Catch up with friends on Sept. 9 for a #SafeandFunMovieWatching
With the reopening of recreational establishments in the metro under general community quarantine, SM Mall of Asia decided to convert Concert Grounds, a parking and public space, to host Drive-in Movies By the Bay after taking its cue from the successful launch in SM Pampanga Amphitheater
READ: The drive-in cinema is making a comeback, starting July 31
Thriller films Train 2 Busan: Peninsula and Unhinged are included in the initial lineup, which will be played back to back. It has yet to screen a good addition of new films like Tenet and Wonder Woman 1984, but SM Cinema is hinting a possible release of these movies anytime soon.
We had no doubt about the safety measures since its inception last July, looking at it as more of a genius move than a timely trend to bring people back into the game during a pandemic. People would want to rediscover the joy of holing up in their car, away from a fanboy spitting foul words in every scene while watching an adrenaline-filled action film. If we’re being honest, it’s the safer alternative even without a virus scare.
And, because it’s an improvised theater in a parking lot, it’s an alfresco experience. You don’t need to worry about outdoor sanitation and headcounts as SM only allows a maximum of four persons per vehicle, but it’s advisable to just drive in twos for a better viewing. Also, of course, as always, as ever, you can’t turn up without a face mask and face shield.
Each ticket costs P400 per person inclusive of a Snack Time bundle with bottled water, regular-sized popcorn, and beef franks. To maintain a contactless transaction, all tickets should be purchased through http://smtickets.com/sm-drive-in-cinema
