“Summer hasn’t really felt like summer yet, and I know I hear every day, ‘Mom, I’m bored!’” Janey Whiteside, Walmart’s chief customer officer, said in the release. “Through our digital means and vast footprint of stores, we’re hoping to bring some summer fun to families across the country. We know Walmart plays a role in our communities that extends far beyond getting them necessary supplies, and we see that now more than ever.”

Walmart will allow attendees to order snacks online and pick them up curbside ahead of the movie. Walmart will also deliver concessions directly to customers’ vehicles.

The screenings will include special appearances from filmmakers and celebrities.
