FOXBORO, Mass., May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Showcase Cinemas, in partnership with Patriot Place, announced today that tickets have sold out for a Pop-up Drive-in scheduled for Saturday, May 30 at sunset (approximately at 8:45 p.m.) at the Showcase Cinema de Lux Patriot Place. The showing of “Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark” will also feature concession pre-order and curbside pick-up via the Showcase Cinemas app. All ticket proceeds will benefit the Foxboro Food Pantry.
The upcoming schedule for the Showcase Cinemas de Lux and Patriot Place Pop-up Drive-in includes: “Onward” (Friday, June 5); “Trolls World Tour” (Friday, June 12); and “Sonic the Hedgehog” (Friday, June 19). Tickets are $20 per auto and all shows will start at sunset (approximately 8:45 p.m.).
“Drive-ins are a big part of Showcase Cinemas’ 80-year history as the company was one of the first theater chains to introduce and embrace the drive-in concept throughout the 20th century,” said Mark Malinowski, Vice President of Global Marketing for Showcase Cinemas. “Therefore, we are excited to bring our history full circle with this new concept that sold out its first show in less than 24-hours. This will be our first step towards reopening Showcase Cinemas with new health and safety protocols in the coming weeks.”
“Patriot Place is thrilled to collaborate with Showcase Cinemas to kick off the summer season with this special event,” said Brian Earley, Vice President and General Manager of Patriot Place. “We are excited for our guests to enjoy this timeless summer tradition with us from the safety of their vehicles. We are also thankful for the opportunity to give back to the Foxboro community with all ticket sales from the ‘Raiders’ showing benefitting the Foxboro Food Pantry.”
Last month, Showcase Cinemas hosted a “Fan Favorite Showdown” via its social channels to determine fans’ favorite film from 64 contenders across all genres. Paramount Picture’s “Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark” earned the most votes on Twitter and the second most votes on Facebook. Based on those results, Showcase will screen the original “Raiders,” the top-grossing film in the summer of 1981, as the Pop-up Drive-in’s first feature presentation. Guests will be able to enjoy this time-honored summer tradition from the comfort of their vehicles while adhering to safe social-distancing guidelines.
The Drive In issued the following rules:
All tickets must be purchased on the Showcase Cinemas App.
You can find tickets available on the app under our Showcase Cinema de Lux Patriot Place
Please place all food orders on the app as well to allow for best curbside pick-up process.
Once entering the Drive-In you will select “Start my order” on the Showcase app to allow our team to have your order ready.
Please stay in your vehicle during the presentation to best exercise social distancing.
If you need to leave your car to visit the restroom or open your window, you will be required to wear a mask.
Restrooms will be available at the theater and will be cleaned regularly, but occupancy will be limited at any one time.
To hear the movie presentation in your vehicle, you will be prompted onsite to tune in a designated FM radio station.

We will provide all vehicles with a trash bag upon mobile ticketing check-in – we ask that you keep and remove all trash to allow the area to stay clean and safe for all guests and drive-in employees.
