Lambertville Cinema Offering Drive-In Saturday Series

LAMBERTVILLE, N.J. — Missing the movies? Acme Screening Room, in Lambertville, is hoping to help by bringing back the drive-in.

Acme Carpool Cinema will be hosted every Saturday night for the rest of the summer at 204 N. Union St. in Lambertville. Each evening will feature live music by local bands, followed by a movie screening at dusk.

The nonprofit art-house movie theater at 25 S. Union St. has been closed since March 8. Now, they've partnered with the City of Lambertville to host the drive-in events.

Tickets will be available online and are $35-40 per car.

"We are happy to provide a socially distanced evening event, to allow everyone to get out carefully this summer," said cinema executive director Donna Muchnicki. "Our audience has been great and enjoys the package of both live music and a film favorite."

Patrons are invited to bring their own food or take advantage of local restaurants offering takeout. Thai Tida will be on-site providing Thai street food.

Currently, Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" is scheduled for July 25 and the Freddie Mercury biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" is set for Aug. 1. More films will be added to the schedule each week, organizers say.
