Marcus officials say their aim is to get the theater operational as soon as possible, and run the outdoor theater until Sept. 30.
OAK CREEK, WI — Marcus Theaters is asking Oak Creek for approval of a new outdoor movie theater, and new details of the project have been made public.
Members of the Oak Creek Plan Commission will review plans for a temporary outdoor movie theater at the South Shore Cinema location at 7261 S. 13th Street. Marcus officials say their aim is to get the theater operational as soon as possible, and run the outdoor theater until Sept. 30. According to a Milwaukee Biz Times report, Marcus said they're planning to open their Parking Lot Cinema on June 26.
According to Plan Commission documents, Marcus Theatres would mount a screen to the east wall of the cinema and create a Drive In parking field.
The outdoor cinema operation at South Shore would have the location open daily at 7:30 p.m. with a show start at dusk.
Under the plans, the cinema would show the films on a 48-foot wide screen mounted to the north side wall. The sound will be transmitted via a low power FM radio transmitter.
Marcus officials said the show would be a daily double-feature of titles rated G, PG, or PG-13 or "visually appropriate" films only, and the site would be limited to 120 cars.
All movie tickets would be sold online or via the Marcus Theaters app. Social distancing of at least 6 feet would be maintained at all times, officials said.
Under the plan, people would remain in their vehicles or immediately in front of their vehicles, and there would be no socializing between cars.
Security would patrol the lot at all times, officials said.
Guests will be required to wear face coverings whenever they are outside their vehicle, according to plans. The Oak Creek Plan Commission will review the plans Tuesday night.
"Just like we opened a Parking Lot Cinema at our Brookfield Majestic location a few weeks ago, we are now adding another drive-in concept to our South Shore Cinema in Oak Creek," Marcus officials told Patch in an email. "It is scheduled to start June 26 and will be our fourth overall Parking Lot Cinema."
