While many movie theaters are closed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Walmart is making it possible for viewers to still see movies on the big screen.

Walmart has launched pop-up drive-in movie theaters in 160 store parking lots across the country, 14 of which are in North Texas.

Walmart's drive-in theaters were created in partnership with the Tribeca Film Festival.

The movies are free, but they will require a ticket due to parking limitations.

Tickets for the drive-in movies went on sale on Wednesday. By Thursday morning, the tickets were completely sold out across the country.

That means that tickets for all 14 North Texas theaters โ€” located in Prosper, Plano, The Colony, Frisco, Roanoke, Bedford, Grand Prairie, McKinney, Irving, Rockwall, Denton, Wylie, and Murphy โ€” are entirely sold out.

Walmart will begin showing movies in North Texas on Aug. 14 and will continue through Oct. 21.
