The Rooftop Cinema Club opened on August 25 at the first Dallas Automotive Cinema just north of the City Plaza by the Central Expressway.

As of October 4th, modern movies and classic movies will be shown on the 52-foot-long movie screen. Watching movies does not require contact with passengers.

Rooftop Cinema Club opened on the roof of London in 2011 and has now expanded to other locations in New York, Los Angeles and San Diego. Since the March coronavirus pandemic, the company has shifted its focus to its own movie installations in Texas, including two locations in Houston and one location in San Antonio.

The ride-hailing area of ​​Dallas is located on North Carroll Avenue, near the Leaning Tower of Dallas, the most famous last stop in the spring. The area is being converted into a development project called The Central.

The fare is $22-$35 per car. According to the organizers, the cars will be guided to park "up to 10 feet apart". Movie audio can be received via FM broadcast.

Guests must watch the movie in a vehicle, truck chassis or hatchback. Sitting outdoors is forbidden, which means lawn chairs or picnic blankets are forbidden. When going out, guests must wear a face mask and follow the social guidance guidelines. The disinfection products will be sold in the on-site restroom.

Guests can bring their own snacks and drinks. They can also order food from Rooftop Cinema Club or on-site trucks. Orders must be placed online, and customers will be notified when they are picked up so that they can stay in the car while waiting.
