Park-In Pictures

Overview

For years, Brisbanites keen to watch movies in their cars have zoomed down the highway to Yatala. Lovers of the drive-in experience now have another option, though — Park-In Pictures, a 75-vehicle pop-up drive-in by Get Parked that's taking over a vacant parking lot in Hendra.

On Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17 — and on future dates as well, if it's popular — Park-In Pictures will set up a ten-metre-wide, six-metre-high big screen at 490–500 Nudgee Road. And, it'll play a number of recent flicks. If you fancy a bit of candy-coloured, female-focused comic-book action starring Margot Robbie, you can watch Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Other options include Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen, so break out your tartan tracksuits and prepare to start speaking in Cockney rhyming slang — plus the family-friendly My Spy, the latest movie to pair a big burly action hero (Guardians of the Galaxy's Dave Bautista, in this instance) with a kid for comedic purposes.

There'll also be snacks on offer, with popcorn, lollies, ice cream, hot dogs, burgers, chips and drinks all brought to your vehicle.

Social-distancing measures will be in place — although many are already part and parcel of the drive-in concept — and your ticket covers up to six people. It'll cost you $39 if you want a 'gold' parking bay to watch the film, or $33 otherwise.
