After a sold-out run last year, Disney+ Drive in has returned to Bankwest Stadium. THey kicked off with beloved romcom 10 Things I Hate About You, starring the late, great Heath Ledger, alongside Julia Stiles. The film is a cute retelling of William Shakespeare play The Taming of the Shrew. Because the Mouse House is obvs all about adorable rodent-like creatures. Not that any shrews were involved (let alone harmed) in the making of this late '90s high school drama.
The pop-up cinema offers a mix of Marvel superheroes going toe-to-toe with supervillains, Pixar's eye-popping, digitally driven animations, the good old hand-drawn classics and big, lush romances like Pretty Woman (April 18), so there’s something for everyone in the 'in your car under the stars' program.
Swoon and then weep to Leonardo DiCaprio dying (spoilers) in both Romeo + Juliet (April 27) and Titanic (April 23), and maybe leave the kids at home for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (April 20) and Deadpool (April 21). And you can always rewatch Frozen (April 17) in preparation for the live stage show.
Tickets are on sale now. It’s $45 for a car with up to five movie-loving passengers. Gates open at 7pm every day, with the film showing around 8pm. Snacks and soft drinks will be available on-site, with DoorDash coming on board for car deliveries. You’re also totally allowed to pack your own picnic. Just be aware it’s a no-booze zone. But otherwise, let it (all) go.
