U.S. Cellular Bringing Free Drive-In Movie to Springfield

U.S. Cellular is hosting a FREE Drive-In Movie in Springfield on Oct. 9 and 10 in the Battlefield Mall parking lot. This “Movie Under the Stars” experience includes a 7:00 p.m. screening of Shrek, and it will be open to 150 vehicles free of charge each night. Anyone 18 years or older can register for a parking pass at driveinSpringfield.uscellular.com beginning Oct. 1. Only one person in each vehicle needs to register for a pass, and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition to free entry, U.S. Cellular will provide each vehicle complimentary movie snacks.

“As many community events and activities have been postponed or cancelled this year, we wanted to provide a safe experience for people to leave their homes and have fun outdoors – at no cost to them,” said Nakeita Stewart, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Missouri. “Nostalgia for drive-in movies has reached new heights, and as a dedicated member of the Springfield community, we hope movie fans will join us for a night of entertainment the whole family can enjoy.”

U.S. Cellular is bringing a custom, 52-foot screen to the Battlefield Mall parking lot for the movie. The movie site, located next to Macy’s, will open at 5:30 p.m., and parking spots will be strategically mapped to ensure the best viewing angles and distances for peak safety. Audio will be enabled through each car’s FM radio, and on-site attendants will guide vehicles to their parking spots and check that everyone follows safety guidelines.
