Drive-In Movie Screening
If normal movies just aren’t cutting it for you, why not load up your car and head on down to Downtown East for a once-in-a-lifetime experience of watching a movie in your car?
With Downtown East’s signature Drive-In Movie Screening programme resuming on 28 May, you can catch Shang-Chi and The Legend of Ten Rings, one of Marvel’s latest blockbusters.
Apart from that, you’ll also get to enjoy “an extraordinary audio experience with Cinewav’s all-new audio solution” during the movie, taking a Saturday night out to the next level.
And if you’re worried that your stomach will start rumbling halfway through the movie, Downtown East has got you covered too. For an admission fee of $25 per car, you will also receive two complimentary burgers and two drinks (worth $14).
But if the burgers and drinks aren’t enough, there will also be additional snacks on sale during the movie. A burger and a drink will cost $7, 32oz popcorn will cost $4.50 and 32oz candy floss will cost $5.
Each car is recommended to have up to three people in order for you to have the best unblocked viewing experience.
And if you need an idea as to where the movie will be screened, the screening will take place at Downtown East’s Begonia Open-air Carpark (along Pasir Ris Drive 3)
There will only be 40 slots available and walk-ins on the day itself will not be accepted, so head on down to Eventbrite to book your tickets before they’re sold out now!
