STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- While movie theaters are still closed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Staten Islanders will be able to go to the Mount Loretto Unique Area in Pleasant Plains for drive-in movies starting this week.
The Catholic Charities of Staten Island, in conjunction with Borough President James Oddo and Staten Island University Hospital, will host “Drive In Movies at The Mount" this summer.
It will kick off with the showing of the Disney Pixar film, “Toy Story 4,” on Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m. However, tickets for those showtimes are already sold out.
The next movie will be Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet” on Friday, June 19, and Saturday, June 20. You can go to www.cc-si.org/product-category/events/ for tickets.
The cost is $30 per vehicle, and tickets must be purchased in advance.
Mac Truck NYC will provide concession stands, but movie-goers can bring their own snacks as well.
Restrooms will be available.
All proceeds will benefit Catholic Charities of Staten Island.
Only 60 tickets will be sold due to social distancing and safety measures put in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
When purchasing tickets, you will be required to select an assigned parking spot prior to completing your purchase. SUVs cannot select a parking space from rows 1, 2, or 3, according to Catholic Charities. Once your spot has been assigned, it cannot be changed.
In the event of inclement weather, the date will be changed and your ticket will remain valid. The movies will take place in the CYO Center parking lot at 6581 Hylan Blvd.

Holmes said he also plans to show “Forrest Gump,” “Grease,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and other kid-friendly movies over the course of the summer.
