Drive-in cinema coming to Jamaica
We’re going outside, Buzz fam! Maybe.
Palace Amusement has obtained a licence for premises
at Dominica Drive in New Kingston, Jamaica for the operation of a drive-in
cinema.
Palace had previously shared that it explored the possibility
but had not taken a decision.
However, with the coronavirus looking to stay around
for a while longer, and Jamaica declaring community transmission, the company
is again looking at the option.
The licence was obtained on August 21 with the
initial work beginning on setting up a cinema but no timeline has been given
for when we could be watching blockbuster films under the night sky.
Palace had closed its cinemas in mid-March in
keeping with COVID-19 protocols but reopened in July with strict guidelines in
place.
