The parking lot of Hoffman Estates’ Sears Centre arena will become a temporary drive-in movie theater beginning Thursday night for a showing of the 1985 adventure comedy “The Goonies.”
The movie will be projected on a 70-foot screen, with audio provided through FM transmission, according to the company behind the effort, Chicago Drive-In Theater. The company launched earlier this month with screenings at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview.
Doors open at 7 p.m., and showtime is 9 p.m. General admission tickets are $30 per car, or $50 for a preferred viewing location, and are available at www.chicagodrivein.com. Concessions will be available from a central stand as well as mobile units, offering soda, popcorn and candy.
