Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 13 May 2020: Majid Al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, is delighted to announce the launch of the VOX Cinemas Drive-in on the rooftop of Mall of the Emirates. Developed in response to the temporary closure of cinemas, and in support of the government re-opening parts of the economy in a safe manner, the new experience will open to the public on Sunday 17 May so that movie lovers can enjoy the magic of cinema from the safety and comfort of their car.

Staying true to VOX Cinemas belief that movies are best watched on the big screen, the drive-in experience will see the rooftop of Mall of the Emirates transformed into a moonlit outdoor movie theatre with evening screenings held at 7.30 pm. All staff will follow Majid Al Futtaims strict health and safety measures to ensure that physical distancing is maintained at all times and that guests can enjoy an exceptional experience with comfort and peace of mind. Once parked, audiences can simply tune into a designated radio frequency for the movie audio to be streamed straight into their car. The cost per car (2 people max) is AED180+ VAT which includes the movie as well as an FB package for two people consisting of caramel popcorn, salt popcorn, nachos, MMs, soft drinks and water.

Proceeds from the first public screening on Sunday 17 May will go towards the 10 Million Meals initiative, which provides meals to those in need during Ramadan. As an added bonus, guests will have the opportunity to win a daily prize of 1,000 SHARE points (AED100). Until 31 May, each FB package will contain a SHARE voucher which guests simply need to scan for a chance to win prizes.

Cameron Mitchell, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim - Cinemas, said, Our customers have been telling us how much they miss the unique and immersive experience that we offer at VOX Cinemas so were delighted to collaborate with Mall of the Emirates to launch an innovative way for people to watch movies the way they were intended on the big screen. With the gradual easing of restrictions on peoples movement, its also the perfect opportunity for people to safely enjoy the big screen experience again with a family member. The health and wellbeing of our guests and employees remains our top priority and moviegoers can rest assured that the VOX Cinemas Drive-in complies with all government and best practice guidance, while still allowing guests to enjoy the big screen experience and our much loved popcorn, nachos and soft drinks.
