Reminiscent of the drive-in era, local residents and tourists can now enjoy the latest family friendly movies in a unique setting—underneath a star filled sky with the beautiful Lake Taneycomo and the world-class Branson Landing Fountains serving as the “theater’s” backdrop. Instead of watching a movie in their hotel room or at home, families can now venture to the great-out-of-doors, pull up a blanket and escape into the wonderful world of film.
Besides providing an inviting atmosphere, the price for admission is “right on the money” for a family’s vacation budget…FREE! Plus, with a host of snack shops and restaurants, families can grab their favorite snacks and nestle in for the perfect solution to the Monday night “blahs”.
“We wanted to offer both the community and patrons of the Landing an evening activity on Monday nights. With many of the Branson shows being closed on Monday evenings, we felt there was a need to provide an affordable family friendly alternative to simply watching television. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to relax after a long day of either work or visiting one of the many wonderful attractions and shows around town,” stated Tammy Scholten, Director of Marketing for the Branson Landing.
This all-new entertainment option includes a great variety of G and PG rated movies including such recent releases as “Shrek 3” and “We Are Marshall” to great classics like “The Goonies” and “Field of Dreams”. During the summer, the movies will begin at 9PM (weather permitting), showcased on a state-of- the-art projector and screen, supplied by Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, standing 28 feet tall, 26 feet wide and 20 feet deep, with the sound being projected throughout the viewing area as well as being available over a local radio station, 103.5 fm.
Movie goers will have the opportunity this summer to vote for their favorite all time movie with the “You Pick the Flick” Contest. The movie with the most entries from the “You Pick The Flick” Contest will run on Labor Day, Monday, September 1st at 9PM. The Monday Night Movie Schedule is as follows:
