FRANKLIN, WI — Onward, Fast and Furious, Frozen 2, Toy Story 4 and Sonic The Hedgehog are just a few of the movies that will appear on the big screen on the Milwaukee area's newest outdoor movie theater starting on Friday. The Milwaukee Milkmen have partnered with the Franklin Department Of Tourism and Studio Gear to set up the Milky Way Drive-In at the Ballpark Commons located in Franklin. Tickets are on sale now. Here's where you can see movie dates and times and buy tickets. The Milky Way Drive-In will accommodate 150 vehicles and show movies on an outdoor LED screen. The schedule kicks off on Memorial Day Weekend and runs through Labor Day. There will be two shows daily when the Milwaukee Milkmen are playing out of town, with family-oriented films slated for the early shows and more mature fare in the evening. There is also a weekly late-night feature planned for teens and young adults. Organizers say that Studio Gear has installed a 40-foot LED board for the image and transmit sound via radio frequency. An array of stadium food and drink concessions will be available including a "car hop" option where food is delivered to movie attendees. Stadium restrooms will be open for use with enforced social distancing safety guidelines.
