The series will also feature live stand-up comedy.
On Thursday, the Hollywood classic "Jaws" played on the big screen to a sold-out crowd.
"We're so excited to be here. This is the best idea ever," said moviegoer India Key. "We get to come out, we get to have fun, and everyone from the neighborhood is here."
The makeshift theater can hold a total of 250 cars, and it gives moviegoers a chance to stay safe while still enjoying a sense of community.

"During the pandemic, anyone whose health is compromised, this is a safe way to get out," said Dave Williams, who brought his parents with him to the event.
Some of the movies that will be screened include "Inside Out," "John Wick," "Mean Girls," "Straight Outta Compton," and "Do The Right Thing."
Tickets to "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," "The NeverEnding Story," "Field of Dreams," "Space Jam," "Creed," "The Dark Knight," "Superbad" and "Beetlejuice" have already sold out.
