COLUMBUS – Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, watching movies from cars at drive-ins has been making a comeback and now there are plans for a floating cinema, which is scheduled to drop anchor in Columbus in September.
Beyond Cinema, an Australian production company, is bringing Floating Boat Cinema to Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and other cities worldwide, including Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Houston, Chicago, Miami, Orlando, New York and Philadelphia.
Each “cinema” is made up of 12 to 24 mini-boats, each holding up to eight people.
Tickets will require that the entire boat be purchased to ensure that groups will be seated with friends and family to allow for social distancing on and between boats.
The Floating Boat Cinema is schedule to play in Columbus week of Sept. 23.
