Sony will also debut The Broken Hearts Gallery, a romantic comedy from executive producer Selena Gomez.
The drive-in campaign, which is similar to marketing efforts currently in operation at 160 Walmart parking lots and select third-party venues into October, is in response to ongoing closures of movie theaters due to the coronavirus pandemic.
