JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Black Films Matter had planned to bring the community together safely this Saturday through a drive-in movie screening of the much-anticipated cult classic sequel Coming 2 America.
Unfortunately, rainy weather canceled two of the three showings. The Noon and 4 p.m. showings were called off, but tickets purchased for those showings will be honored at the 8 p.m. showing organizers said.

In partnership with 1Bridge and other black-owned partners, Black Films Matter’s pop-up screening will provide food trucks, vendors, and pre-show entertainment, including local artists, African dance and drumming, and more.
They are currently working on an indoor location for anyone wanting to watch the movie at 8 p.m. if the drive-in is canceled for today.
If the 8 p.m. showing is canceled, Black Films Matter and 1Bridge will announce “a bigger and better plan for April/May 2021” next week, where all current ticket purchases will be honored.
Tickets are $40 per car and can be purchased here.
