The Milky Way Drive-In, the outdoor movie theater in the parking lot next to the Milwaukee Milkmen's stadium in Franklin, is reopening for the 2022 season with 2021's biggest movie: "Spider-Man: No Way Home."
The Marvel movie, currently the sixth-highest-grossing movie of all time, is showing at 7:30 p.m. May 21.
Tickets at the Milky Way will again be $35 per carload.
According to the drive-in's website, the Milky Way is expected to be in operation through Oct. 30, on nights when the Milkmen are on the road.

The Milky Way debuted in 2020, during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the north parking lot at Ballpark Commons, 7900 Crystal Ridge Drive, next to Franklin Field, the Milkmen's home stadium. It was the first drive-in theater in the Milwaukee area in nearly 20 years. It returned for a second season in 2021.
One change from previous years' operations: Instead of ordering food through an app, snacks and beverages will be sold by concessions staff roaming the parking lot. (Food and drink carry-ins are still prohibited.)

May 21: 10:45 p.m., "Scream" (2022 version)
May 22: 5 p.m., "Encanto"
June 9: 6:30 p.m., "Jurassic Park" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" (double feature)
