In the span of just 6 months, Newark Moonlight Cinema drive-in has established itself as an entertainment go-to in Brick City.


But now the theater, known for playing classic films well-loved by many in the Black community, is set to take a few months hiatus, according to owners Ayanna and Siree Morris. The company announced its final showtimes of the season, scheduled for this weekend (through Sunday); a lineup that includes “The Photograph,” (starring Issa Rae and LaKeith Stanfield) and “The Best Man Holiday.”
