Another queen is bringing movies to the masses.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, Queen Elizabeth II has announced that Sandringham Country Park, located on her lavish 20,000-acre Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England, will feature drive-in movies later this month.

The 94-year-old royal matriarch’s countryside retreat will host a makeshift drive-in theater for one weekend in September, with screenings of a variety of films ranging from 2018′s “A Star is Born” to last year’s World War I epic “1917.”

A series of family-friendly blockbusters such as “Toy Story,” “The Greatest Showman” and “Moana” are also on the lineup, along with musical films such as “Grease,” the Elton John biopic “Rocketman” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” about Freddie Mercury and Queen.

The drive-in screenings will take place on the estate from Sept. 25-27, with three daily showtimes. Tickets are about $40.

With social distance measures in place, the estate said: “Enjoy your [favorite] movie from the comfort of your car in the wonderful setting of Sandringham Country Park. We have selected some great street food vendors to join us at each performance.”

For filmgoers who want to be get more comfortable, upgrades to add deck chairs, tables, concessions and separate areas to the side of their vehicles are also available.

Sandringham, where the royal matriarch spends winter holidays, is roughly 100 miles north of London and is approximately 20,000 acres.

Like all of the royal palaces, Sandringham Estate is open to the public, although the coronavirus crisis has brought on some new changes.

According to published reports, Her majesty and her husband, Prince Phillip, are currently residing at their Balmoral Estate in Scotland.
