With theaters still closed or operating at reduced capacity due to COVID-19, Michael B. Jordan is giving families a fun new way to celebrate the summer movie experience.

The actor -- via the production company he founded, Outlier Society -- has teamed up with Amazon Studios to take over drive-ins across the country for free movie nights.

Together, they are launching the summer-long "A Night at the Drive-In" experience. The initiative not only allows families to enjoy a blockbuster double-feature while socially distancing in their vehicles, but will also showcase a collection of racially diverse films.

Jordan handpicked every movie that will play, from romantic comedies to thrillers, to ensure there's something for everyone -- no matter their age, race or gender. Some of the movies he curated are "Crazy Rich Asians," "Hook," "Creed" and "Coming to America."

"With this drive-in summer series, I hope that friends and families are able to not only enjoy, but to learn and grow," the 33-year-old said in a statement. "Now more than ever, amplifying Black and Brown stories means engaging culture to speak to hearts and minds about the world we live in."
