Vehicles line up for the Carrie Carpool Cinema drive-in at the Carrie Blast Furnaces on Saturday, July 25, 2020.

Rivers of Steel kicked off its Carrie Carpool Cinema series at the Carrie Blast Furnaces this weekend with movies shot in Pittsburgh.

On Friday, “Flashdance” and “Out of the Furnace” were projected onto a large screen at the Rankin site, followed by “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “Kingpin” on Saturday.

In total, there will be five weekends of movies — one each month — through November at the blast furnaces. Each weekend will have a different theme.

Drive-in movies have made a comeback during the covid-19 pandemic with makeshift drive-ins popping up in neighborhood parks and large parking lots.
