Most movie theaters are closed right now. Companies are holding back on releasing new movies. However, several movies are still being released in two places: your home and drive-in movie theaters. Yep, drive-ins are popular again!

Think about it. You can head to a drive-in by yourself or with a loved one and stay in your car the entire time. You’re not infecting anyone else, just enjoying a movie in a very nostalgic way. For those itching to get out of the house, the drive-in theater is a perfect way to be safe and enjoy a simple pleasure.

Other movie studios are releasing movies available for rent at home in these troubling times. For example, Onward, Invisible Man, The Hunt, and Emma went straight to digital release.
