It’s spring in Maine – finally – which this year means, it’s time to get out and see some movies.
Last year, when so many indoor theaters were closed because of COVID-19, drive-ins and other outdoor film venues were the only option for people to see movies on the big screen. But, also because of the pandemic, Hollywood wasn’t releasing new material, so drive-ins showed mostly old favorites.
