People from around Missouri watch Groundhog Day on May 8, 2020, at B&B Moberly Five and Drive in Moberly, Mo. The drive-in showed this movie as part of its reopening after closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The next showings are Space Jam on Saturday and Monday and Groundhog Day on Sunday. The B&B allows people in at 7:30 p.m. with the movies starting around 8:40 p.m.

Drive-in movies regained popularity during the pandemic as it was a safe way for people to gather, watch movies and spend time outside of their homes.
