America’s largest movie-theater chains are reopening—and hope industrywide virus-safety protocols will draw people out of their homes

The nation’s three major chains—AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., Cinemark Holdings Inc.

and Cineworld Group PLC’s Regal Entertainment Group—on Friday announced initiatives designed to encourage moviegoers’ return. Most cinemas closed their doors in March after the pandemic led authorities to shut down businesses...

Haven't gone since June 1989. Don't miss the bad experience of crowds in a movie theater.

Bartender, can I have a Corona please.?

I miss movies in theaters but not enough to go in right now or any time soon.

Great, spread the virus. Don't people have more than enough channels on their tv to watch a movie at home.

After this year they will be gone.

Open cinemas might be a thing of future!

Nope!

No thank you

If you’ve been evicted b/c you couldn’t afford rent, at least they have A/C.

As much as I want to be proven wrong, similar attempts around the world with various protocols in place just are not working. I don’t think we really know all we need to know about the coronavirus.

Not going to happen till I’ve been vaccinated against COVID19. Hopefully next summer.

Nopes.

👎😐 IMO .. bad idea. It's all about the $$$ isn't it? Their CEO's are shuddering in their shoes thinking they might not get a million dollar bonus this year. F*ck them. Stay home, stay safe, stay well. The movies can wait. You can't watch anything if you're dead.

No movie is worth the risk of joining crowds of people who have proven they can’t control their emotions and behave maturely.

GraceRandolph Do you like these protocols that movie theaters plan on adopting? COVID19

Lol yea let's go in a small room with piss poor ventilation, while they pay high school kids $7.25 an hour to literally mop from ceiling to floor with sanitizer. Sounds awful. Put your Hollywood money into electing officials with a covid plan.

I'd they will be open to provide full coverage for any exposure and not make movie goers sign waiver forms then let's talk .... otherwise it's all phaff

Literally the last place I’d go. Also many are not requiring masks once inside the theatre/during the movie...only to enter the premises. Imagine being stuck indoors for 2h with no social distancing and no masks. No thank you.

Because 1000 dead a day is not enough.

How nice for all of the big chain businesses. Glad for them. Meanwhile small businesses go under. ...Is this the plan

$AMC

I so much wish for the movie thing. I hope it works out. Big corporations are hurting. I love movies. I know. Spend so much money on the digital. Big screen tvs, I have nostalgia. It was my gig for a long time. I sadly could see it going by the wayside, some new angles, too.

Pass

WSJ = CCP RUNNING DOG Take an early look at The Wall Street Journal = become CCP running dog early. As WSJ.

I for one cannot wait to go to the movies after the pandemic is over and nobody’s dying but this ain’t it

smh

nah man... go on and let me stream Tenet for $20 on my own big screen

Industry wide doesn't change national crisis...unsafe feeling people will not go back out and risk their lives and their families for the sake of their inconsiderate neighbors.

The women of Afghanistan requesting the entire world to stop financing Pakistan Army to elemenate terrorism. In fact the Pakistan Army further strengthen the terrorists producing factories in their headquarters and sending them to Afghanistan to kill innocent Afghans.

Virus safety? Since when is preventive medicine a safety issue and not a health issue? Health is an internal, personal responsibility. Safety is external. Unless you want to dump the responsibility of one's personal health onto others. Twisting language to fit an agenda

Yeah 👎

As long as attendance is kept to a minimum and air circulation/filtration is there, movie theaters are big enough to accomodate viewers. Hell, half the movies I saw last year had about 15 people in the theater. Past opening weekend, things usually spread out anyway.

I'm not scared of the virus or my safety.. it's these stupid ass restrictions that keep me away.

People is out of their homes already! Wake up and provide the truth to the american people!
