Cinemark to begin reopening theaters Friday, all to be open by mid-July
The company is "strongly encouraging" people visiting their theaters to wear masks, and masks and gloves are mandatory for employees. Seats will be cleaned between movie screenings, hand sanitizer and seat wipes will be available to moviegoers, and ticket sales limits, staggered showtimes, and other measures will encourage safe distancing. Cinemark also says it's using "new tactics to increase the fresh air intake to enhance the overall air quality."
Movie fans will initially be able to enjoy big-screen viewings of what Cinemark calls "Comeback Classics," from the velociraptors and tyrannosaurs of the original "Jurassic Park" to the swashbuckling action of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the hellhounds and wisecracking of the 1984 "Ghostbusters." Tickets for these classics cost $3 for kids and $5 for adults. New blockbusters will start showing on July 10, with the release of "Unhinged."
