The beginning of covid-19 definitely put a halt to the theater business. Several movie industries faced a lot of financial losses as they couldn’t release their movies in theaters and had to find an alternative method. Many movies were released on an online platform, which didn’t bring as much profit that would be expected commercially.
Now, as the New Year begins, many theaters in Colorado are reopening as the restrictions for covid are starting to ease.
AMC Theaters
A few of the AMC theaters have already opened up, with all the safety precautions being taken seriously.
Harkins Theater
The tickets at Harkins Theaters are being sold, which started on 8th January 2021. Even the Cinemark Theaters are doing so; even the official authorities have taken matters into their own hands by providing masks, seating arrangements, and the number of people in the theater will also be done with great precaution. Disinfecting the auditoriums will be an important task in the colorado movie theaters.
Technological Precautions
A technological seat buffering device will help detect and block the booking of seats next to a person to ensure safety.
Private Watch Parties
This service is being offered to people who seek a private platform to enjoy their movies rather than in crowded spaces. These watch parties are being offered by Cinemark currently.
Vice president Brashears Reassures the Public
