It’s no surprise that the COVID-19 Pandemic has caused movie theaters and film companies to transition methods to save their businesses.
According to Forbes, “AMC Theaters is expected to post a $2.4 billion first-quarter loss in the wake of this pandemic.”
In order to combat these huge losses, a popular strategy some theaters are pursuing is an immediate release of films directly to streaming platforms, instead of the typical “theater-first” model.
We touched on this subject in a previous news article involving AMC Theaters No Longer Showing Universal Movies.
However, it appears the traditional theater model is coming back. Well at least for Cinemark Theatres and a few others.
Throughout its website, Cinemark states the following:
“As we begin thoughtfully reopening theatres, the health and well-being of our guests, employees and communities is a top priority. You will notice greatly enhanced cleanliness, sanitizing and safety measures at every step of your movie-going experience.”
Cinemark Theaters will be offering incentives such as reduced ticket prices, discounted concessions, and other specials.
They have noted some of these changes within their social media posts:

Overall, it will be very interesting to see what happens as movie theaters like Cinemark start to reopen their doors to the public.
