Time to schedule your movie dates, cinephiles!
After what is dubbed the “world’s longest cinema lockdown,” theaters and movie houses can finally breathe a sigh of relief as they are given the thumbs-up to reopen and welcome cinephiles once again.
Though the green light was given as early as October 16, not all cinemas chose to reopen immediately. Most took their time to prepare the premises to be compliant with minimum safety protocols, while also reminding the public that only fully-vaccinated moviegoers will be allowed inside theaters.Â
Now, we finally have a date — November 10. Here’s a running list of cinemas that will reopen on the date to help you relive the joy of watching movies outside of your house!
