Zoradi emphasized that even with auditorium capacities reduced to 50%, Cinemark can “operate profitability with all the (safety) techniques we put in place.”
The following week will see another third reopening, with remaining theaters opening over the July 10-12 weekend.
Deadline brings word that Cinemark is planning to start a multi-phased reopening of its theaters beginning June 19, according to CEO Mark Zoradi, who also feels confidant that Christopher Nolan’s movie Tenet will open on July 17 as planned.
“We’ve been in close contact with Warner Bros. and they remain optimistic and positive as well as Christopher Nolan about the July 17 opening,” said Zoradi.
