Local movie buffs can return to watching films on the big screen as Cineplex prepares to open the remainder of their closed theatres across the country, including Galaxy Cinemas in St. Thomas.
As of Friday (Aug 21), all 164 theatres will reopen to movie lovers following the gradual reopen of some locations across the county. As Cineplex prepares to welcome their customers back they are also offering special $5 movie tickets and $2.99 Tuesday tickets for a limited time.
Cineplex made the move to reopen their facilities after a limit of 50 people per theatre was granted by the Ontario government. There were previous concerns of there being a limit of 50 people per building.
For the reopening of theatres, there will be reserved seating, every other row will be blocked off, and only debit and credit options will be allowed.
