The seating arrangement, designed to encourage social
distancing among the 15 real-life patrons who will be allowed into each
screening, is one of the new safety measures theaters are putting in place to
reduce the chance of coronavirus spread.
“We’re going above and beyond to make sure that everything
is spotless and that audiences feel comfortable and safe being with us for two
to three hours,” owner Christian Meoli said.
It is unclear, however, when Meoli and other theater
operators will be able to welcome back guests.
While about 780 indoor cinemas have reopened around the
country, officials in Los Angeles County, the largest moviegoing market in the
United States, have not yet given a green light, voicing concern about a rise
in coronavirus cases. New York City, the country’s No. 2 movie market, also has
not set a date for cinema reopenings.
