Luxury movie circuit IPIC on Tuesday announced reopening plans for its 14 locations, including staggered seating and thermal temperature checks.
The first of the chain's cinemas to once again welcome customers are all in Texas, where movie theaters were allowed to resume operation earlier this month at reduced capacity (only a smattering have chosen to do so) after coronavirus shelter-in-place orders were relaxed.
IPIC is targeting June 4 for its Houston and Fairview venues, followed by Austin on June 11. The company didn't say when its Los Angeles theater would flip on the lights.
Hollywood and the movie industry are counting on cinemas being open en masse in time for Christopher Nolan's summer tentpole Tenet on July 17.
