Cinema Safety
A new international research study looking at covid-19 contagion in various indoor spaces found that cinemas are the safest out-of-home indoor activity, when compared to restaurants, classrooms, offices, public transport, supermarkets and gyms – wearing a mask in cinema increased that safety by almost 50 percent.

Our Operating Procedures*
– Increased fresh-air rates within the cinemas. Our air regulation systems will provide higher air changes rates within each auditorium, cycling new fresh-air to match the occupancy of each cinema 6 times per hour. This has been proven to be the most effective safety measure against transmission, and why cinemas are deemed to be the safest out of home activity. Please note due to the proven safety of cinemas, social distancing has not been required within auditoriums.
– Staggered sessions to reduce foyer congestion between screenings.
– Increased contact surface cleaning.
