Reading along with most of the other players in Christchurch have developed new measures to protect the ongoing health and well-being of guests.
Included in the measures are a reduction in auditorium and lobby capacities and a staggered seating approach to ensure appropriate physical distancing.
Prior to the anticipated release of movies from the major studios, including Christopher Nolan’s Tenet from Warner Bros. and Disney’s Mulan, programming for New Zealand cinemas will include a mix of recently released major studio movies and older films.
