And so it begins -- what promises to be a long and more than likely frustrating, reopening process in the U.S. while still in the midst of the coronavirus. It's no secret that states have been planning for this for some time, and it makes sense that there would be certain restrictions that need to be observed. In addition, movies provide an escape for people and serve as a way to at least indirectly socialize with others (albeit without talking). No doubt this will be a big morale boost -- for those who can get in, because from the sound of it, it appears seating will be very limited. There might be a need for extra security at these theaters, just to ensure that everything runs in an orderly fashion. -- IFPO.
