Marcus Theaters reopen some theaters amid coronavirus pandemic
GREENDALE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Though the world is still living in a pandemic, some movie theaters are reopening.
Masks are strongly encouraged for guests, especially in the common areas, at the Marcus Theater Bistroplex in Greendale.
Patrons can take them off once inside the theater, where there is spaced seating.
The Bistroplex is one of the few local theaters that does in-theater dining.
But for now, thatโs canceled.
Though there is a limited menu, moviegoers can still order food and drink theyโll just have to pick up on a table outside the theater.
People are encouraged to buy their tickets and order concessions online โ to keep person-to-person contact low.
Moviegoers tell CBS 58 theyโre okay with the safe reopen.
โI feel like Iโm okay with the theater being open. I mean as long as itโs still, kind of, separate from each other and everybodyโs still practicing social distancing, itโs fine," moviegoer Alexis Carson said.
โSome places didnโt survive this, or arenโt surviving this, unfortunately. Itโs good that businesses are making the best with what they can," patron Tammie Wohlfiel said.
As of now, the Bistroplex showings are on Tuesdays, and Friday through Sunday.
Also, just four Marcus Theaters in Wisconsin have reopened, so be sure to check ahead before you head out.
