MOVIE THEATRES IN ILLINOIS ARE LOOKING TO OPEN…BUT GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS NOT YET.
PHASE THREE OF THE RESTORE ILLINOIS PLAN BEGINS FRIDAY, WITH SEVERAL BUSINESSES OPENING BACK UP. THE GOVERNOR SAYS THAT WON’T INCLUDE MOVIE THEATRES.
THEATRE OWNERS HAVE PROPOSED A PLAN TO OPEN AT 50 PERCENT CAPACITY, BUT GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS HE CAN’T SEE THAT SAFELY HAPPENING.
UNDER THE GOVERNOR’S REOPENING PLAN, THEATRES CAN’T OPEN THEIR DOORS UNTIL PHASE FOUR. THE EARLIEST PHASE FOUR WOULD BEGIN IS THE END OF JUNE, AND THEATRES WOULD BE LIMITED TO 50 PEOPLE PER MOVIE.
