© Regal CinemasBeing a champion of exhibition, and the first tentpole filmmaker to get movie theaters up and running with Tenet, it should come as no surprise to hear that the movie’s filmmaker Christopher Nolan and his wife, producer Emma Thomas, headed to the multiplex recently in Irvine CA, showing their full support for theaters. In fact, we hear they’ve been twice since the big circuits reopened during the pandemic, and it wasn’t self-serving to check-in or promote Tenet.
Regal Cinemas tweeted out a photo yesterday on social media, writing, “Thanks for stopping by Regal Irvine Spectrum Christopher Nolan #TENET.” We hear that Nolan and Thomas were there to see Tri-Star’s Broken Hearts Gallery, and we understand last week they also watched Armando Iannucci’s Searchlight feature The Personal History of David Copperfield.
Exhibition is in greater dire straits right now as most major studios have delayed their fall releases deeper into the calendar and with consumer confidence still on the fence about returning quickly to the multiplex. Movie theaters need more filmmakers like Nolan, and stars like Tom Cruise (who caught a London screening of Tenet with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie in London and posted on social about it at the end of August) to send out good vibes. Never more than now has the divide between the major studios and exhibition been greater, and a more concerted effort (and I mean more) has to take place to sell the message, much like the streamers do in TV spots about their brand on national TV, that it’s OK to return to movie theaters. Circuits have gone to great lengths in their cleanliness COVID-19 safety protocols, and there have been no known cases around the world connected to contracting COVID at a movie theater. The message that movie theaters are safer than bars and restaurants has to be louder — because lawmakers like NY State Governor Andrew Cuomo just aren’t registering that. And exhibition can’t do this all on their own in financially promoting that message (do you hear me, studios??) in a big blast after months of being shutdown and facing liquidity problems.
Recently, Nordstrom tapped fashion social media influencers who communicated their experiences about how comfortable they felt returning to stores and shopping with peace of mind during the pandemic. It’s that type of out-of-the-box thinking that exhibition needs to send in their message that theaters are safe. People crowd beaches and lake fronts (we’ve all seen the pictures), and even though the virus reportedly isn’t as much of a threat outdoors, movie theaters are far from packing people and big practitioners of social distancing with checkboard seating and 25% auditorium restrictions.
Soon after all the big theater chains closed down due to the pandemic in mid-March, Nolan penned a piece in the The Washington Post, “Movie Theaters Are a Vital Part of American Social Life. They Will Need Our Help,” asking the U.S. government to remember the nation’s movie theaters and their workers in any plans for financial relief.

Msecure 3 5 7 – safely store sensitive information based. Wrote the five-time Oscar nominated filmmaker, “The movie business is about everybody: the people working the concession stands, running the equipment, taking tickets, booking movies, selling advertising and cleaning bathrooms in local theaters…a vital part of social life, providing jobs for many and entertainment for all,” adding “As a filmmaker, my work can never be complete without those workers and the audiences they welcome.”
Nolan also wrote back in March, “In addition to the help theater employees need from the government, the theatrical exhibition community needs strategic and forward-thinking partnership from the studios.”
Studios, exhibition can’t go at this alone.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (CNS) — People are returning to movie theaters in Orange County this weekend, with Regal Cinemas reopening its theaters at Irvine Spectrum Saturday and AMC opening its larger locations across the county — both with limited capacity to guard against further spread of the coronavirus.
Orange County was upgraded from the purple to the red tier in California's coronavirus monitoring system earlier this week. The move allowed for churches, theaters and other business to resume indoor operations, but with strict limits on capacity and other health measures in place.

Theaters, restaurants and churches are restricted to 25 percent capacity or 100 people, whichever is less. Museums, zoos and aquariums also may reopen indoor activities at 25 percent capacity. Shopping centers may expand from 25 percent capacity to half-capacity under the red tier, while gyms can reopen, but at 10 percent capacity.
The theater chains are instituting many other safety protocols as well.
Regal guests will be required to wear face masks at all times while in the auditoriums unless eating and drinking. Two empty seats will be maintained between groups, and the chain is 'increasing our fresh air intake by 50 percent - 100 percent above normal levels (which will help circulate more fresh air throughout auditoriums).'
Regal employees will undergo daily health screenings including temperature checks where mandated, will be required to wash hands every 30 to 60 minutes, and all employees will be required to wear masks.
Guests can purchase concessions with a mobile app while in the theater, but menu offerings have been reduced, and self-service condiment stands are closed.
Titles showing Saturday at the Irvine Spectrum were 'Tenet,' 'Unhinged,' 'The New Mutants,' 'The Personal History of David Copperfield' and 'Broken Hearts Gallery.' Icons8 5 6 5 r2 – free searchable icon app.

Gov. Gavin Newsom recently announced a four-tier color-coded system for tracking COVID-19 trends and determining when counties can move forward with business reopenings.
Orange County moved up this week from the most restrictive purple tier, which represents the areas with the most community spread of the virus, to the red tier.
In order to move out of a tier, there is a 21-day waiting period.
To get to the next tier -- orange -- the seven-day rate of residents testing positive for the coronavirus must be between 2% and 4.9%. It is currently at 4.2% in Orange County.
The county's daily case count per 100,000 people stands at 5.2. To get to the next level, it must be at 2% to 4.9%.
The change in the three-day average of hospitalized patients stands at -5%. The county has 34% of its intensive care units available and 62% of its ventilators available.

'We are expecting several shipments at the end of September,' Chau said. 'Be on the lookout for flu shot events in the community throughout the five districts.'
To observe social distancing, county officials will make the flu shots available on a walk-up and drive-thru basis, he said.
