Announcement of plans for reopening Odeon Cinemas

The biggest movie theater chain in the country, Odeon, has declared it will start reopening theaters on Saturday, July 4, with updated health and safety procedures in place. The first ten Odeon theaters to reopen will be in England, with another 88 UK theaters scheduled to do so by July 16.

The organization has collaborated with the UK Cinema Association and UK Government to bring improved health and safety safeguards to each site so that patrons can enjoy the Odeon safer cinema experience in the most controlled setting. These safety precautions consist of:

“We are thrilled to confirm that our UK cinemas will begin reopening from July 4,” said Carol Welch, Managing Director UK & IRE. Every step of our guests’ trip has been meticulously planned, and we’ve implemented safety measures that will allow our highly trained employees to deliver a controlled and safer cinema experience to every visitor.

“New precautions include social segregation in our auditoriums and foyers, heightened cleaning protocols, and a requirement that tickets be purchased online in advance. We appreciate the patience of our coworkers and visitors during this time, and we look forward to welcoming them back for more big-screen entertainment and a secure moviegoing experience.

Filmgoers can once again order tickets for the big screen starting on June 25 after three months of tiny screen home entertainment, online games, and continuous remote scrolling. Following the reopening, a variety of recent and remastered classics will be shown at ODEON, including 1917, Sonic the Hedgehog and Onwards, Little Women, Bad Boys for Life, Dirty Dancing, and The Greatest Showman, which was re-released and enhanced in 4K for its 40th anniversary.

Mulan and Tenet, along with other brand-new movies like Dream builders and Unhinged, will debut at the end of July, marking the beginning of the summer’s major blockbusters.
