Showcase Cinemas to Open Nine Massachusetts Cinemas on August 28

Showcase Cinemas, the U.S. division of global giant National Amusements, has announced plans to open nine of their Massachusetts theaters on Friday, August 28.

Showcase has already opened locations in Warwick and Providence Place, Rhode Island and Springdale, Ohio. On the 28th, Showcase cinemas in Dedham, Revere, Randolph, North Attleboro, Foxboro, Blackstone Valley, Lowell, Woburn, and Chestnut Hill (all in Massachusetts) will likewise open their doors. Private cinema rentals are also available. All of Showcase’s open locations will operate under the chain’s “Be Showcase Safe” program, which includes among its measures:

  • Installation of a new bi-polar ionization air-purifying systems and MERV 13 HVAC air filters
  • Reduced auditorium capacity
  • Social distancing within theaters
  • Increased and enhanced auditorium cleaning between shows and in high-touch areas
  • Required masks for patrons and employees, and required gloves for employees engaging in food service
  • Social distancing markets
  • Hand sanitizing stations
  • Temperature check and symptoms screening for employees before each shift
  • New contactless payment options and food/beverage/ticket pre-order are available through showcasecinemas.com and the Showcase app
  • Increasing the time between showings to clean auditoriums

More information on “Be Showcase Safe” can be found here.

“During the last few months we have worked with our industry partners to re-envision our Showcase customer experience to make health and safety our main focus,” said Mark Malinowski, vice president of global marketing. “We are calling our program Be Showcase Safe and are strongly encouraging our customers to work together with our employees and follow these new health and safety protocols as we are working toward the same goal—a safe and fun movie-going experience!”

Cinemark Q3 Earnings Reports: CEO Mark Zoradi Speaks on “Dynamic Theatrical Windows,” the Success of Private Rentals

Many of the questions asked of Cinemark CEO Mark Zoradi during this morning’s quarterly earnings call were about streaming and theatrical exclusivity—leading the CEO to offer some updates on their evolving windows policy as well as clarify other points about the chain’s status moving into the fourth quarter of 2020.

Cinemark, Zoradi announced, will join AMC in playing upcoming Universal and Focus releases The Croods: A New Age , Freaky , and Let Him Go when they open in theaters this month. Cineworld, owner of Regal, the country’s second largest chain, has made no announcements about reopening the bulk of their theaters in the coming weeks, though none of the handful of Regal theaters open in NY and CA list showtimes for Focus Features’ ...

Come Play ‘s marketing footprint has been respectable for a non-major studio release (although Focus is parented by Universal). Social media metrics are modest, but the film has generated over 8 million views from its official trailer page on YouTube since debuting in late August. Current models suggest it should outperform fellow genre pic The Empty Man , which bowed to lukewarm results ...
