On Sunday, Illinois governor JB Pritzker ordered businesses hosting more than 50 people to close effective tonight. The same day, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti ordered movie theaters in their respective cities to close in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Prior to theater closures, AMC, Regal, Cineplex, Arclight and Alamo Drafthouse chains imposed limits on sales as a safety precaution. AMC Theatres, which has 661 locations in North America, and Regal both announced on March 13 that they would be reducing their maximum capacity by at least 50% due to the outbreak. AMC said the policy would last through April 30.
Cinemark, which owns the Davenport, Iowa, theaters, has yet to announce any alterations or closings, and the Davenport movie theater remains open as of Monday night.
