While a small number of moviehouses have begun reopening in recent weeks, including Chanute’s Roxy 4 Cinema, others such as Sterling Six Cinemas in Iola will remain closed because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“At this time we do not have a date to announce for the reopening,” reported Dan VanOrden, circuit general manager at B&B Theatres, which owns Sterling Six.
B&B operates 50 theaters across the country.
The motion picture industry remains one of the most adversely affected businesses because of the COVID-19 threat, with several highly anticipated movies delayed until later this fall, or pushed back to 2021.
A small number of films have been released, precipitating some cinemas to reopen their doors to limited crowds.
