Cineplex won't open movie theatres on Friday as most of Ontario enters Stage 3
Cineplex will not be opening movie theatres in Ontario on Friday, as most of the province enters Stage 3 of reopening.
On Wednesday, Cineplex spokesperson Sarah Van Lange told Daily Hive in a statement that the company is not “in a position” to open their theatres, even though they welcome the news.
“The news that Ontario is entering Stage 3 is certainly welcome by the team here at Cineplex! We are still reviewing what’s being proposed by the province, so as a result we aren’t in a position to open our theatres in Ontario on Friday,” she said.

In the next stage, gatherings will increase to 50 indoors and 100 outdoors, as dine-in restaurants, bars, gyms, fitness centres, live shows, performing arts centres, casinos, concert venues, recreational facilities, team sports, fundraisers, fairs, festivals or open houses, and tour and guide services can reopen.
