Missing out on sitting inside a movie theater? Regal announced plans that they will be reopening their theaters on Friday, July 10. The chain who owns four theaters in Wichita has had all locations closed sinced March.

The announcement was made on their webpage earlier today.

Included in their announcement were the steps and precautions they would take to make sure all employees were monitored.

For the auditorium itself, these are noteworthy:

  • Where required by state or county mandate, auditorium capacities will be reduced to 50%.
  • Our reservation system will maintain two empty seats between groups (1 seat at recliner locations) to maintain proper social distancing throughout the movie.
  • At theatres where performances are non-reserved, you will be requested to leave two seats between groups.
  • Group sizes will only be limited where required by a state or county mandate.
