If you’re looking forward to enjoying some popcorn and seeing a movie on the big screen, you’ll still have to wait a bit longer.

While the idea of opening movie theatres was included in Manitoba's draft plan for Phase Three, Public Health officials have decided to hold off.

General Manager of the Countryfest Community Cinema Ron Suchoplas explains that while they can’t reopen the theatres at this time, they are continuing to sell concession snacks through curbside pick-up.

“We started opening up Friday and Saturday nights. We tried a couple of Sundays but they are pretty slow.”

Right now cinema staff are working to develop safety measures, installing plexiglass shields, and buying masks.

Ron says he’s looking forward to fully opening once it’s safe to do so.
