And the theater promoted social distancing, constant hand hygiene and sanitation. Face masks weren’t required but encouraged. The theater said it would only show a number of older films. Megaplex announced it would reopen on June 18, which I wrote about for the Deseret News. But he admitted it’s still a long way from normal.
And so far, Andersen had nothing but praise for how his theater chain has responded during the pandemic. So I spoke with Blake Andersen, Megaplex Theatres president, in a phone interview about the movie theater and how its experiment to reopen during the pandemic has gone. But standing there - in an empty lobby that would normally be bustling with the electric energy of a Saturday night - it made me wonder if Megaplex, which opened its doors during the pandemic, has found any success with its decision to reopen early - ahead of the major players. And I probably won’t until the pandemic ends, or until there’s a vaccine. I’m not ready to see a movie in a theater yet. The rolling audio of upcoming movie trailers lingered about like haunting memories of what once was, and what is to come, all at once.Ī touch of sadness filled me. A “Mulan” poster hung on the back wall like a framed painting in a haunted house. I stood in the lobby and looked around to see a closed food court, normally bustling with hustling employees cooking meals. It was a smell I had not experienced since March.
A waft of popcorn, salt and butter crashed on me like a wave. SOUTH JORDAN - I walked into the Megaplex Theatres at the District in South Jordan on a recent Saturday night to feel a sense of normalcy.
