What Does Cinemark's Reopening Plan Look Like?

If you live in Texas, chances are you live near a Cinemark. Though we've got plenty of AMC Theaters, Studio Movie Grill's, and Alamo Drafthouse's in Texas, Cinemark, which was founded in Texas, is the movie theater that dominates the state. That means any news about the chain will be big news for Texas denizens. That's especially true when it concerns plans for the theater chain to reopen its doors in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. After months of closure, Cinemark will be reopening five Dallas/Fort Worth locations on Friday, June 19 (including Cinemark West Plano) while planning to open further locations each Friday from there.

Luckily, it's doing gangbusters so far, including this past weekend where it made $1.7 million at its small amount of locations (which includes a $16,121 per theater average, indicating excellent attendance), so expansion should be coming quickly.
