After seven months of dark screens, movie theaters in most of New York State, except for those with high cases of COVID-19, can re-open their doors as of October 23.

Theaters can open at 25-percent capacity in areas with “positivity rates of less than 2 percent on a 14-day average and do not have any cluster zones.”

In the Hudson Valley, Rockland, Orange and Greene counties were not permitted to re-open due to the number of COVID-19 cases.

State guidance on the reopening of theaters includes the following conditions:

• Masks will be required at all times except when seated and eating or drinking.

• Assigned seating will be required in all theaters.

• Social distancing between parties will be required at all times.

• Additional staffing will be required to control occupancy, traffic and seating to ensure compliance.

• Enhanced air filtration, ventilation and purification standards must be met by theaters.
