Select Cinemark locations are reopening with staggered showtimes to maximize social distancing. Moviegoers are invited to enjoy throwback films such as "Jurassic Park," "Back to the Future," and "Ghostbusters."

Face masks are mandatory for guests inside the theater and may only be removed for eating or drinking. The company is increasing the fresh air rate in its building HVAC systems by adding purge cycles and using MERV filters.

Cinemark implemented new technology to block seats adjacent to guests when they purchase a ticket.
