Moviegoers will have to wait a little longer before watching their favorites films on the big screen again.

The Cinema Exhibitors Association of the Philippines (CEAP) said it is not yet opening its doors to movie patrons this weekend even if Metro Manila has been downgraded to a looser level of lockdowns.

“We know that you are all excited as we are to watch on the big screen. However, we must do our due diligence by coordinating with the LGUs where our cinemas are located. This is to ensure that we comply with their detailed guidelines,” the group said in a statement Friday (October 15).

CEAP said it is also coordinating with other stakeholders for movies that will be screened in theaters.

“We will be seeing each other again very soon to enjoy the latest movies and blockbusters that we may have missed,” the group said.

Current guidelines state that movie houses must enforce a one seat apart rule for moviegoers and eating will be prohibited – this is to avoid viewers from lifting or removing their face masks.
