Cinemas were allowed to open when the Balearic Islands progressed to Phase 2 of the de-escalation program, but most decided to stay closed because capacity was restricted to just 30%.
Now that all of the Balearic Islands are in Phase 3 and capacity has been increased to 50%, cinemas are getting ready to screen a batch of new movie releases for customers.
The Aficine, Cinesa and Artesiete Group have confirmed they are opening between June 24 and July 8, which is when the movie premieres are scheduled to start up again.
Grupo Aficine says theatres such as Ocimax, Augusta, Rívoli, Manacor Cinema and some others will reopen on Wednesday June 24.
The Cinesa Rooms in the Mallorca Fashion Outlet, which is also known as Festival Park, is planning to open its doors that week too and Artesiete at FAN Mallorca has confirmed it will open on July 8.
All of the cinemas say making sure health and safety protocols are in place before they open is a priority.
"It is a closed space and everything has to be 100% controlled,” said an Artesiete spokesperson.
Only a dozen or so cinemas have reopened throughout Spain, but now that movie premiere dates are being confirmed, many more will be keen to get back in business.
Universal Pictures said on Wednesday that its first release of the summer on June 26, will be the comedy, ‘Personal Assistant’ which is also known as ‘The High Note’. It stars Dakota Johnson as a Personal Assistant who’s trying to make it as a Music Producer.
