If Movie Theaters Reopen, People Say These Steps Will Make Them Likely to Return

Notably, some of the public is less likely to frequent theaters under some new policies, such as requiring all moviegoers and employees to wear face masks: 36 percent said they’d be less likely to go to the movies in that case.

However, half of millennials and 44 percent of adults said enforcing mask wearing would make them more likely to return to the movies. 

Castel said that it will be “prudent” to continue to wear masks in public places. 

“Just because the doors open it doesn't mean you abandon these social distancing and safety measures that we've put in place,” she said.  

Overall, millennials, the age group that the Motion Picture Association says has the most frequent moviegoers, or those who see at least one movie in theaters each month, said they would be more comfortable attending movie theaters if they underwent each of the policies listed.
