The first theater was a local theater which showed Aliens (1986) for Friday the 13th. The people working the concession stands all wore latex gloves, popcorn refills were handled by handing out entirely new buckets, and people were encouraged to spread out in the theater as much as possible.

Earlier today, I went to an AMC theater to see King Kong (1933). They basically acted as if nothing were going on. Drinks were out of a self-serve vending machine. Straws and lids were in reach of everyone. Even the White Castle that I went to earlier this week had the condiments and such moved behind the counter.

Both movies were fairly well attended. It was just kinda odd to see the local repurposed theater acting so cautious while the major theater chain is like, "Meh. That'll be $14.50 for the popcorn and drink. Lids are over there."

Great movies, btw.

They already showed Friday the 13th as part of their October lineup.

Makes sense, not all companies have enacted the safety proto-calls yet.

They should have been playing the Halloween movies in October. Friday the 13th is Friday the 13th time.

They showed Halloween in 2017, A Nightmare on Elm Street in 2018, and Friday the 13th in 2019.
