After several semesters of scaled back operations, Cornell Cinema has returned to its pre-COVID capacity, with successful screenings occurring through Labor Day weekend.
Besides, after a year of constantly streaming during quarantine, how many people will actually want to keep watching new films at home when the option of going back to theaters becomes safer and more widely available?
Cinemapolis, Ithaca’s beloved independent movie theater, is coming out with a reimagined cinema experience. Starting on March 12, movie lovers will be able to book one of five private rooms with up to 15 guests. Guests can preorder snacks and drinks from the concession stand to enhance their experience.
While big cinema chains across the country struggle with covid restrictions and delayed releases, Ithaca’s own Cinemapolis has been screening films for patrons to watch at home and has moved live panels and discussions online.
Even though Tompkins County is one of the few counties in the area given this privilege, theaters will remain in their virtual or closed state.
