Honestly I'm super pissed there are even open movie theaters to release movies into The studios are at fault, the distributors are at fault, but how are the movie theaters themselves not the primary culpable parties here

Notably, *mine* isn't open! They know it would be unconscionable!

I don't know if you could do it profitably, but it does seem to me that movie theaters would be one of the better places to reopen, actually: you have big spaces where people already typically distance, and you can keep your mask on and not talk.

Movie theaters already make almost all of their actual profit margin from concessions and you can't keep your mask on and also eat and drink

Also, the calculation for what qualifies as safe social distancing becomes a lot dicier when you're inside an enclosed space with recirculating air

Plus, you know, you're sitting on a surface that hundreds of people have sat on before you.

Yeah, though that's not a particularly common mode of infection here, plus theaters could be required to actually wipe everything down.

I've worked food service, and while I can safely say I took all my sanitary duties seriously, I would also say that anyone willing to bet their lives on every public surface being sanitized that thoroughly is hopelessly naive.

Fair - ultimately, though, I think that the risks of transmission from a seat are very very low, and there are no high-touch surfaces in a place where only one person is touching a surface for hours at a time.

Yeah I'd say the evidence is pretty strong now that surface transmission is mostly irrelevant and the businesses advertising full daily wipedowns are wasting time and labor on "sanitation theatre"

My concern is that when you're sitting in a movie theater you're sitting in the same place for two hours in a space with predictable, static circulation patterns That's how you get stuff like the Korean call center where one whole side of the room got infected

(But, notably, the other side of the room all escaped infection, which is actually pretty strong evidence that surface transmission etc is not the issue)

Right. And like - I don't think it's so safe that I'd go to the movies if they were open here. But I'd go to the movies before I went to a bar.
