Deadline reports that Governor Phil Murphy has ruled that movie theaters can reopen on Friday, September 4th.
Recently, California made a similar decision regarding San Francisco and other locations in the Bay Area. The theaters were closed in the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic.
Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York, has not yet set a reopening timeline for movie theaters. New York bowling alleys, gyms, and shopping malls have been allowed to reopen thus far.
Murphy said that movie theater audiences may not exceed 150 guests or 25% capacity.
