Lynchburg will see its theater at River Ridge open on that date, with Christiansburg and Roanoke having their Regal theaters open a week later on May 21.

In order to keep its customers safe, Regal Theaters will require moviegoers to wear a face mask at all times, unless eating, and sit two empty seats apart from other groups to maintain social distancing.

Auditorium capacities will be reduced to 50% to meet state mandate requirements.

While Regal is starting to open its theaters, Roanoke’s two AMC theaters have already been open and are open three days a week on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Similar to Regal, AMC requires moviegoers to wear a mask at all times unless eating, and seating capacities are limited to meet state and local mandate requirements.
