WIVB-TV reports Program Director Ray Barker says the theatre’s soft opening, will be on April 23, he says the theatre will see how the public responds to the iconic theatre being open again.
If enough people make it to the movies, they’ll keep the theatre open. If they don’t sell enough tickets after the reopening, they’ll go back to offering just private screenings.
Barker says removing the 11 p.m. curfew on theaters will help especially on big movie premier weekends.
“We’re excited because there’s just some films that are better enjoyed at 9:30 p.m.,” he said. “We have fans of horror, science fiction, and cult movies that usually works much better at 9:30 p.m.”
