KINGSTON, ONT. --
An independent Kingston movie theatre owner says the theatre will be popping popcorn and welcoming back guests as soon as they’re allowed, after the community helped raise $100,000 to keep the cinema’s doors open during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Like other independent theatres in the province, The Screening Room has had a difficult year under COVID-19.
Owner Wendy Huot told CTV News it has been one of mixed emotions and questions.
“When would we be able to reopen? Would we be able to reopen? Will there be a future for the movie theatre business? This year has been wild both emotionally and financially,” she said.
