After being closed for the past 16 months, Landmark’s Bethesda Row Cinema could reopen in August, according to a company spokesperson.
Movie theaters across Maryland closed in March 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most theaters in Montgomery County reopened in late May, when the county lifted the nearly all pandemic restrictions, allowing theaters to operate at full capacity.
Landmark’s three theaters in the greater Washington area Bethesda Row Cinema, Atlantic Plumbing Cinema and E Street Cinema have remained closed.
However, in a media email blast on Tuesday, Landmark stated that one or more of the D.C.-area theaters could open by Aug. 13.

Landmark’s Bethesda Row Cinema, shuttered for the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, plans to reopen, according to a spokeswoman. But the reopening date is not yet known.
Movie theaters across Maryland closed on March 16, 2020, as part of an executive order by Gov. Larry Hogan that closed multiple types of businesses.
Hogan later lifted some restrictions on theaters in September, although Montgomery County kept its restrictions in place. Hogan has since lifted all restrictions on movie theaters.
