Jax Jr. Cinemas Update
We would like to thank the community for all the nice messages and support.
The question we are asked most is "When are you reopening?" We are currently in a holding pattern given several factors beyond our control.
Covid continues to plague society in many ways. A good portion of movie goers do not feel comfortable returning to movie theaters. Movie companies such as Disney and Warner Brothers simultaneously release movies to their streaming platforms. Movies continue to have their release dates changed by months and in some cases a year. New releases are down considerably, which results in theaters playing movies for 4-8 weeks where they normally would play for 2-4 weeks. The industry reported a decline of 72% for this year's Box Office compared to 2019 reflecting many of these challenges.
Based on these factors and others, it makes sense to remain closed.
We are grateful to be part of such a great community for over 100 years and look forward to the future!
Thank you,
Jack Eames
