Cinemark at Universal CityWalk Is Now Open With an Eclectic Array of Classics
As we were strolling through Universal CityWalk this morning, we noticed that the big Cinemark Theater there has reopened. Not only is it wonderful to see the cinema coming back to live but the Universal Orlando located has cobbled together an incredible list of much-loved films to open with.
Let’s take a look!
As you can see from the image above, you’ll find some awesome throwbacks including:
- Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
- Back to the Future
- Blade Runner
- Get Out
- Ghostbusters
- The Invisible Man
- Jaws
- The Lego Movie
- Mean Girls
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Space Jam
- Wonder Woman
Most of the films are part of Cinemark’s Comeback Classic promotion where guests can enjoy a film for $5 per adult or $3 per child.
For visitors to Cinemark’s website, they have posted a list of Health and Safety measures that the company is taking for the well-being of guests and employees.
This measures include:
THOROUGHLY SANITIZED AT LEAST EVERY 30 MINUTES:
- • Concession stands, kitchens, restaurants and bars, including countertops, food-prep areas, drink stations, napkin dispensers and check-out areas.
- • Restrooms are extensively disinfected every morning and sanitized every 30 minutes during operating hours, including door handles, toilets, handles, sinks, countertops, soap dispensers, faucets and baby-changing stations.
- • Other high-touch areas throughout the theatre, including door handles, handrails, self-ticketing kiosks and box-office countertops.
AUDITORIUMS DISINFECTED EVERY MORNING: Each morning, all auditoriums are extensively disinfected using pressurized sprayer equipment to reach all seats, handrails, armrests, tables, footrests and cup holders.
SEATS SANITIZED BEFORE EVERY MOVIE: Any seat that is occupied will be sanitized again before the next showtime, as well as adjacent seats, handrails and children’s booster seats. For extra assurance, seat wipe dispensers are available for any guest who wishes to re-clean their seat.
AMPLE SUPPLY OF HAND SANITIZER & SEAT WIPES: Hand sanitizers are being placed at the box office and active concession stand registers. Seat wipe dispensers have also been added, centrally located in hallways outside the auditoriums.
IMPROVING OVERALL AIR QUALITY: Cinemark has added a morning purge cycle that increases the total volume of fresh, outside air flowing into our theatres. Additionally, we are now utilizing our supply fans constantly while occupied, allowing us to bring even more fresh air from outdoors to our guests day and night.
EXPANDED USE OF HIGH-EFFICIENCY FILTERS: The cinema is now using vacuums equipped with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters identified to be effective in trapping at least 99.97 percent of microscopic particles, including COVID-19.
The Guest Experience
GUEST SAFETY CHECKLIST
Cinemark also highlights some of the ways you can help.
REDUCED AUDITORIUM CAPACITIES & STAGGERED SHOWTIMES: For the time being, overall auditorium capacities are being reduced for your safety and to maintain compliance with all local and state guidelines. When you purchase movie tickets at Cinemark, you’ll notice that the teather automatically blocks the seats adjacent to your party. In addition, they are staggering showtimes to allow more time for guests to exit and prevent overcrowding in restrooms, halls and lobbies. This also allows employees more time to clean and sanitize between movies. Guests are encouraged to practice physical distancing when entering and exiting the auditorium.
CONTACTLESS TICKETING: We encourage you to purchase tickets online, which will allow for a more contactless in-theatre experience. If you prefer to purchase tickets in a theatre, please consider using a contactless-enabled credit card or your preferred mobile wallet payment type. Guests who purchase tickets online via our website or app (or a third-party provider such as Fandango or Atom Tickets) are no longer required to also carry a printed ticket. Simply show your ticket confirmation QR code to the usher at the ticket podium to scan. Guests purchasing tickets at the box office or theatre kiosk will still receive a printed ticket, however it no longer needs to be handed to our ushers for tearing.
WELLNESS OF GUESTS: Any guest who feels unwell, has a fever, and/or has any COVID-19-like symptom is asked to please refrain from entering the theatre, and instead, request a contactless refund online, in Cinemark’s app or by calling 1-800-CINEMARK.
FACE MASKS REQUIRED: For the safety of our guests, employees and communities, Cinemark will require that face masks be worn throughout our theatres. Masks may be removed when eating and drinking inside the auditorium.
CASH EXCHANGE: To help reduce potential contact between cash and food-handling areas, cash payments will not be accepted for snack purchases. However, each theatre will have a designated area where cash will be accepted, and gift cards will be available. As always, gift cards are redeemable at the concession stand.
FOOD HANDLING & PROTECTIVE WEAR: Employees are now provided with facial masks and gloves to wear while working. Frequent handwashing and changing of gloves are also required.
PHYSICAL DISTANCING: Guests and employees are asked to practice physical distancing by maintaining at least 6 feet of space from other guests and employees. Physical distancing markers have been placed on floors as a reminder, and we will continually monitor overall traffic flow and adjust procedures as needed to alleviate congestion.
PLEXIGLASS SCREENS ADDED: In areas of the theatre where proper physical distancing between employees and guests isn’t otherwise possible, such as concession stand registers, interior box offices and usher podiums, plexiglass barrier screens may be used for added safety.
SEALED FOR YOUR PROTECTION: Self-serve condiments have been replaced with individually sealed packets or containers, which are available upon request from our cashiers. This includes ketchup, mustard, relish and mayo. Additionally, only individually wrapped straws and plastic cutlery are being used in our theatres.
