Previously, you had to make a visit to the cinema is really a lot of thought. Now, however, the Corona pandemic also altered our time in the cinema. Nationally, the first light houses in the game already opened, including some in the state of Hesse, Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein. From the 25.5. movie theaters in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania should follow, in the middle of the week, in Rhineland-Palatinate, and on Thursday, 28.5., then, in Saxony-Anhalt. For Saturday, the re-opening in North is planned-Westphalia cinemas. But how a movie looks like in the future?
Tickets
To the cinema, from the friendly assistant at the checkout, the room plan to show and calmly consider where you want to sit: now, That is probably only once in the past. Instead, the cinemas, ask your customers to buy tickets online. Also in the cinema itself, there will be as few as possible inter-actions. Cinemaxx managing Director Frank Thomsen explains: “At the entrance of a contactless ticket inspection is carried out. On all funds – cinema cashier and catering counters – can be paid with card or contactless.”
Desire places
On the edge, in the middle or the last row? Many have favorite places to sit in the cinema with pleasure. However, the prescribed distances to be observed, are not all of the seats in the room available. Couples and friends are allowed to sit in the common, while side by side, however, it is to be observed, then according to current rules 1.5 meters distance, the next visitors. This means that a plurality of places to stay next to, in front of and behind a free and not for other guests may be. Seats are permanently assigned.
Corona
Viruses – so the inanimate creatures work
As the cinema rules the bookings exactly, has not yet been clarified anywhere. “Between the Seats, the Two blocks can be booked online, are blocked seats for the required distance and remain free,” stresses about Thomsen of Cinemaxx. According to Christine Berg from the Executive Board, HDF cinema card systems could be modified so that the System makes a reservation automatically, with the surrounding places. This could allow a slightly more flexible Seating.
The cinema hope, however, that these distance rules once again change. Because if it remains at 1.5 meters distance, the utilization of a room according to the associations of HDF Kino and AG Kino, a maximum of 20 or 25 percent. The majority of the places left blank: “If two places are occupied, you need to 12 stay free,” says mountain. According to the Christian Bräuer of the AG Kino, a Meter would be a distance – like in Austria – an improvement, because then at least each row could be occupied. “Then a chess-Board system would be conceivable in which, although any number of places but the offset, and not directly in a row are occupied.”
Food for the nerves
Belongs to the traditions of a cinema visit also the catering for the many: The one treat yourself to baked Nachos, the other want to grab a giant bag of Popcorn, while others make a toast with a beer or Prosecco. You may also continue. Because at the Bars and counters of the cinemas there should be how to buy had drinks and Snacks. However, it will be because of the hygiene rules similar to those in super markets and other shops a little differently than in the past. This means in most cases: With distance and the mouth-nose cover or wait in line and order. The staff will often stand behind a plexiglass window. Maybe Nachos and co. will be presented in the future with a small cover.
Going to the toilet
“Excuse me, can I pass, please?” So far, over shoved to the other guests in the series, if you wanted to go to the toilet. Now, there will be significantly fewer guests in the same series, if at all. The toilets can continue to be used. However, you have to sit up, then when you Leave the course, usually the mouth, nose and protection.
Masks
Speaking of masks: If you have to wear during the movie, the face mask, is not regulated according to the mountain nor in all of the länder, clearly. At Cinemaxx, however, it means that the mask is only obligatory in – and outlet in the cinemas as well as for toilet visit during the performances is. “As soon as in the room of the assigned seat was taken, must be taken off the mask.”
Behind-the-Scenes
Cinema operators are now organising different than in the past. Especially in larger companies, the movies are starting puts more time than before to adjust for the influx of guests. It will also be cleaned more often, especially doorknobs and handles. Probably the doors to the halls will be for the time the inlet is opened, so that not everyone needs to touch it. In some cinemas the visitors maybe more than before, by about a A and an output set.
