In Singapore, where theaters re-opened in mid-July, operators of large auditoria of more than 300 seats will be allowed to sell up to 150 tickets per hall in three blocks of 50 patrons each, starting from Thursday. Smaller capacity venues will be allowed to sell up to 50% of their seats. Since July 13 all Singapore cinemas had to observe a capacity limit of 50 tickets per theater, and other safe distancing and hygiene measures.
The closures and capacity restrictions badly hurt Singapore cinema operators. Golden Village, the country’s largest chain reported that admissions fell from 4.1 million in the first half of 2019 to just 1 million between January and June 2020. Ticket prices softened fractionally and revenues dropped from S$44 million to $11 million, parent company Orange Sky Golden Harvest said in a regulatory filing.
NSW Arts Minister Don Harwin said: “for workers across the full spectrum of the performing arts – from box office staff to ushers, from technicians and roadies to the artists – this change means more jobs.” He added that audiences can now “enjoy experiences we have all missed so much during the pandemic.”
Asian cinemas are reaping the benefits of implementing far stricter safety measures when they reopened as customers felt much more comfortable and relaxed far quicker than the US and UK having far fewer safety measures that will take much longer for the majority to feel confident
