If so, what’s playing?

I kept hearing Tenet and Mulan we’re going to be the first major releases as things reopened in July, but they’ve both been pushed back to at least mid August.

The one where I live isn’t open yet, but the one in the next town over from me is and they’re showing movies like Jaws along with Jurassic Park.

In Baltimore - no movie theaters are open. There is a drive-in in Essex called "Bengies" which is open. It's an experience. The owner is a character. He give a huge speech at the beginning of the night about the rules. There are a LOT of rules - LOTS AND LOTS OF RULES!!! Most are ridiculous but if you violate one an employee comes over and threatens to kick you out, or actually kicks you out.

It's fun to go once just to experience the insanity but after that - pass.

Not yet, but to help me recreate the movie theater experience at home, my wife and daughter sit behind me, kick the back of my chair, talk through the movie, and play on their phones.

Same here. Indoor dining was set to return Monday, now it won’t.

Way it’s going, next new movie here will be when that Young Sheldon kid is old enough to play James Bond.
