Bay Area movie theaters announce reopening dates

Wednesday, February 24, 2021
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- As Bay Area counties start to enter the red reopening tier, some movie theaters are planning to open their doors and welcome folks back in.

Under California's red tier guidelines, movie theaters can reopen at 25% capacity or 100 guests, whichever number is fewer. So far in the Bay Area, only Marin and San Mateo counties have joined the red tier. However, Napa, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties all look likely to move into the red tier as early as Tuesday.
