‘New Mutant’ Tickets Now on Sale
By George Robbins
Now that theaters are beginning to reopen in at least some parts of the world, they are doing all they can to adjust to the new rules. Theaters have now been given specified guidelines that they must follow in order to even be allowed to open up individually again. However, this does not mean that every theater will actually be allowed to open even if they do meet the guideline standards. Many theaters are still trying to open, but local governments still believe them to be a huge health hazard since so many people will be sitting together in an enclosed space for hours at a time. Even if theaters end up being only half capacity, they are still enclosed spaces with a lot of people in them and half capacity is just the standard.
Depending on the number of screens and seats a theater has, the amount of people who will be allowed to enter may vary per movie theater. That aside, movie theater owners are still trying to figure out exactly what it is that they will be showing people when they open. The point of even going to a movie theater is just to see new films as they release, so of course this is their “product.” New content is kind of hard to come by these days, so many theaters have resorted to showing older films, or in some cases, movies that were in theaters when the pandemic began may make a comeback. However, there may just be a couple of movies that we will be seeing soon in theaters that could turn this whole situation around, at least that’s what theater owners are hoping for.
One of the biggest movies on people’s minds right now is the newest Christopher Nolan movie, ‘Tenet.’ The mystery surrounding the movie has catapulted the film onto just about every movie-goers must watch list. This movie has been marketed and hyped up ever since the pandemic just began and Nolan believes it may be the film that ends up saving theaters because it will create a huge drive for people to want to go to the movies. This is something that Warner Bros. has been attempting to do for a while now and within the next couple of weeks it will release domestically and internationally. Wherever theaters will be opened up, the movie will get a chance to be shown to the public. There is another even longer awaited film that should be releasing soon as well, ‘The New Mutants.’
‘The New Mutants‘ is a film that shows a group of young mutants trying to survive some kind of dangerous situation set in the universe of the X-Men. This is an exciting moment for a lot of people because the film has been in the works for a very long time and due to the acquisition of the film’s rights by Disney, it was delayed. When the pandemic first began, the movie was only a couple weeks away from a theatrical release. People want this film to be a success because it could possibly be seen as an entry point for the X-Men in the MCU. If the film doesn’t do well, then it will just be seen as a standalone film, but after all this time, some are hoping it works out. Advanced ticket purchases for the film actually became available today and we will see the film having its official theatrical release on August 28th.
