Three days after announcing plans to reduce theater attendance by 50%, Regal Cinemas announced that it will be closing all theater locations, effective March 17. The company announced the news via social media, noting that “All theatres will remain closed until further notice.”

The dramatic shift comes amid declining attendance over fears of the rapid spread of COVID-19. It also follows moves by a number of cities and states that have blocked large gatherings and all non-essential travel in order to encourage “social distancing.” The move was no doubt as much an attempt to protect public health as it is recognition that staying open simple isn’t feasible at the moment.
