Locally, theaters are taking precautions to keep moviegoers safe. The Grand Theater in Conroe has  Health Info tab on their website. One major change is there will be no cash accepted at the concession stand. If customers do not have a debit or credit card, they can exchange their cash for a gift card at Guest Services. The theater also requires masks in common areas and restrooms. Once seated, masks can be remove to enjoy food and beverages because social distancing will be enforced by the ticketing system which will add a two-seat gap between groups of customers.

No-one should be confined to their homes when there are perfectly fun and safe activities to be enjoyed outside of the house. The movie theater is one of the few fun ways to spend time with family or simply give an excuse to leave the house every once in a while.

There are so many other movies coming out and several movies that are yet to be announced, but by going online anyone can look up movies and see what and when they want to watch a movie. There are movies for all audiences, and enjoying a movie at a grand cinema with fresh popcorn and a group of friends is always the best way to enjoy a newly released movie.
