Mars Theatre returns with new releases on big screen, but limited seating due to COVID

Hollywood has long suffered from the drought of large new movies, making movie theaters scrambling to find ways to stay open and attract audiences.

Since March, the historic Mars Theater in Springfield has been showing some of the more popular old movies to the audience, which particularly appeals to them.

Allison Newberry, director of the Mars Theater, said: “We are still open every Friday and Saturday night.” “In September, every weekend we will have another Tom Cruise (Tom Cruise). We made the movie "Through Autumn" together, and then in October, we launched Halloween favorites, such as'Beetlejuice,'Hocus Pocus','Nightmare before Christmas'. Of course, we showed some holiday favorites, such as " "Elves", "Christmas Holidays" and "Polar Express"."

The process of watching classic movies on the big screen is very interesting, but the Mars Theater is happy to finally re-screen some newly released movies, starting with "Wonder Woman 1984" and "Tom Hanks Western" (Tom Hanks Western), the world" This month.

In February, the Mars Theater will screen the romantic date night movies "Valentine's Day" and "Notebook", but will then replay the new movie, starring Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman "Mar Reney's Black Background".

Newberry said of the film: "It received a lot of criticism and praise during Black History Month."

"Marrene is actually from Georgia. She was born in Columbus and died in Rome, and is considered the "mother of the blues." It is definitely related to our historical theater and our live music performances."

In addition to the new movies, Mars Theatre also plans to reschedule some cancelled live events, starting with comedian/podcast Andy Gross on March 27th. Other live performances are scheduled in summer and early fall, so please continue to check its website.

It is recommended to wear a mask, but you do not need to wear a mask during the screening. The number of seats is limited to 100. Therefore, it is also recommended to buy pre-sale tickets online.

With the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, audience attendance is not always high, but Newberry is happy to provide opportunities for locals to watch movies in a way that distances themselves from society.

Newbury said: "This has been a difficult year, but they have just passed "Save Our Stage" in the last COVID relief measures that Congress has just passed. "We hope not only ourselves, but also many other small Local theaters can take advantage of some of the lost revenue by getting some COVID relief. I think these small theaters in certain rural communities are prosperous in these theaters. Many of them have to shut down and definitely want to do things differently.

"We definitely still face challenges. The film industry is new, showing films in theaters and streaming them on the same day. I think how this will affect the cinema industry remains to be seen. This is a guarantee for the film studios, but I hope People will still come out to support their local theater."
