GURNEE, IL — Gurnee Mills Cinema has joined other area movie theaters in reopening this week, now with increased health and safety measures in place. According to the theater's website, many of its services — including its concession stand — have gone virtual. Moviegoers may now purchase tickets and order snacks online before arriving at the theater. Tickets and concessions can still be purchased on-site. The theater, predictably, requires that its patrons practice social distancing and wear masks at all times except when eating or drinking. Marcus Theatres also offers refunds for customers who stay home because they are experiencing symptoms of an illness. In addition to ensuring patrons practice health and safety measures, Marcus Theatres said that it will screen employees for symptoms of the coronavirus before each shift. Theater employees will also frequently clean high-touch areas, practice social distancing and distribute hand sanitizer throughout the theater, according to the website.
