Malco to begin reopening movie theaters in 3 states

Malco Theaters plans to reopen six movie cinemas that were closed due to the new coronavirus outbreak in Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky.

The Memphis-based cinema chain said the six theatres are set to reopen on Monday. The theatres had been closed for safety reasons as a response to the virus outbreak.

Theatres set to reopen next week are located in Ridgeland, Olive Branch, Southaven and Tupelo, Mississippi; Smyrna, Tennessee; and Owensboro, Kentucky.

Additional locations are scheduled to reopen each week, through July 16, Malco said.

The family-owned chain operates 35 movie theatres in the South.
