Although movie studios have been releasing new films directly to consumers for on-demand home viewing during COVID-19, movie theaters are preparing to open their doors once again and Fandango is offering a helping hand with its theater app. The ticketing company released a guide that offers a roundup of information for over 100 movie theater chains, including their cleaning policies and social distancing seating maps.'
To decrease uncertainty, Fandango is helping moviegoers make a confident return to the theater with its easy-to-consult guides. Since all venues will be at different stages and introducing different protocols as they reopen, the guide offers helpful search filters so that users can get information by location, instructional videos and more.
