Robinsons Movieworld said it was assuring moviegoers of a worry-free and enjoyable movie experience as it ramps up its COVID-19 safety measures before its reopening on Nov. 24.
"We took extra measures to ensure that our customers can confidently step into Robinsons cinemas and not have to worry about their safety," said Arlene Magtibay, Senior Vice President and Business Unit General Manager of Robinsons Malls.
The popular cinema chain has partnered with UV Care, a leading brand in UV-C sterilizing technology that is lab-tested and proven to kill the virus that causes COVID-19.
With its medical-grade H13 HEPA filters, UV Care air purifiers remove the tiniest particles including droplets that carry viruses in the air.
"We’re introducing HEPA filters inside our cinemas to ensure patrons can once again enjoy the best movie experience in the safest way possible," Magtibay said.
Robinsons Movieworld will also implement contactless and cashless transactions as it welcomes its patrons back. Moviegoers must show their COVID-19 vaccination cards before buying tickets and contact tracing forms will also be provided via QR code.
Body temperature check will also be required before entering the cinema, where hand sanitizers will also be provided at every entrance. Seating will also be socially distanced even for patrons from the same household.
Moviegoers should also wear their face masks while inside the cinema while face shields may be removed temporarily during screening time.
To further ensure the safety of patrons, a no-eating or snacking rule inside the cinema will be strictly implemented, and food and drinks will not be allowed. Theaters will also be scrubbed clean, disinfected, and sanitized every day and in between screenings.
Patrons will also be reminded of cough and sneeze etiquette, proper waste disposal and other health practices before screening time. A designated health and safety officer will also be deployed at every screening.
