After being shuttered for more than a month, movie theaters in Tokyo are set to start reopening.
On May 22, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike outlined a road map for easing social distancing measures and business closures in the capital in three stages. Cinemas will start reopening in the second stage, which may begin as by the end of May.
Movie theaters in other parts of the country with fewer cases of coronavirus infections have already started to screen films, primarily older titles such as the 2016 film “Shin Godzilla,” which will show viewers what they’ve been missing by giving them a big-screen experience they can’t get at home.
