Limited capacity – maximum of 50 per screen, with social distancing also in place in foyers and toilets.

Enhanced cleaning regimes – including screen protection at all customer touchpoints. Sanitisation stations in foyers

Reduced showtimes – only one movie will start and end at a time to facilitate social distancing and extra cleaning.

Mark Anderson, Director of Omniplex Cinemas commented, “The re-opening of cinemas in Ireland, after nearly 6 months closed, is a seminal moment for cinema lovers. We’re delighted to start re-opening our doors next week with a selection of brand-new movies. In order to enjoy a safe cinema going experience we will continue with measures introduced last year like online ticketing, reduced auditorium capacity and self-scanning of tickets.”

On the opening of the brand new Omniplex cinema in Killarney, Mark commented “We intended to open our Omniplex Killarney last year, so we’re excited to finally get to present our latest cinema this July. With a MAXX D’LUXX screen, Killarney is about to be amazed by OMNIPLEXMAXX’s Big Screen and Big Sound treatment as well as the comfort of our D’LUXX electric recliner seats. This all-laser projection facility with SOFA-BEDS is at the cutting edge of worldwide cinema technology. Coincidentally our D’Luxx cinemas are also naturally well suited to a socially distant world with a focus on automation and large fully electric recliner seats with a 2 metre gap between rows.”

Ireland is the highest cinema attending nation in Europe and at a time when escapism is needed, Omniplex hopes that cinemas can fill that need.
