Screens Go Dark At Several Movie Theaters Around Springfield

Several movie theaters around Springfield are shutting down because of new restrictions on public gatherings due to COVID-19.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema says all of its locations are closed for now and all tickets will be refunded.

AMC Springfield 11’s website says its theaters have shut down in accordance with local and federal guidelines and will re-open when those guidelines allow.

Regal College Station says all of its theaters are closing starting Tuesday as a precaution amid the current circumstances.

The Moxie Cinema says it’s closed temporarily, but “the show will go on, thanks to you.”

SORRY, WE’RE CLOSED

Statement from Alamo Drafthouse Cinema:

We are deeply saddened to announce that all Alamo Drafthouse Cinema corporate-owned locations, and all but one* franchise-owned locations, are now closed until further notice. All shows have been canceled, and all tickets will be refunded.

This news – this situation – is devastating.

When we re-open after this unprecedented and indefinite hiatus, it will be in a dramatically altered world, and in an industry that’s been shaken to its core. We’ll be in close contact over the coming days and weeks with our teams, suppliers, and colleagues on what these closures mean and what we plan to do next.

This has already been a trying time for our entire team – servers, kitchen staff, bartenders, projectionists, concierge crew, managers – everyone who makes Alamo Drafthouse what it is. To try and assist as many staff members as possible, we’re working with the Emergency Assistance Foundation to expand and streamline our Alamo Family Fund in order to be able to respond to the increased need for emergency assistance by those affected. Alamo Drafthouse, through the AlamoGives initiative, has committed up to $2 million to this relief fund. We will have more information on this very soon.

To our guests, colleagues, and friends – we wish you the best, and we look forward to serving you again soon. Thank you. We will meet again.
