Dear Hot Springs Movie (and Popcorn) lovers,
Thank you for supporting your hometown theatre in these strange times. Whether you came to the movie on ‘re-opening’ weekend, or bought treats at the concession stands while we were closed, your participation has meant the world to us. We know you love the theatre, and we love the way the community has embraced movies on the big screen in Hot Springs.
We want to remind you that concessions are always available when we are open, whether you buy a ticket or not. On Fridays, we open the concession stand an hour early at 5:30. Otherwise, concessions are available 30 minutes before showtime up to 30 minutes before the movie is over. For distancing concerns, you may come in (we limit the number of people in the lobby at one time) and order or you may come to the door, request curbside service, and go back to your car to wait for us to prepare and deliver your order. You may also bring your own covered container, which further limits physical contact and makes it so much easier to bring your popcorn home! (We will pour your popcorn from the regular container into your personal container.)
As the studios continue to delay new movies, we now are hoping for new releases in September. (No way to know for sure.) But we are showing some classics, movies you have likely seen on television, but probably not on the big screen, or not for many years on the big screen.
We understand that many of you are not ready to return to social outings, so we don’t expect to turn away customers. We are requiring wide social distancing and our customers comply without complaint. Since our auditorium is huge, we have no worries about finding everyone a safely distanced seat.
Again, we are grateful for your support and cooperation as we navigate this strange new territory.
Sincerely,
The Staff and Management at the Hot Springs Theatre
