Back to the Movies!
Good news, film lovers! The silver screens in Singapore are finally lighting up again from July 13. That means the weekend you’ve been dreaming about is a little closer to reality—just remember the safety playbook we’ll keep in the mix.
What’s New When You Walk In?
- Capacity cutback – Imagine a cozy popcorn pit instead of a crowded block. The theatres will run at about 60 % occupancy, giving you room to breathe (and keep the social distance anthem going).
- Sanitizing stations – Hand‑wipe yourself up at every entrance (and exit). The kiosks will be front‑lining the buzz, plus staff will keep you clean up front.
- Mask optional – Bring your mask if you’re feeling extra careful. Otherwise, it’s a free‑to‑wear policy, as long as the theater adheres to certain ventilation checks.
- Ticketing tweaks – Scan your ticket via QR code or RFID; no sweaty lines, just quick breezy checks.
Feel Lucky? Look at the Promotions
If you’re hunting for a discount, don’t miss these deals coming into effect right when the doors open:
- First‑time EXCLUSIVE – Show up on the opening day and snag a 20 % off ticket for your friend or family member. Just flash your ID and have it engraved in memory.
- Bundle & Save – Buy a popcorn combo and get a free soda or the opposite, depending on the season (yes, we’ve got a little “soupy” fun for the rainy months).
- Theatre‑Club Perks – Join the CineClub members and lock in a special 15 % discount for the entire month. Membership can be signed online or at the front desk.
Expired Vouchers? No Panic, We Got Your Back
We know they can feel like wilted plants, but you can still treat them as green goodies by following the steps below:
- Upload a scanned copy of the voucher to the official ticket–renewal portal.
- Show it to the staff at the booth during pickup showing you said, “I’m still cash‑in‑disguise!”
- Use it within April 30th, or trade it for a fresh voucher if it survived up to that date.
Final Word
Re‑opening the theaters isn’t just a sign of “back to normal”; it’s a testament that time for unwinding over laughter and drama is still golden. So grab your popcorn, bring your friends (or a couple of mugs, if you’re going solo), and let the show begin—just keep an eye out for the little safety rules.

What are the safety precautions in place at movie theatres?
What’s New in the Movie‑House: Safety Rules That Keep the Fun (and Your Health) Alive
Hey movie lovers! The authorities have rolled out a fresh set of guidelines to keep everyone safe while you’re still getting your popcorn fix. Grab a comfy seat and read on:
- Seat spacing— Every chair will now be at least 1 metre away from the next. Think of it as giving each seat a personal bubble.
- Group watch limits— You can still enjoy film nights with friends, but no more than five people in a single group.
(They don’t have to live together, but bring them close by—just not too close in the seating arrangement.) - Maximum crowd rule— The theater can hold a maximum of 50 patrons at any time. That’s enough to fill the seats and still leave some space for your couch‑mates to slouch.
- Mask‑up rule— Keep that mask on at all times inside the cinema, except when you’re munching or sipping. That helps keep the film shot clean and sneeze‑free.
So next time you hit the movies, just remember: stay spaced out, keep the mask until the snack break, and enjoy the show in a crowd that’s carefully capped. It’s all about keeping the cinema safe while keeping the movie magic alive!
Can I consume food and drinks during the movie?
Movie Mask Etiquette
Good news! You can temporarily ditch your mask to snack on popcorn or sip your drink while the film rolls.
- Enjoy your food or drink without the mask—movies are meant to be pleasurable.
- Once you’re done, snap your mask back on right away. That keeps everyone comfortable.
So go ahead—chew, sip, and laugh—but remember to slide the mask back on as soon as you’re finished. Cheers to a comfy, mask‑friendly movie night!

How to Keep Your Movie Night Safe This Pandemic Season
Picture this: you’re about to dive into the latest blockbuster, but you’re not letting COVID-19 crash your farewells. Theaters are tightening their cleaning protocols, and you can take a few extra steps to stay protected. Here’s your handy guide to staying safe while enjoying the big screen.
1⃣ Keep That Mask On, Except When You’re Munching
- Think of your mask as a trusty sidekick—always on guard, only let it out when you’re eating or sipping.
- Don’t forget: the mask is your first line of defense, even for a quick popcorn burst.
2⃣ Go Cashless in the Concession Line
- Tap the slab, hit the QR code, or use your phone—nothing beats stealing the hassle of handshakes.
- Saving a swipe of the touchless payment button means less chance that a random stranger will get the contagious hug.
3⃣ Respect Your Personal Space (and Anyone Else’s)
- Stay friendly but far enough from folks at the ticket counter, the doorways, and the lavatory.
- Short distance, big vibes—keep your seatmates at a safe radius to avoid any sneaky viral exchanges.
4⃣ Keep Your Hands Off Unknown Surfaces
- Be a master of the “hands‑free” rule: avoid touching random objects, the escalator rail, or door handles.
- If you must touch something, give your hands a swish of sanitizer right after—think of it as a quick spa for your hands.
All set for a blockbuster with peace of mind! Armed with these simple habits, you can enjoy films while staying safe. Remember—together, we’re the true superheroes of the cinema.
