<span class="s1" style="">(Cleveland, OH) Cleveland Cinemas will begin to welcome guests back to its neighborhood theaters beginning June 19th as it begins a three-phase re-opening plan.</span></p>

<span class="s1" style="">“While Governor Dewine’s order allows movie theaters in Ohio to start operating on June 10th, we felt it was important to not rush to re-open,” says Jonathan Forman, President of Cleveland Cinemas. “After thoughtful discussions with
our staff and operations team, we have come up with a plan that will provide patrons with an enjoyable and safe night at the movies, in our theaters that will be operating under the guidelines of<span class="Apple-converted-space">
</span>the Ohio Department of Health and the CDC.”</span></p>

<span class="s1" style="">The first locations to re-open on Friday, June 19th will be the Apollo Theatre (19 E. College St., Oberlin) and Tower City Cinemas (230 W. Huron Rd., Cleveland). On Wednesday, June 24th the Capitol Theatre (1390 W. 65th St., Cleveland)
and Chagrin Cinemas (8200 E. Washington St., Chagrin Falls) will open their doors. Finally, on Wednesday, July 1st the historic Cedar Lee Theatre will begin to welcome patrons.</span></p>

<span class="s1" style="">“We wanted to re-open our theaters in phases so that we can ensure that the programs that we have developed in theory will work in practicality,” says Sean Denny, Cleveland Cinemas Director of Operations. “These phased openings will
also help us gauge audience interest and allow us to make certain that all of our staffing needs are met.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>

<span class="s1" style="">“The programming we will be offering at first will be truly iconic movies that audiences love,” says Dave Huffman, Cleveland Cinemas Director of Marketing. “Our theaters have always offered an eclectic variety of films, from classics
to independent films to Hollywood blockbusters. We know our audiences love to see all of these films on the big screen rather than just watch at home. With tickets priced at just $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and children, it will be a fun and inexpensive
way for a family to enjoy an afternoon or evening out of the house.”</span></p>
