Cinemark has reopened a number of its cineplexes in San Mateo, welcome news. Popcorn and concessions also open, but masks in all public areas, and max capacity of 100 or 20%, whichever is less. 

I'm interested, since moviegoing has always been a delight. But there is nothing I particularly want to see - 'Tenet' is the major attraction, Christopher Nolan's movie, and I am not a Nolan fan. Besides, i've been threatened with divorce or worse if I'm an early adopter.

Anyone tried it out?

I feel for the movie theater industry.

60+" 4K TVs with stunning vibrancy are available for less than $400, so it was already getting tough to offer a compelling product.  Now many movies are released online on the same day AND at home you don't have to wear a mask or worry about catching COVID19.

I would be more tempted to embrace a touch of COVID risk to see Big Game at Memorial stadium or the Pac-12 CG if Stanford was in that game, but beyond that I will continue in 2020 to watch my 4K TVs and enjoy my comfy furniture without the burdens of masks or the worries of COVID.

My assumption has been the first large group outing will be an outdoor live sporting event where fans and their participation are part of the overall experience.   My hope is to see an NCAA tournament championship, with Stanford in that championship, in late Q1 2021 while wearing an N95 mask.
