Great news for cinema lovers nationwide!
While cinemas are part of the lift in restrictions that allows them to re-open from Tuesday, December 2, there are quite a few things to line-up before they can simply re-open their doors.
They have to get the staff back in, organise the film schedule and get the movies in to each cinema, and then there is all that popcorn to start popping!

"We're delighted to announce that on Fri 4 December, we will start the phased re-opening of our cinemas across ROI. Showtimes and tickets for our blockbuster line up will be available tomorrow at omniplex.ie"
