VOX Cinemas announced that it will reopen its multiplex at The Avenues for Eid al-Fitr in compliance with government guidelines.
In adherence with the Ministry of Health, guests must be vaccinated and registered on the Immune App to gain entry. VOX Cinemas has also undertaken extensive precautionary measures and put in place an all-encompassing sanitization and physical distancing plan.
During the temporary closures, Majid Al Futtaim conducted extensive research to identify the top safety measures that would make guests feel comfortable about returning to its entertainment concepts and used the findings to proactively reimagine the guest experience.
Safe distancing ambassadors have been introduced and instructional signage has been installed to guide guests on best physical distancing practices. Guests are encouraged to enjoy a queue-less experience by advance booking their tickets and doing top-ups online. To further minimize physical contact and exposure, contactless payment options are available. The capacity in cinema auditoriums has also been reduced by 50% and seats next to, in front of, and behind a guest’s selection will be left vacant to allow for physical distancing.
Ali AlOqab, Regional Manager, Kuwait, Lebanon and Jordan, Majid Al Futtaim Cinemas and Majid Al Futtaim Leisure & Entertainment said, “After being closed for more than a year, we’re extremely excited about reopening our doors at The Avenues and having the opportunity to reconnect with our valued guests. VOX Cinemas has been reopening cinemas across the region since May last year so cinemagoers can rest assured that we are exceeding recommended guidelines to ensure that families can enjoy the collective experience of watching their favourite films on the big screen with added peace of mind. With an impressive line-up of new releases, film fans in Kuwait have plenty to look forward to this Eid al-Fitr.”
