, which operates the biggest art-house cinema network in France, is preaching patience for the re-opening of theaters.
“But today no one is able to give a serious date for that. We still don’t know how people are going to go back to school, to work, it’s question after question.

“Our question is not when to re-open, it is how to re-open. If it has to be with masks, two by two [social distancing], with further restrictions, our belief is that it isn’t worth opening and we should wait,” he stated. “We think we should wait until it is a good experience and not a frightening experience.

Ultimately, Karmitz notes that the company “will follow what the government says”. Today, it was announced that the country will wait until the end of May to declare when restaurants can re-open, and a date for cinemas will likely come later still.
