Around 40 Florida Movie Theaters Shutter As Hurricane Helene Nears Landfall


Close to 40 AMC, Cinemark and Regal multiplexes are closed throughout Florida as the state braces for Hurricane Helene to hit landfall as a Category 4.

Hurricane-force winds at 74 mph are expected per Weather.com to stretch into Florida’s Panhandle northward into southern and middle Georgia tonight, possibly as far north as the Atlanta metro area. The cinema was completely remodeled and updated to what is essentially one of the chain’s zenith venues in the country, reopening on April 7, 2019. However, if cinemas are forced to close this weekend in Atlanta, GA, which is a top ten market, we could see a shortfall of ticket sales.
