Odeon Harrogate delays reopening date
Because summer blockbusters including Wonder Woman 2 and Mulan have been delayed, Odeon said its Harrogate cinema will instead open at some point later this summer.
Harrogate's Odeon cinema will not open on July 16 as previously announced - but the Everyman will open later today.
Because summer blockbusters including Wonder Woman 2 and Mulan have been delayed, Odeon said its Harrogate cinema will instead open at some point later this summer.
Cinema-goers in Harrogate had hoped to be able to visit the Odeon from next Thursday and it had announced it would be showing a selection of classic films including The Empire Strikes Back.
An Odeon spokesperson told the Stray Ferret:
"Our next phase of reopening will continue to take place from this Friday. However, in light of changes in the timing of this summer’s big blockbusters, the reopening dates scheduled for the rest of our cinemas across July, including Odeon Harrogate, will now be phased over July and August.
"We are pleased to be welcoming guests back to selected cinemas across the UK, and we continue to receive positive feedback from cinemagoers on their experience and the additional safety measures we have put in place."

Odeon said when customers are allowed back into its Harrogate cinema, family groups and social bubbles will be allowed to sit next together, but between separate customers there will be an unoccupied seat. Staggered show times will also limit the chance of long queues.
In related news, Everyman cinema in Westgate House, Harrogate, will open later today for the first time since March. A mix of classic films and recent releases are available to watch including Parasite, the Wolf of Wall Street and Fantastic Mr Fox.
