Germany
1) Are the cinemas in your country currently closed by the government or not? (If so, when is the film scheduled?)
Cinemas are open. NTTD release date: 30 September 2021
2) (If yes, are cinemas closed in the whole country or just in one part, like a region or a city?)
-
3) What are the current conditions for accessing cinemas in your country? (example: see the answer for France below).
It depends on in what state you are (Germany has 16 states, and each state has its own Covid-regulations)
IF the Covid-7-day-Incidence is above 50 in your state, cinemas have to follow certain rules:
- 3G (geimpft, genesen, geimpft (english: vaccinated, healed or tested))
In some states this means, that the cinema can work at full capicity, in some states it means, that they can only work at 50% capacity.
- 2G (geimpft, genesen (only vaccinated or healed, no persons allowed, that are just tested))
With 2G cinemas are allowed to work at 100% capacity, but no one who is not vaccinated or healed is allowed to enter
IF the Covid-7-day-Incidence is below 50, not the country, but the state can decide on what measures will be in place.
So, as you can see: the rules can differ from state to state and even from week to week.
4) Is there a law in your country which obliges the wearing of a mask in the cinemas during the screening of films? (You can add if mask if you personally think masks should or shouldn't be mandatory).
It depends on in what state you are. In some states it's mandatory, in some not.
5) Is there a limit to the number of seats in cinemas? (And a eventual curfew?)
It depends on in what state you are. In some states cinemas are allowed to work at full capacity.
In Hamburg (this is a city and a state at the same time) cinemas can decide if they will have 3G (only 50% capacity, but also unvaccinated tested people) or 2G (100% capacity, but no "just tested"-people allowed).
So even within a state or a city it can differ from cinema to cinema as to what regulations are at work.
Of course everywhere modern AC-systems, hand-sanitizers etc. are mandatory.
At the Irvine Spectrum they still have the silver screen shaped for 1.43:1 projections, but as you said awhile back they no longer have the projector that used to do that. What a waste of a nice large screen.
I've seen 2 other films on this screen, neither was shot in IMAX BR2049, which was amazing and my very last trip to the cinema at the beginning of 2020, which was The Rise Of Skywalker which was an entirely different experience, a dire mess of a film.
It sounds like my IMAX isn't a genuine one but hey I'll live with it.
1) Are the cinemas in your country currently closed by the government or not? (If so, when is the film scheduled?) - fully open
2) (If yes, are cinemas closed in the whole country or just in one part, like a region or a city?)
3) What are the current conditions for accessing cinemas in your country? (example: see the answer for France below). - there's no need for proof of vaccination/negative test. After the announcement the other day from the government, in case they end up following "Plan B", if the hospitalisations/deaths begin to rise, events over 500 people may end up requiring the "COID Pass"
4) Is there a law in your country which obliges the wearing of a mask in the cinemas during the screening of films? (You can add if mask if you personally think masks should or shouldn't be mandatory). - no. Personally I think, particularly with no distancing, masks should still be needed and I will be wearing... Some cinemas, mostly independent venues rather than major chains, are encouraging customers to wear masks except when eating or drinking.
5) Is there a limit to the number of seats in cinemas? (And a eventual curfew?) - none at all. Some cinemas - again more the independent variety - are still keeping some form of distancing. In fact the opening weekend evening screenings of NTTD at the Odeon Leicester Square (700 seats) and the BFI IMAX (500) look to be fully 100% sold out with no distancing, by Sept 30..
Thanks for the summary regarding Germany, @Jan1985. I can add that the Savoy in Hamburg for which I got my tickets opted for the "2 G" scheme, so they can apparently use their full seating, but only for vaccinated or recovered persons. Fine with me.
That’s what happens when we declare independence.
Just 2 quick question :
- Antowolk, by UK you mean England (or all the UK main island) ?
- Jan, so let me understand : in 2G they refuse tested people (while they are the only ones that we are sure they don't have COVID ?! Seems stupid IMO, no ?). I guess by "Covid-7-day-Incidence is above 50" means less than 50 death in a week.
So far I have :
- France, Poland, Switzerland, Russia, Germany, UK, Thailand & Belgium.
What would I like :
- China, Spain, Australia, New Zeland, Italy, USA, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, Brasil, Sweden & Japan, (and wherever you live).
So if there is members of theses country here.
Yes, England.
It means less than 50 new infections per 100.000 in one week.
Concerning tests: they can be "false negative". But the thought behind 2G is: a vaccinated person, even when infectious, will spread less virus than a non-vaccinated person. And if there are only vaccinated people in the room, the risk, that someone will end up in hospital, is low.
But the main reason for 2G is, in my opinion, that they want people to get vaccinated. So they say: if you don't do that, you're not able anymore to attend a concert or enter a restaurant, a cinema, a theatre ... It's a political pressure.

2) (If yes, are cinemas closed in the whole country or just in one part, like a region or a city?)

4) Is there a law in your country which obliges the wearing of a mask in the cinemas during the screening of films? (You can add if mask if you personally think masks should or shouldn't be mandatory). - no. If it were, I wouldn t go. Even for Bond.
5) Is there a limit to the number of seats in cinemas? (And a eventual curfew?) - yes, this is the one thing that has been kept, distancing between groups of people who went together. Suits me fine.
Appreciate the reply! I'm staying within walking distance to the BFI IMAX so it's easier for me to get to, but I'll based on my experience of it last time, and your knowledge, I'll try one of the other cinemas this time most likely. Want to see the 'expanded' footage obviously, but also want to see it in as best quality otherwise, so thanks again.
That's excellent. Looking forward to your thoughts.
In the article in The Sunday Times from last weekend, NTTD had sold more tickets at Vue in 24 hours than Spectre had in 4 1/2 weeks.

That's unfortunate. My booking is for Liverpool One IMAX on release date. Had I the opportunity (which I didn't) I would have gladly released this to you for obvious reasons.

I'll probably see it at least 3 times over that initial weekend with different friends and family
Sorry to rub it in @Bounine mate, I hope it's worth the wait for you my friend
