JAKARTA - The government has decided to open cinema operations starting Thursday, September 16. This opening is carried out for the Java and Bali regions with areas that apply PPKM Level 3 and 2.

"The opening of cinemas with a maximum capacity of 50 percent in cities (which apply PPKM) Level 3 and Level 2," said Luhut in announcing the extension of the Java-Bali PPKM, Monday, September 13.

The trial of the operation of the cinema caused the opening of the cinema to be delayed for two days. Of course, this news is good news for people who miss watching movies in the cinema.

Visitors who want to go to the cinema are required to have the Peduli Protect application and have been vaccinated. Those who qualify will have a Green category in their application.

Today, September 15, two cinema chains in Indonesia posted regulations that must be obeyed by visitors.

CGV said the requirement for the vaccine must be met twice and viewing is only allowed for those aged 12 years and over. For the rules of eating and drinking, the CGV follows the regulations of the local city government.

Based on the official website, some of the films that will be shown at CGV this September are Escape From Mogadishu, The Suicide Squad, Black Widow, Hard Hit, and Fast & Furious 9.

Cinema 21 also applies the same rules. They also urge visitors to download the Peduli Protect application and wear masks while in the cinema environment.

“You also have to make sure that you are in good health while traveling huh. If you feel sick, it's okay to postpone it," wrote Cinema 21 on Instagram.

Cinema 21 also said that the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will hit theaters this month.
