When did theatres close?

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the temporary closing of many theaters worldwide to ensure public safety and help curb the spread of the virus. The exact dates of closures and reopenings varied by country and region. In the United States, for example, many theaters closed in March 2020 and remained closed for several months. Some reopened with restrictions in place later that year, while others remained closed until early 2022. In Europe and other parts of the world, similar patterns of theater closures and reopenings were seen, often depending on local government guidelines and regulations. The specific dates of closures and reopenings should be checked for a particular region or country of interest, as they can vary.
