Theaters were counting on the release of the 25th James Bond film, No Time to Die, to help with sagging ticket sales amid the pandemic. But, its release has now been pushed back until April 2021.
There is one Regal Cinema in Utah. It’s located in Taylorsville.
Have you gone to a movie theater since the pandemic hit?
