Governor Cuomo announced yesterday that NYC movie theaters can reopen at 25% capacity starting Friday, March 5—mask-wearing will be mandatory, of course.
Soon after, the AMC Magic Johnson Harlem 9 confirmed it would open its doors on March 5.
In the meantime, TCU conducted a poll on Instagram asking how many of you were planning on going to the movies.
A whopping 82 percent of you said you were going to wait.
Here are some of your responses, from the many nos to the few yeses:
