American movie theater operators hope to fully reopen their businesses across the United States by late July. The theaters were forced to close last month to slow the coronavirus spread. Operators are planning for a slow reopening. They aim to open some theaters in parts of the U.S. where infection numbers are dropping. The limited business could begin as early as mid-June, said Patrick Corcoran, spokesman for the National Association of Theater Owners. However, he said the timing of the reopening is not decided yet and will depend on guidance from health officials. Hollywood production companies are unlikely to release big-budget films during a limited reopening of theaters. Blockbusters such as Walt Disney Company’s Mulan and Wonder Woman 1984 from Warner Brothers are currently planned for nationwide release in late July and August.
