Yesterday, Los Angeles movie theaters finally started to re-open (with limited seating capacity, of course, for proper social distancing). One of the first screenings was at AMC’s flagship Los Angeles theater, the Century City 15<\/a>, for the Oscar-nominated (and Golden Globe<\/a> winning) Nomadland<\/em><\/a>. As The Hollywood Reporter tells it<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then came a final message before the movie started, a bright graphic with bold letters and a voiceover to match that said, “Welcome Back to the Movies.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The audience responded by doing something typically saved for the final credits (of a worthy film) \u2014\u00a0they erupted in applause with a handful of guests cheering, “Woo!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

One movie fan there was Brannen Haderle, who said the experience had him “feeling re-inspired” and “absolutely invigorated to be back,” and he was hoping to go back for a new movie every day this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another excited fan turned up at AMC’s Burbank<\/a> location: Chris Nolan<\/a>. Presumably he wasn’t there to watch Tenet<\/a><\/em>, although there’s no shame in wanting to see your own movie on the big screen. In fact, someone else who was at the Century City’s re-opening was filmmaker Eddie Huang, director of the just-released Boogie<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That’s the first time I’ve seen the movie in a movie theater; I get chills…. My mother is in that first scene and I just had to see how it looks.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI did an intro at a drive-in, but it\u2019s not the same…. My heart is racing watching this in a theater; this is really cool.\u201d<\/p>Deadline<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That’s really great! It’s easy to forget that it’s not just fans who have been missing out on the theatrical experience, but the filmmakers themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
