Technology will automatically block seats adjacent to a party when tickets are purchased.

Cinemark is increasing the volume of fresh, outside air flowing into the theaters.
Seat wipes and hand sanitizer will be available for customer use.
Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets online and use contactless payment methods. Cash payment options will be limited.
