Fathom Events cancels & postpones multiple screenings amid COVID-19 crisis

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

As theater chains the likes of AMC, Regal, Alamo Drafthouse, and Cinemark remain closed due to concerns stemming from the COVID-19 crisis, Fathom Events has recently announced that they, too, will be cancelling and postponing a number of their upcoming screenings.

The Fathom Events theater group, who continue to host thrilling anniversary events and special screenings related to some of the greatest films of all time, released a statement Friday afternoon detailing their move to help prevent the spread of a deadly disease that is sweeping the globe.

You can read Fathom's statement in full below:

The health and safety of our attendees is of the highest importance to us, and, as movie theaters close across the nation, Fathom Events is in the process of cancelling or postponing many of our planned events. 

We want to take a moment to thank you for all you have done to bring news of our events to fans all around the country (and beyond), as well as your patience and understanding as we navigate this process. We truly value our relationship with you and your support during this difficult time. We look forward to working with you as our new schedule develops and our events appear back on movie theater screens, whenever that may be. 

During this unprecedented time, we are actively maintaining contact with partners and monitoring health organizations’ guidance to determine when future events may take place. We will ensure they are safe and follow the recommendations set by all experts, including exhibitor and content partners, the National Association of Theatre Owners, the CDC, the World Health Organization, and other relevant organizations. Moviegoing is a unifying community experience that is at the heart of our popular culture and we look forward to bringing audiences together again when it is safe to do so.
