CORNWALL, Ontario – Cineplex has announced that Cornwall’s Galaxy Theatre will join other cinemas across the province and open this Friday, Feb. 26.
Galaxy Theatre was closed last year due to the COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the province.

Cineplex states that they will continue to focus on enhanced safety measures, cleaning, and new rules to ensure physical distancing both in the lobby and cinemas.
Cineplex promises a line-up of movies that have been released digitally or through screening services, but have yet to hit the big screen in the Cornwall region including: Tom & Jerry, Judas and The Black Messiah, The Little Things, Land, The Croods 2: A New Age, and Wonder Woman 1984.
