The other 10% was composed of himself, the general manager and another assistant manager.
SHUT IN MOVIE SHOWTIMES MOVIE
And there was not a lot of new or good movies for people to want to go watch at the movie theater.Īs for employees of the movie theater, Sifuentes stated that it was the last day Thursday for about 90% of the staff. The deputy general manager also stated that the movie theater suffered a lot from the new COVID strains despite the lifting of lockdowns as many movies continue to get push back. We would be lucky if we would just get 50 people a day.” “People don’t want to come to the movies as often as they used to, as we used to get a huge amount of people when we had specials like half-off days and on Thursdays the movie premiers,” Sifuentes said. Sifuentes said one of the main reasons for the closure was the pandemic, as it caused the volume of people to drop significantly. A lot of these places are placed where we made memories in them, and seeing them closed down for so long is kind of gut wrenching.” “Seeing how we went from four movie theaters with the one dollar movies to choose from and now down to one is kind of sad. “Each theater has its things as I liked, going to the Alamo (Drafthouse) for its food, I liked coming here to watch movies because of the bigger auditoriums and liked going to Cinemark because they have the reclinable chairs.
“It is kind of saddening because I like to work at the movies and watch movies, and part of the reason why I work here for as long as I did was that,” Sifuentes said. One of the things that saddens the deputy manager the most is the fact that Laredo will now go from having four theaters in the city from three different companies to now just currently one. The six-year deputy manager states that this is hard for him as the movie theater has served for a long time as part of the Laredo community. “We have been telling people as they show up that today was going to be our last day, and many of them were surprised and told us that this is the movie theater that they like to come to as they felt it was more comfortable to come here,” Sifuentes said. But these moviegoers have been saddened knowing that their favorite place to watch a matinee was set to close its doors. Sifuentes states that very few people have been attending over the past month and a half. As the day goes by, I do feel more sadness thinking about all the memories I have had here, and many of the other employees as well feel sad and depressed.” “And there is a mix of emotions due to how long I have been working here and this situation as it is.
“It’s kind of crazy as they have already started taking a lot of our stuff already actually, as right now it is pretty vacant and empty,” Regal Laredo & RPX Deputy General Manager Jacob Sifuentes said.
