SMG will refund all tickets pre-purchased and suspend billing customers on all subscription plans. SMG values the wellbeing of its communities above all else, and we look forward to reopening once it is safe to do so. The company is saddened that, for the time being, we will not be able to offer our communities a place to escape and enjoyment in these difficult times. This is an unprecedented moment in our world, and SMG has been proactive in taking all possible recommended steps to preserve the health and safety of all its stakeholders. Keeping everyone safe is of the utmost importance and the right thing to do.
Therefore, as the epidemic begins to have an increased local impact, and the situation is rapidly changing, we have made a truly heartbreaking and difficult decision to temporarily close our theaters as mandated by cities and states, local and national government guidelines. The medical and scientific evidence leaves no doubt that the COVID-19 spread can be slowed down and lives can be saved if all large gatherings are suspended. The challenge facing our company is significant. In happy times, and challenging times like this, our commitment to every one of our stakeholders is tested. We are enormously grateful for your loyalty and support of Studio Movie Grill (“SMG”) and care deeply about you, our team members and our communities. We're in this together.ģ/20/20: A NOTE FROM BRIAN REGARDING TEMPORARY CLOSURES IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19 EPIDEMIC In the meantime, we’re sending good vibes your way take care of yourselves and those you love.
