Bend’s Regal Old Mill theaters reopen – for now

Theater reopened doors for the first time in about seven months

BEND, Ore. -- (KTVZ) -- For the second time in a year, Bend's Regal Old Mill ScreenX & IMAX reopened its doors to moviegoers Friday -- this time, for the first time in about seven months.

The theater reopening is part of a major nationwide reopening wave in recent weeks for the movie theater chain, like so many hit hard by COVID-19 pandemic-related occupancy limits and other guidelines

The Bend theater temporarily closed its doors when the pandemic first hit and the reopened in August 2020 only to close its doors again a couple months later.

But if Deschutes County does return to Extreme Risk category in a week, as is apparently likely, it could deal such businesses another blow.
