New Berlin Movie Theater To Require Vaccination For Certain Films

NEW BERLIN, WI — The Marcus Ridge Cinema in New Berlin is set to debut shows on Friday that require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to attend.

The "vaccinated only showings" will be offered for select titles at certain times. Guests attending the shows will have to present a vaccination card or photo of the card and a photo ID. Regular showtimes that do not require vaccination will continue for the titles selected for the new vaccinated-only shows, according to the Marcus Theatres website.

Everyone, including children, will need to be vaccinated for the new "Vax only" shows. A negative test is not sufficient, according to the theatre's FAQs section on the policy.

"At Marcus Theatres we offer choices. A choice in movies, snacks, seats and auditorium type," Marcus Theatre's website reads. "For those interested, we will offer an afternoon and evening showtime for select movies in which vaccination is required."

At the Ridge Cinema in New Berlin, several showtimes with a (Vax Required) note are already being advertised. Multiple showtimes for "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" and "King Richard" will require vaccination.
