Assigned seating will be required and theaters must be limited to 25% capacity up to 50 people per screen. Mask will be required except when eating and drinking. I'm sure this would probably be a small sacrifice for people that really love going to enjoy that movie experience. I personally would not be one of them, although it's great to see some things are trying to get back to normal.
