A Running List of Metro Manila Cinemas Opening in November

Indoor cinemas in Metro Manila have finally been given the green light to reopen! It has been nearly two years since they closed their doors amid a still-happening panini, admittedly, but with the capital region under Alert Level 3 the protocols have loosened enough to allow for their return. The biggest rule that differentiates this directive from the February effort to do the same? Only fully vaccinated folks can go watch a movie.

The Cinema Exhibitors Association of the Philippines teased a specific date for this comeback—a cinematic November 10—on their Facebook page. If you're wondering which cinemas have confirmed their return, we list them down below.
