Though Quebec’s movie theatres will soon be allowed to reopen, a ban on selling popcorn and another snacks has some owners questioning if it’s even worth it to have the show go on.

Mario Fortin, general manager of Rosemont’s Cinema Beaubien and Cinema du Parc, said he had his “fingers crossed, waiting for them to give us a little bit of a miracle” when he was first required to shut down in the fall. The news that theatres would be permitted to re-open for March break came as a relief, even with restrictions such as needing to close before curfew and limiting the number of customers. That was, until he learned on the ban on snack selling.
