When Illinois Governor JB Pritzker made the announcement about the new guidelines for managing the COVID-19 pandemic yesterday the writing was on the wall for more closures, temporary closures, and postponements, and we have another one here in Quincy.

VIP Cinemas Quincy 3, the movie theatre inside of the Quincy Mall will have to close their doors temporarily under the new guidelines in Illinois for managing COVID-19, they announced on their Facebook page saying...

"Due to the recently imposed Health Department guidelines in response to the resurgence of COVID-19 cases across the state of Illinois, we will be closing our doors this Friday, November 20th for an estimated two weeks with no announced re-opening date at this time."

So if you're looking to head to catch a movie at VIP Cinemas Quincy 3 inside the Quincy Mall today will be your last chance for a while until we get back into Phase 4 of the reopen Illinois plan. This news is really a bummer because VIP Cinemas Quincy 3 is such a hidden gem in Quincy, I have been there multiple times since they reopened in June (and plenty of times before COVID-19 hit) and they have done such a stellar job keeping the facility clean and safe, plus they have such great deals on popcorn and soda's you just cant beat it. Hopefully they will get to reopen their doors asap as seeing movies on Christmas day is a tradition me and my family don't want to miss!
