A standing ovation goes to the team at Stone Theatres, a regional cinema operator based in Charlotte with five theatres in North and South Carolina. While many theatres across the country remain shuttered, The Pointe 14 in Wilmington has re-opened and to a steady flow of customers. However, instead of welcoming movie-goers, the theatre is hosting a vaccination clinic for eligible members of the community, in a partnership with a local health care provider. The theatre offers easy access off the highway, plenty of parking, and a wide-open and airy lobby, providing the necessary medical forms at the box office upon arrival. “We applaud Stone Theatres’ spirit of public service,” John Fithian, the president of NATO, told Variety. “The sooner the vaccines are made widely available, the sooner communities across the country and the movie theaters that serve them can return to normal life.” Stone’s VP Dale Coleman is thankful that his venue can be put to the best possible use, bringing good health and vitality back to the Carolinas. Coleman said, “This is been one of the most rewarding things our company has ever done.”
