Theaters Close In South Florida Due To Hurricane Matthew

Description

A majority of cinemas in the Miama area will be closed Thursday night, while theaters along the coastal area south of the city may be shuttered all day. Numerous theaters in South Florida — including Miami — will be closed Thursday because of Hurricane Matthew, the strongest storm to threaten the area in years. Tropical storm force winds are expected to strike Palm Beach and Broward counties on Thursday morning, with the eye of storm coming closest to land Thursday night. AMC and Regal, two of the largest theater chains in the country, operate numerous locations in the Miami area. AMC Indian River 24, located in West Palm Beach, will be closed all day Thursday. AMC's seven Miami theaters will begin closing in the afternoon and remain shuttered throughout the night. Some cinemas in Jacksonville, Fla., will also be closed Thursday night. Theaters in Charleston, S.C., will also be dark because of mandatory evacuations. Theater owners will make a decision about Friday once they have a better sense of Hurricane Matthew's intensity. Neither exhibitors nor Hollywood studios are ready to predict how much the weekend box office will be impacted by Matthew, since it depends on whether theaters in south Florida and other coastal cities are able to reopen on Friday. New offerings at the box office this weekend include adult thriller The Girl on the Train and embattled filmmaker Nate Parker's The Birth of a Nation.

Hurricane Matthew Ravages Charlotte

Multiple houses were severely damaged and thousands of residents were left without electricity after Hurricane Matthew ripped through Charlotte in North Carolina on Sunday. No casualties were reported but numerous houses sustained severe damage in the storm. Trees were uprooted and fell onto houses and power lines, destroying property and snapping electricity wires like twigs. Emergency services have been dispatched to Charlotte to examine the situation and begin clearing up the damages. Despite the fact that Charlotte was spared the worst rain and wind of Hurricane Matthew, other people across the state suffered worse damages. More than half a million power outages were reported in North Carolina on Sunday morning and large parts of the state have been flooded, with some areas being hit by as much as 16 inches of rain throughout Saturday.

Miami Deserted as Hurricane Matthew Approaches

Heavy wind and rain signaled the approach of Hurricane Matthew after it ravaged Caribbean countries earlier this week. Miami’s residents braced themselves for the storm on Thursday, taking heed of a general evacuation order from Florida Governor Rick Scott. The states of Florida and South Carolina, as well as parts of North Carolina and Georgia, have declared a state of emergency, with millions of coastal residents warned to be ready to evacuate their homes. According to Haitian authorities, at least 100 people were killed by Hurricane Matthew as a result of massive flooding and severe winds brought by the Category 4 storm as it left a trail of devastation through the impoverished island nation of Haiti earlier in the week. Thousands of people have had their homes completely or partially destroyed.
