Burns Court is owned and operated by nonprofit Sarasota Film Society along with Lakewood Ranch Cinemas, which screens wide-release movies and reopened at the end of March. Sarasota Film Society president and CEO Renee Baggott said they decided to reopen Burns Court following Lakewood Ranch’s successful return and the conclusion of movie awards season after the Oscars on April 25.
“The Oscars will be over by then, so the independent programming is a little bit easier to obtain going forward now,” Baggott said.
Like Lakewood Ranch Cinemas, Burns Court will initially open Fridays through Sundays only, and will feature similar safety measures such as reduced capacity and requiring masks except when patrons are eating or drinking. Both theaters also plan to continue offering private theater rentals, a popular option during the pandemic.
