Kinepolis Antwerp Adjusts Film Times to Mitigate Traffic Delays

Antwerp moviegoers will experience slightly adjusted evening film schedules at Kinepolis Antwerp as the cinema proactively addresses ongoing traffic congestion caused by nearby roadworks. Starting last week, the cinema began shifting many 20:00 film screenings to 20:45 or 21:00 to allow patrons more time to arrive during the evening rush hour.

Addressing Traffic Concerns

Kinepolis Antwerp is temporarily modifying its evening program to account for persistent traffic issues in and around the city. According to a statement from Kinepolis spokesperson Anneleen Van Troos, the changes are intended to “give our customers some extra time to get here.” VRT NWS reports that the adjustments are directly linked to significant roadworks in the vicinity of the cinema.

Temporary Measure

The adjusted schedule is a temporary measure, and the duration remains uncertain. Kinepolis Antwerp will continue to monitor the progress of the roadworks and adjust the schedule accordingly to ensure a convenient experience for its customers. Memesita highlights that the cinema is prioritizing the movie-going experience even if it means adjusting timings to accommodate traffic flow.

Impact on Showtimes

The primary change involves shifting screenings originally scheduled for 20:00 to either 20:45 or 21:00 on weeknights. This adjustment aims to reduce the stress and time pressure on moviegoers navigating the evening commute. De Krantenkoppen confirms that the goal is to allow visitors to arrive without stress or time constraints.
