From March 5, hugged New Yorkers can go to the cinema, but the salons can only be filled to a quarter capacity or a maximum of 50 people, and they must wear mouth guards.
Already, a few places in the state have been able to open their movie palaces, but inside the multimillion-dollar city, cinemas have been blocked.
The film industry is positive
New York is the United States' second largest cinema market, with 7.4 percent, and in the largest - Los Angeles - cinemas are still closed.
Ahead of the opening in New York, according to The Hollywood Reporter, about 38 percent of the country's salons have been able to open, with various restrictions.
And the film industry thanks for the long-awaited announcement, the chain AMC announced immediately after Cuomo's press conference that they intend to open all 13 of their cinemas in the big city.
Broadway still closed
Cuomo's announcement comes days after major venues such as Madison Square Garden have been granted permission to open to the public.
However, Broadway remains closed.
Even if the theaters were allowed to open with reduced capacity, most would probably give up, as they are not considered to be able to operate without more or less full houses.
