Norway handled the pandemic very well, much better than we and most of Europe did, but Sweden has been a disaster in comparison. Their death rate from COVID is almost twice that of Canada, though somewhat less than that of major European countries.

The daily average continues to go, slowly, down. It will be interesting to see how much it changes after Thanksgiving and the decision to open up more things to more people.

I saw James Bond yesterday at Scotiabank Theatre. The theatre was full.

Yes. People were checked at the door.

I'm sure. With a 69 year old diabetic at home with only 5 weeks between his Pfizer shots, I'm not going to risk it.

My kid works at Cineplex and he wasn't too excited about the full capacity. I am sure he will adjust though. Checking vax info is actually part of his job when he is at the front.

U.S. to lift Canada, Mexico land border restrictions in Nov for vaccinated visitors
The United States will lift restrictions at its land borders with Canada and Mexico for fully vaccinated foreign nationals in early November, ending historic curbs on non-essential travelers in place since March 2020 to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yes I feel the same. We watched Shang-Chi a couple of weeks ago and loved the extra space that we wanted to start watching more movies in the theatres again. But with the full capacity...pass.
Good intentions but bad timing?Northern Light

Quick note specific to this question, Cineplex is not running to 100% capacity.
They are continuing to leave at least one seat empty between unrelated parties.
You can see that with this screenshot of today's 5:15pm screening at SB:
Seats with the line through them are being held empty by the system.
I too went to see the new Bond flick at Scotiabank.
In Cinema #1, (one of the very large auditoriums). I was one of 30 people in over 350 seats.
I knew that would be the case, in advance, because all seating remains reserved.
You can see prospective capacity online. (see image above)
Matinee shows, especially the 1st of the day are quite low attendance.
In furtherance of the point above, here is the current attendance for the 2:40pm, 3D screening of Bond at SB:
Yup, that's right, with less than 10M to showtime, they've sold exactly 1 ticket.
Lots of opportunity to take in a show with oodles of room around you, if you have a flexible work schedule.
(PS, I went on Thanksgiving Monday) (did my TG dinner on the Sunday)
