Starting Thursday, Cinemark will not allow moviegoers to bring in large bags at its theaters.
The company says the new policy, effective Feb. 22, was put in place to enhance the safety and security of guests and employees. Any bags or packages measuring larger than 12″ x 12″ x 6″ will not be permitted into the theater.
