But a rival chain, Cinemark, began reopening some theaters in Texas on Friday without requiring face masks. “It’s a big country out there,” Mark Zoradi, Cinemark’s chief executive, told the entertainment news site Deadline on Wednesday. There are other places like Texas where it’s not required. Outbreaks have also been reported recently at a Panda Express restaurant in California, an Advance Auto Parts store in Colorado and among athletes at Kansas State University and the University of Texas. It was the sixth time in 10 days that the state broke its single-day case record.
