Cine Colombia reported on August 23 that nine of its multiplexes were damaged by a recent earthquake, spanning Cali, Pereira, Manizales, Armenia and Ibagué.[^2] Of those nine, eight remain closed.

The chain confirmed the closures separately, saying the eight affected venues have not reopened.[^1] Cine Colombia has not said when the cinemas are expected to return to service.

The read here is that the gap between nine damaged and eight closed suggests one multiplex sustained damage but has resumed operations - though the facts do not say which one or under what conditions.
