Saudi Arabia has said it will lift a ban on public cinemas that has been in place for more than three decades, CNBC reports.

The Ministry of Culture and Information for Saudi Arabia said in a statement Monday that, after a hiatus of 35 years, it will begin licensing cinemas immediately.

Religious hardliners forced the closure of cinemas in the 1980s, claiming they were a threat to Saudi religious identity.
