tense - She is/was going to the cinema



Incident which happened a week ago:



Me to Kate: "Where are you going"?
Kate: "I'm going to the cinema".




Now today I happen to tell this story to Jim and I say,



"I met Kate a week ago."
Jim: What did she say?
Me: "Kate said that she 'is' going to the cinema".



My question is, is the usage of 'is' grammatically correct? Here, at the time of reporting after a week I don't know if she's still going to the cinema or not and even then I use 'is' will this be grammatically correct?
