AMC Planning On Opening Most of Their Theaters By Mid-July

Movie theaters are still closed across the country, with film studios delaying films, or bringing them to digital release instead.

While AMC locations around the country have been closed for the last few months, they have recently announced a new date for reopening!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, AMC has announced their plans for reopening all of their theaters by mid-July. The first 450 domestic locations will open on July 15th, and about 150 more locations will open by July 24th. Seating will be reduced to 30% throughout the the theaters and, in theaters without reclining seats, every other row will be blocked out for every showtime. Full capacity will not be allowed until at least Thanksgiving.

“After a painful almost four-month hiatus due to the coronavirus, we are delighted to announce that movies are coming back to the big screen at AMC.” said AMC CEO Adam Aron. Their plan for reopening was created after consulting with the Clorox Company and Harvard University’s School of Public Health. The plan involves contactless ticket and concession sales, theater disinfecting, and social distancing.

The opening will be just in time for the release of some big movie releases, including the long-awaited Mulan. Mulan was originally set to be released on March 27th, but was pushed back to July 24th.
