AMC has announced that it plans to reopen 450 of its theatres on July 15 with the remaining expected to be open by the end of July.
When select theatres reopen on 7/15, AMC, AMC DINE-IN and AMC CLASSIC auditoriums will be reduced to 30% capacity or less, based on municipality guidelines. In auditoriums with traditional seating, every other row is blocked off. In all auditoriums, including those wider AMC Signature Recliners, guests will be asked to leave an empty seat between yourself and other guests.
Most importantly, AMC will require guests to wear masks inside the theaters.
Common areas and high touch points will be routinely disinfected throughout the day. There will be extra time between movies so that auditoriums can be cleaned between each showtime.
Electrostatic disinfectant sprayers and vacuums with HEPA filters will now be used throughout the building. Also, HVAC filters have been upgraded to MERV 13 wherever possible.
To reduce contact, large popcorn and large fountain drink refills will be unavailable. Items like napkins, lids, straws and condiments will be available by request.
A reopening date for the AMC at Disney Springs has yet to be announced, and the July 24 debut of Disney's summer movie Mulan remains uncertain.
