AMC celebrates its 100th anniversary by reopening theaters across the nation after closing due to the coronavirus pandemic. To celebrate their anniversary, one-day tickets will be priced at their 1920 cost of 15 cents per piece.
More than 100 AMC locations are scheduled to reopen Aug. 20, including in areas throughout Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachusetts, Indiana, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada, Minnesota, Ohio, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Kansas and Oklahoma, as well as Washington, DC.
The August 20 reshuffle would be the first step in AMC’s reshuffle phase across the US. It plans to have 600 theaters, as two-thirds of its operations, open by Sept. 3 in time for the launch of Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, which has been repeated delay due to COVID-19. The rest of its theaters will reopen as state and local officials advance.
Some movies shown on the 15-cent day include throwbacks such as Inception, Black Panther, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Grease and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Once the award for the 100th anniversary ends, those films will be priced at $ 5 per ticket.
AMC had earlier plans to reopen in July, however reopened last month with removal with film release dates. Some of the biggest films of the year have been continuously delayed, including DC’s Wonder Woman, which is now scheduled to launch in October; Disney’s Mulan, which was shot after August; and Marvel’s Black Widow, now set for November.
“We’re glad we’re reopening our doors to American moviegoers looking for a chance to get out of their homes and apartments and escape into the magic of movies,” said Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Theaters.
AMC rivals CineMark and Regal also set out for a July reopening. Regal’s website now says it will open on August 21, while CineMark has already opened theaters in 23 states.
Is it safe to go to the movie now? Your own answer to that question may depend on your political pay, according to a survey last month by The New York Times. For its part, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states, on a website updated on August 10, that certain activities and situations put you at “higher risk” from exposure to COVID-19, including “being in crowds – for example in restaurants, bars, airports, bus and train stations, or cinemas. ”
