AMC Theaters will begin reopening 'in waves' beginning on Aug. 20, the company announces Wednesday.
Speaking of concessions, the chain will be offering a limited menu for the time being. Popcorn is in; free drink refills are out. And the company says customers will have to ask for condiments and paper goods since they won't be available at self-service stations.
The auditoriums themselves will only be filled to 30 percent capacity, and showings will be spaced out to allow extra time for cleaning, AMC said. Staffers will have their temperatures taken before shifts, and wipes and hand sanitizer will be available throughout the theaters. Some theaters will be reopening in time for Disney’s latest installment in the X-Men Cinematic Universe,"The New Mutants," which debuts Aug. 28. Warner Brothers’"Tenet," directed by Christopher Nolan, opens on Sept. 3. And"Unhinged," starring Russell Crowe, debuts on Aug. 21.
For those who can get to a location that will be open on Aug. 20, tickets that day, and that day only, will be 15 cents plus tax. AMC will also be showing some classics like"Back to the Future,""Beauty and the Beast" and"Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back." Tickets for those films will be $5 plus tax while they're playing.
