AMC Theatres — the largest cinema circuit in the world — will open 450 of its U.S. locations on July 15 followed by the remaining 150 on July 24, in time for Disney's Mulan and Warner Bros.' Tenet.
Like its rivals, the movie chain is implementing a wide array of sanitary and social distancing measures,including staggered seating, in order to make customers feel comfortable amid ongoing concerns about COVID-19.
AMC will approach seating capacity limitations in four distinct phases. Phase 1, which commences July 15, reduces seating capacity to 30 percent.
