AMC Entertainment today announced its reopening plans for theaters in the United States, which have been shut down for months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The phased reopening will see somewhere around 400 theaters back in business by Sept. 3 — which also happens to be the release date for the long-anticipated Christopher Nolan film Tenet. The remainder of AMC's 600-plus theaters will open "only after authorized to do so by state and local officials."
As you'd expect, AMC has put a number of precautions in place as part of the reopening. It's dubbed "AMC Safe & Clean" and was developed with The Clorox Company and "under advisement of current & former faculty of Harvard University’s prestigious School of Public Health."
The changes include extra time between screenings to allow for deeper cleanings, a reduction in the maximum number of tickets available, the blocking of seats for better social distancing, HEPA vacuums and upgraded air filtration, and mandatory masks for all guests and employees.
Some 100 theaters are said to be open by Aug. 20, and that grand reopening will see ticket prices at just 15 cents, plus tax. The list of theaters reopening that day include the following:
