AMC will resume theatre operations at
approximately 450 U.S. locations on Thursday, July 30, and at
approximately 150 remaining locations the following week in time
for a theatrical slate commencing in August that appeals to
audiences of every segment
Slight pushback by two weeks of the U.S. dates
takes into account the newly scheduled release dates of Disney’s
MULAN and Warner Bros.’ TENET
AMC currently expects that at least some
theatres in all the 14 countries in which AMC operates outside the
U.S. will have opened by July 30 as well, with a full global
opening of theatres completed by early August
AMC Theatres (NYSE:AMC, "AMC" or the "Company"), the largest
theatrical exhibition company in the United States, in Europe &
the Middle East, and the world, today announced a new U.S.
reopening date of July 30, when it will resume operations of 450
U.S. theatres as part of a phased plan that is expected to bring
the 600-plus U.S. theatre circuit essentially to full operation by
early August.
The new reopening date aligns with updated release timing for
major theatrical blockbusters Warner Bros’ TENET (August 12) and
Disney’s MULAN (August 21). AMC is also excited to offer
movie-goers a broad selection of other new releases in July and
August, including Solstice’s action thriller UNHINGED (July 31),
Sony’s romantic comedy THE BROKEN HEARTS GALLERY (August 7), A24’s
psychological horror film SAINT MAUD, Disney/Marvel’s action
fantasy film NEW MUTANTS (August 28), Picturehouse’s inspirational
drama FATIMA (August 28), Orion’s comedy BILL AND TED FACE THE
MUSIC (August 28), and others. Additionally, Warner Bros. will
celebrate the 10th anniversary of Christopher Nolan’s INCEPTION
with a re-release on July 31st. Once the U.S. reopening commences,
AMC will have theatres open in all 15 countries in which AMC
operates. Theatres in all 14 countries AMC serves in Europe and the
Middle East either opened in June or are planned to open in July as
well. Barring further complications from the coronavirus outbreak,
AMC expects to be open at essentially its full complement of
approximately 1,000 theatres globally by early August.
Adam Aron, CEO & President, AMC Theatres said, “We continue
to devote extraordinary resources into our plan to operate our
theatres with a hyper commitment to the safety and health of our
guests and associates, notably in the United States through our new
AMC Safe & Clean initiative. Our theatre general managers
across the U.S. started working full time again today and are back
in their theatres gearing up to get their buildings fully ready
just a few weeks from now for moviegoers. That happy day, when we
can welcome guests back into most of our U.S. theatres, will be
Thursday, July 30.”
