is a great day for moviegoers in the state of New Jersey, for AMC
and for our hundreds of employees in the state. We are especially
pleased that our studio partners can rely on an expanding and
enthusiastic audience for their new movie releases, as more and
more states in the U.S. approve the opening of cinemas. We are
excited to welcome our guests in New Jersey back to the movies,
where they will experience the magic of the big screen, along with
our new AMC Safe & Clean policies and procedures. Our
comprehensive commitment to operating our theatres safely now
includes social distancing through limiting ticket sales and
automatic seat blocking, seamless contactless ticketing, greatly
enhanced cleaning procedures, the availability of hand sanitizer
and disinfecting wipes throughout our theatres, as well as a
mandatory mask policy for all guests and crew members. We’re also
closely monitoring local and state guidance, and we are complying
with any additional capacity restrictions. In addition, we have
invested millions for high tech solutions to sanitization and
disinfection, including electrostatic sprayers, HEPA vacuums and
MERV 13 air filters. Guests returning to AMC can do so knowing that
we’ve been in constant dialogue with top scientists and experts in
public health and cleaning about how best to reopen our theatres in
ways that will be responsible and welcoming.”
