AMC Offering 15-cent Ticket on the Day of Reopening

The largest movie theatre chain in the U.S, AMC Theatres is set to reopen on August 20, the reopening of their theatre will see them setting prices at 15-cent on the first day.

AMC theatre which is owned by AMC entertainment made it known on Thursday that doors are also likely to open in over 100 more cinemas, this reopening would come with a throwback price.

Though AMC has resumed activities in other countries, it has remained shut in the U.S since March. The reason for this could be that the U.S seems to be having more to deal with concerning the coronavirus cases, it has been reported that they have the highest number of cases.

Considering that when other countries were resuming activities and opening up business operations, it was not the same in the U.S.

The delay to reopen their theatres could be attributed to them wanting to ensure that all the right protective measures are put in place, following the rules of social distancing, availability of nose masks, proper cleaning and any other regulation which would be necessary.

The reopening of their theatres at a price of 15-cent is in line with what they tagged as “Movies in 2020 at 1920 prices.”

Following the reopening of AMC theatres, Regal Cinemas which is the second-largest chain will also reopen some of its U.S locations on August 21.

As part of its reopening day promotion, AMC will show movies which include; Ghost Busters, Black Panther, Back to the Future, Beauty and the Beast, Bloodshot, Jumanji: The Next Level, I Still Believe, Goonies, Grease, Sonic the Hedgehog.

The 15-cent promotion price will also apply to these movies listed here, which is in commemoration of their 100th anniversary.

It was also confirmed that AMC will be debuting Disney’s “The New Mutant” on August 28 and Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” on September 3. Apart from these movies, some others are set to be viewed in their theatres, some of which include “Unhinged” as well as “Personal History of David Copperfield”.

The reopening of AMC theatres would not be in all states, as states like California and New York have not permitted movie theatres to reopen.
