AMC Theaters Reopen July 15, No Face Masks Required

According to AMC, if you miss the opportunity to watch a movie on the big screen, you can wait less than a month.

Such as 

, The theater chain announced that it will reopen 450 of its 600 locations on July 15. Surprisingly, there is no need to wear a mask to watch movies, and AMC has taken many measures to ensure that it keeps its distance from society and keeps its customers and employees safe.

At each venue that reopens next month, the audience capacity will be reduced, and there is usually no 30% of seats for each screening. In an auditorium with traditional seating, AMC blocks every other row. For those with AMC special seats, visitors are required to leave a space between them and others.

 AMC plans to implement disinfection of "public areas and high touch points" multiple times a day. The extra time allocated between movie screenings is used to thoroughly clean the auditorium. "Now electrostatic disinfection sprayers and vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters will be used throughout the building. In addition, HVAC filters have been upgraded to MERV13 as far as possible."

A new sign will be used to remind everyone to comply with social distancing standards, and the menu has been temporarily simplified. You can still buy AMC Perfectly popcorn, Coca-Cola Freestyle drinks and "other classic movie snacks", but "in order to reduce exposure, large popcorn and slobber beverage refills are currently not available. For example, napkins, lids, straws and condiments Upon request."

AMC is asking visitors to help by washing their hands consistently, using the hand sanitizer provided frequently, choosing cashless transactions, maintaining social distancing and wearing PPE when PPE is available. Of course, if you have any symptoms of COVID-19, please choose to self-quarantine and delay your visit. However, AMC does want you to watch the movie again because
