Yesterday, AMC started detailing its plans to reopen many of its movie theaters next month. The company initially said that it wouldn’t require guests in some areas to wear masks, and it didn’t take long for the backlash to hit. Now, just a day later, AMC has made an abrupt about-face, announcing that it will indeed require customers to wear masks, even in areas where state and local governments aren’t requiring them.
AMC announced its course change in a new statement from CEO and President Adam Aron today. In that statement, Aron notes that the company has been “consulting with top scientists and health experts to create a broad, sweeping, far-reaching health and safety effort to make AMC Theaters safe for our guests and associates” when theaters begin re-opening next month.
