AMC Theatres will reopen in the U.S. on Aug. 20 with retro ticket prices of 15 cents per movie.
AMC Theatres, the nation’s largest movie theater chain, will reopen in the U. S. on Aug.20 with retro ticket prices of 15 cents per movie. AMC Entertainment, which owns the chain, said Thursday that it expects to open the doors to more than 100 cinemas — or about a sixth of its nationwide locations — on Aug.20 with throwback pricing for a day. AMC has reopened in numerous international countries but has remained closed in the U. S. since March. The chain touted the reopening as «Movies in 2020 at 1920 Prices.»After several false starts due to a summer rise in coronavirus cases throughout much of the U. S., widespread moviegoing is currently set to resume in late August. Regal Cinemas, the second largest chain, is set to reopen some U. S. locations on Aug.21. During its opening-day promotion, AMC will show catalog films, including «Ghostbusters,» «Black Panther,» «Back to the Future» and «Grease.» Those older films will continue to play afterward for $5. AMC confirmed that Disney’s much-delayed «New Mutants» will debut in theaters Aug.
