AMC Theatres is pushing back its reopening by two weeks after movie studios further delayed two summer blockbuster premieres that could be key to getting people to come back to theaters.
The new timeline will mean AMC theaters will be reopened in time for the August 12 release of Warner Bros’ «Tenet» and the August 21 release of Disney’s(DIS) «Mulan.» Both movies have been repeatedly delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic (Warner Bros and CNN share the same parent company, WarnerMedia).
«We continue to devote extraordinary resources into our plan to operate our theatres with a hyper commitment to the safety and health of our guests and associates,» CEO Adam Aron said in a statement.
The US theaters are the final phase of the company’s global reopening — locations in Europe and the Middle East either reopened in June or will reopen in July.
