AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor
in the United States, in Europe & the Middle East and the
world, today announced that more than 500 AMC locations would be
operating by mid-October, as the Company plans to resume operations
at 23 locations in North Carolina during the coming weeks. Combined
with the recent announcement of reopenings in California and
Michigan, AMC anticipates reopening 37 theatres in the first three
Fridays of October.
On October 9, AMC will reopen 12 of its highest-volume theatres
in North Carolina, followed by an additional 11 locations on
October 16. The full list of reopenings and timing can be found
below.
Moving past more than 500 reopened theatres is a significant
milestone for AMC, which closed all its 600-plus theatre circuit in
March. AMC will reopen its remaining theatres once authorized to do
so by state and local officials. All reopened AMCs stringently
enforce AMC Safe & Clean and follow all local guidelines and
directives.
AMC CEO Adam Aron commented: “We continue to be highly
encouraged to be able to welcome even more guests back to the magic
of moviegoing, at AMC locations in North Carolina. We continue to
reopen responsibly. The feedback we’ve received from our guests
indicate that our AMC Safe & Clean policies and protocols are
working exactly as intended. We’re seeing record-high guest scores
for the cleanliness of our theatres, far exceeding the marks we’ve
received in the decades we’ve been tracking guest feedback. AMC
Safe & Clean is the cornerstone of our efforts to woo back
moviegoers to cinemas. Our AMC Safe & Clean protocols feature
social distancing, mandatory mask wearing, the easy availability of
disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer, along with high tech
solutions like electrostatic sprayers, HEPA vacuums and enhanced
air filtration through MERV 13 filters, as well as numerous other
new safety and cleanliness procedures.”

AMC SAFE & CLEAN
Upon returning to the movies, AMC guests can expect to
experience AMC’s comprehensive health and sanitation program: AMC
Safe & Clean, which was developed under advisement of current
& former faculty of Harvard University’s prestigious School of
Public Health as well as the No. 1 U.S. cleaning brand, The Clorox
Company.
AMC Safe & Clean components include significant reductions
in the maximum tickets available for each showtime and seat
blocking in reserved seating auditoriums to allow for appropriate
social distancing between parties, enhanced cleaning procedures
that include extra time between showtimes to allow for a full,
thorough cleaning and nightly disinfecting utilizing electrostatic
sprayers, use of high tech HEPA vacuums, upgraded air filtration
efforts including the use of MERV 13 filters wherever possible, new
guest and associate safety protocols that include mandatory mask
wearing by all guests and associates, hand sanitizing stations
throughout the theatre and the availability to guests of
disinfectant wipes. The entire AMC Safe & Clean plan can be
