There’s been a lot of speculation about whether or not AMC could survive the summer since they shut down all of their movie theaters in the U.S. as well as the U.K. due to the current global health crisis.
And while the company had previously announced they would keep their theaters closed until studios began releasing new movies, they are currently working on a plan to reopen as many AMC theaters by July as they can.
CNN reporter @frankpallotta first broke the news via Twitter after AMC’s first-quarter earnings report.
AMC just reported its Q1 earnings.
AMC says it’s “looking forward to welcoming guests to its theatres as soon as it is safe and wise to do so, as well as
being permissible under local, state /provincial and federal guidelines.”— Frank Pallotta (@frankpallotta) June 9, 2020
Some films have had their premieres pushed back, but are quickly approaching. Disney’s Mulan is still slated for a July 24th theatrical release, after being postponed in March. AMC hasn’t shared exactly when they’re hoping to reopen by, but we would expect them to try to be open for the premiere of Mulan.
AMC adds that it is “currently planning to reopen almost all of our U.S. and U.K. theatres in July. Doesn’t give a date.
This is so it can showcase WB’s Tenet, which is slated for July 17, followed by Disney’s Mulan, which is slated for July 24.

AMC will implement several health and safety measures as part of their plan to reopen, including lowering guest capacity, spacing out parties, and enhancing their cleaning procedures — similar to what we saw them doing before closing down. We’ll continue to follow this story as it develops.
