The company noted it is going to implement rigorous cleaning and safety protocols for the reopening, including reducing auditorium capacities and social distancing. All guests and employees are required to wear masks, while hand sanitizers and disinfecting wipes will be widely available throughout theaters.
"We are thrilled to once again open our doors to American moviegoers who are looking for an opportunity to get out of their houses and apartments and escape into the magic of the movies," said Adam Aron, CEO and President of AMC Theatres in the press release.
AMC suspended operations at all of its domestic and international theaters between Feb. 23 and March 17 in response to COVID-19 safety concerns. The company has resumed operations at more than 130 international theaters but twice postponed reopening in the United States amid the pandemic.
AMC reported last week a net loss of 561 million U.S. dollars in the second quarter due to the pandemic. The company's total revenue in the quarter ending June 30 fell 98.7 percent to 18.9 million dollars from 15.06 billion dollars a year ago.
AMC, Regal Cinemas and other major theater chains suffering financial hardship amid the pandemic are eager to invite audiences to return to the theatrical experience after months-long closure.
"Tenet" and Disney's long-awaited China-set live-action film "Mulan" are hopes of Hollywood and cinema owners to salvage this summer season. But Disney announced earlier this month that "Mulan" will debut online on Sept. 4 rather than in theaters in the United States. The decision is a major blow for U.S. theater owners.
