LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13-- AMC Theatres announced Thursday that the largest U.S. movie theater chain with Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group owning a majority stake will reopen next week in the country with one-day-only 15-cent movie ticket pricing. "As part of AMC's Centennial Celebration, all AMC U.S. theatre locations that open on August 20 will offer all available seats for all movies that day for the 1920's admission price of 15 cents each," said the company in a press release. AMC was founded in 1920 with a theater at 12th Street and Grand Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. It is now the largest movie exhibition company in the United States, the largest in Europe and the largest throughout the world with approximately 1,000 theaters and 11,000 screens across the globe. AMC will resume theater operations at more than 100 U.S. locations on Aug. 20. Approximately 300 additional AMC locations around the country are expected to open during the following two weeks, leading to the release of Disney's latest installment in the X-Men Cinematic Universe, "The New Mutants" on Aug. 28 and Warner Bros.' spy film "Tenet" on Sept. 3, according to the company. The company also announced it is bringing back some classic movies, such as a special 10th anniversary edition of Christopher Nolan's "Inception," "Back to the Future," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Black Panther," which will all be priced at only 5 U.S. dollars per ticket after the reopening day but new releases will be at normal current-day pricing. |
