AMC said it will require guests to wear face masks when theaters reopen next month
Regal Cinemas, owned by Cineworld Group Plc, also said it would mandate masks for employees and customers to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
On Thursday, AMC, the world’s largest movie theater operator, had said it would only encourage mask wearing except in states where authorities required it. The policy drew immediate criticism from people who said they would not feel safe if others around them were not wearing masks. AMC said Friday that it had listened to reactions from its customers and scientists and reversed course.
“It is clear from this response that we did not go far enough on the usage of masks,” AMC Chief Executive Adam Aron said in a statement. “As we reopen theatres, we now will require that all AMC guests nationwide wear masks.” AMC plans to reopen 450 theaters in the United States on July 15, and the remaining 150 theaters in the country in time for the opening of Walt Disney Co’s “Mulan” on July 24 and Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” on July 31.
