AMC, the nation’s largest movie theater chain, is officially back in business.
As of this weekend, 98% of AMC theaters were open, one year after closing all of its locations during the pandemic.
The company almost didn’t survive the pandemic, flirting with bankruptcy last June.
CEO Adam Aron promises the chain will open with “the highest devotion to the health and safety of our guests and associates”.
Can you remember the last movie you saw in a theater? Will theaters ever fully recover with more and more movies going directly to streaming platforms?
