AMC To Close U.S. Chain For 6 To 12 Weeks Due To Coronavirus Concerns

including such chains as Landmark Theatres, Cineplex Odeon, and Alamo Drafthouse being down. The only ones we haven’t heard from is Cinemark.

Exhibition never wanted to close down, even after weathering a historical low at the box office last weekend. But this isn’t like the Great Depression. Governments are requiring people to stay at home in this coronavirus scare, and thus, it’s impossible for anyone to head to the theater. And so U.S. exhibition, much like China’s during the winter, must take a pause.

AMC is temporarily stopping all A-List memberships for the time that their theatres are closed, with no billing or payments occurring. “Members will be notified prior to this pause expiring and will have the option to choose to extend the pause for another month if they so desire. Additionally, any A-List member who did not renew their membership any time so far in calendar year 2020 will not have to wait the customary 6 months to rejoin,” read a statement.

The chain encouraged its attendees “to utilize AMC Theatres On Demand, which allows them to rent or buy movies from a selection of more than 3,500 titles, including recent and popular titles from every major studio.” AMC Theatres On Demand can be accessed online or through the exhibtor’s mobile app or Smart TVs.
