AMC Theaters set to reopen at 1920 ticket prices
ATLANTA - One of the biggest industries to shut its doors during this pandemic has been the movie theaters. But AMC Theatres are reopening in 2020, but adding a 1920 twist.
The average ticket price last year – and we are doing last year since we haven’t really been going to movies in 2020 – was close to $10. Add in a few family members, added price for peak times, and concessions, and boy, that’s an expensive night of fun.
To encourage movie-goers to head back to the movie theater, AMC is beginning to reopen starting Thursday. But here’s what they’ve done to sweeten the pot. Tickets are at their 1920 price of 15 cents. Yep, so empty the change jar.
Eight area AMC theaters are in the first phase of re-opening. They hope to have two-thirds ready for movies by Sept. 3.
