AMC is selling movie tickets for 15 cents — but is it safe to go to theaters? (via CNBCMakeIt)
When more than 100 AMC movie theaters around the country, ticket will only cost 15 cents a piece — a big discount on the average how much tickets cost before the Covid-19 pandemic.
The opening-day promotion is a nod to the price of a movie ticket when the chain first opened in the 1920's, and presumably, a way to get audiences back into hard hit movie theaters. Throwback movies like "Grease" and "Back to the Future," and in the weeks following, new releases like "Tenet" and "The New Mutant" will be available.
and being in a crowd is considered a high-risk activity, meaning the situation increases your risk of exposure to Covid-19.for all moviegoers. However, AMC says you can remove your mask in order to eat or drink inside the theater, which could be problematic because it even for a short time allows people to spread respiratory droplets in the theater. Covid-19 can also be transmitted by touching an infected object, and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
AMC theaters will also only be filled at 30% capacity, and every other row of seats will be blocked off to ensure social distancing. Between shows, the entire auditorium will be sprayed with a disinfectant and high-touch surfaces will be cleaned. And AMC has upgraded HVAC systems with MERV 13 filters "wherever possible," according to the theater's website.
