AMC Safe & Clean is a set of cleaning protocols and measures that we have implemented to protect the health and safety of our guests and crew.  We designed AMC Safe & Clean with this top priority in mind.

Our new policies are advised by Dr. Joseph Allen, a noted expert and faculty member at Harvard School of Public Health. New, enhanced cleaning procedures have been developed in partnership with the world leader in all things clean, Clorox®

AMC has implemented the following changes to protect moviegoers:

• Enhanced Cleaning Procedures: Common areas and high touch points will be routinely disinfected throughout the day. There will be extra time between movies so that auditoriums can be cleaned between each showtime. Upgraded equipment, including an electrostatic disinfectant sprayer and vacuums with HEPA filters will be used each night. Upgraded MERV 13 HVAC filters will be installed wherever possible.
• Social Distancing Standards: Maintain social distance before, during and after the movie. Signs will be posted throughout the theatre for guidance.
• Simplified Menu: Selections will be temporarily reduced in order to ensure quick service and shorter lines. AMC Perfectly Popcorn, Coca-Cola Freestyle® beverages and other movie treat classics like hot dogs, MovieNachos, and candy will be available. To reduce contact, large popcorn and large fountain drink refills will be unavailable at this time.
• Reduced Auditorium Capacities: To ensure proper social distancing, seating capacities are limited for your safety and the safety of others. These limitations will always meet or exceed state and local regulations.

We have implemented the following changes to protect all at the theatre:

• Daily Health Screenings: Managers and crew will have their temperatures read before starting their shifts. Anyone who has a fever or symptoms is required to self-quarantine until symptom free for at least 72 hours.
• Frequent Handwashing: Our managers and crew will be required to wash their hands routinely for at least 20 seconds.
• Required PPE: Associates will be required to wear masks. Plexiglass shields have also been installed in each theatre at key locations where crew and guests interact.

We know our members really enjoy their perks. Active & birthday rewards that were set to expire during our closure have been extended through 11/30 for guests with home theatres which opened after 10/1.

We have created the ability for you to control when your A-List membership is reactivated, anytime between theatres reopening and July 1, 2021. Please keep checking back to see if your theatre has reopened, and when you feel ready to return to our theatres, simply visit your account on our mobile app or website to reactivate your membership and start making movie reservations immediately.

You will see this new date reflected in your account once the reactivation process has completed.

No, once you reactivate your membership, you will return to monthly billing and the ability to enjoy all the perks of A-List status. If you change your mind, you may cancel your membership by navigating to the Manage My Plan section of your MyAMC account.
