Exciting new upcoming titles include “Tenet” on Sept. 3, “Broken Hearts Gallery” and “Infidel” on Sept. 11, and “The War With Grandpa” on Sept. 18.

Additionally, a new selection of bring-back titles will be available beginning Thursday, including “Inception”, “Jurassic Park”, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, The Rocky Series, “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, “Spider-Man: Far From Home”, “Shrek” and “Sonic: The Hedgehog”, and will be priced at only $5.

And all AMC Stubs members will earn double points on all ticket and food & drink purchases through the end of October.

Adam Aron, CEO and President of AMC Theatres, commented: “We are grateful for the positive feedback we have been receiving about our guests’ desire to see movies on the big screen at AMC, and about our extensive AMC Safe & Clean policies and procedures. Our comprehensive commitment to operating our theatres safely now includes social distancing through limiting ticket sales and automatic seat blocking, seamless contactless ticketing, greatly enhanced cleaning procedures, the availability of hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes throughout our theatres, as well as a mandatory mask policy for all guests and crew members. In addition, we have invested millions for high tech solutions to sanitization and disinfection including electrostatic sprayers, HEPA vacuums and MERV 13 air filters. Guests returning to AMC can do so knowing that we’ve been in constant dialogue with top scientists and experts in public health and cleaning about how best to reopen our theatres in ways that will be responsible and welcoming.”
