“Host a personal screening for one or make it a private party for up to 20 people total!,” AMC says on its website. “It’s perfect for an everyday escape or a celebration to remember.”
Starting at $99, moviegoers can reserve an entire AMC auditorium.
The company has been unable to host showings during the pandemic in many of the biggest markets in the United States since March.
“In compliance with these restrictions, all of our theatres worldwide have temporarily suspended operations through June,” the company said in the filing earlier this year. “During this period, we are generating effectively no revenue.”
Even if they could open, many studios are delaying the release of their films until further notice.
“We have to prepare for the inevitability that one, or more, of the major chains may not survive if this situation continues to lurch into next summer,” senior analyst at entertainment research firm Exhibitor Relations Jeff Bock told CNN. “The number of movie theaters that will close on a permanent basis will be directly proportional to how long it takes the US to stomp out the virus.”

Jennifer Lopez Clashes With Paparazzi in Fiery Hamptons Showdown, “Get Away from Me and the Kids!”
Jennifer Lopez was caught in a dramatic showdown with paparazzi during a recent Hamptons getaway with her children. The star’s frustration was palpable as she demanded photographers leave her and her kids alone, shouting, “Get away from me and the kids! Go away!”
The intense moment was shared by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, where Lopez’s fans quickly rallied to her defense. One commenter noted, “Y’all clearly hear her say ‘get away from me and the kids’… she’s just protecting her children.” Another added, “The internet’s been so harsh on her lately. Give her a break. This new generation is just weird.”
The incident followed a heartwarming Instagram post by Lopez featuring a sweet photo of her and her twins, Max and Emme, captioned, “My whole heart.” While Lopez was enjoying the East Coast, her husband, Ben Affleck, remained in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Affleck’s daughter, Violet, recently visited Lopez on the East Coast.
In related news, Lopez has canceled her This Is Me… Live tour, which was set to include 30 summer shows. The cancellation, rumored to be due to sluggish ticket sales, was framed by Lopez as a need to focus on family. She assured fans, “I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time.”
