Why AMC Theatres Thinks It Can Stay Open While Other Theater Chains Plan To Close

With Regal deciding to pause operations due to the lack of theatrical content on the horizon, it would be natural to turn one’s eye to the other major chains, AMC and Cinemark, and see what their plans are. At this point, it seems that both are planning to remain open, and AMC’s specific explanation for why it makes sense for the chain to do so is especially interesting because it’s touting the recent agreement it made with Universal, a deal that only came about after AMC vowed to stop screening movies distributed by Universal entirely.
