AMC Theatres postpones reopening again in U.S. amid pandemic

LOS ANGELES, July 23 (Xinhua) -- AMC Theatres, the largest U.S. movie theater chain with Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group owning a majority stake, announced Thursday that it will again postpone reopening as the number of new COVID-19 cases is growing at an alarming rate in some states in the country.

AMC said in a press release that the company is currently planning to reopen its U.S. movie theatres in mid to late August. AMC had previously planned to resume theater operations at approximately 450 U.S. locations on July 15 and then delayed reopening to July 30 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
