AMC, Cinemark Delay Theater Reopening Dates

PITTSBURGH, PA — The two largest theater chains in the Pittsburgh area are delaying the reopening of their multiplexes. AMC and Cinemark both have pushed back opening dates several weeks.

AMC announced that the first round of approximately 450 theater openings will coincide with the
updated August release dates of two anticipated blockbuster movies, Warner Brothers' "Tenet" and Disney's "Mulan."

"Our general managers across the U.S. started working full time again today and are back in their theatres gearing up to get their buildings fully ready just a few weeks from now for moviegoers," CEO Adam Aron said in a statement. "That happy day, when we can welcome guests back into most of our U.S. theaters, will be Thursday, July 30."

The company expects all of its U.S. theaters to be "essentially to full operation" by early August.

AMC operates 634 locations in the United States and Canada. Its western Pennsylvania locations include:

• AMC Waterfront 22, The Waterfront.

• AMC South Hills Village 10, Bethel Park.

• AMC Mt. Lebanon 6, Mt. Lebanon.

• AMC Delmont 12, Delmont.

• AMC Westmoreland 15, Greensburg.

• AMC South Pike 10, Sarver.

• AMC Uniontown 6, Uniontown..

Cinemark had planned to reopen its multiplexes in Robinson and McCandless on July 3, with the Monroeville Mall and Beaver County locations opening on July 10. Cinemark now says the Robinson and McCandless locations will open on July 24; reopening dates for Monroeville and Beaver County have not been determined.
