In preparation for its reopening on August 20th, AMC Theatres says it will bring back 15-cent movie ticket prices, which is what they cost at the chain’s first Kansas City location in 1920.
“As our guests return on our first day of resumed operations on August 20, we invite them to join us in celebrating a return to the movies, and in celebrating 100 years of AMC making smiles happen with movies at 1920 prices of only 15 cents each,” AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron said in a statement.
