Desperate For Business, AMC Will Rent Out Theaters For Private Screenings
For about $100 — you and up to 19 friends — can rent out one of the chain's theater. You even have access to the concession stand. The price could go higher — depending on the movie.
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Not many people are going to the movies because joining a crowd for a couple of hours indoors is pretty much the definition of a COVID risk. Desperate for some kind of business, the AMC theater chain has a plan. For 100 bucks, you and up to 19 friends can rent a whole theater. You even have access to the concession stand.
