Social media suggested otherwise.
TEXT:
AMC is opening the doors to 100 locations on Thursday, but the chain will only allow auditoriums to be at 30% capacity. That means that 70% of seats will be left empty during any showtime, which will leave more than enough room between patrons, insiders say. There was never any intention to force perfect strangers to sit next to a seat that had previously been reserved for someone else. In fact, guests will be mandated to engage in social distancing to keep auditoriums free from coronavirus. It may mean, however, that there will be rare circumstances where guests do not end up in the seat they selected online.
AMC told Variety that to ensure the seat blocking technology is implemented without a hitch, the company needed a live ticket sales environment to test the new approach to reservations. It initially planned for a two week trial run, but after a successful launch, it has determined the results are satisfactory to roll out the technology to all theaters that accept reserved-seating nationwide. The rollout to the first wave of theaters should be complete by early this week.

What are your suggestions of how to handle the situation? People criticize, but never have any better solutions. I don't see how society can put everything on hold indefinitely. I don't see how the economy could recover from that. The government can't just keep handing out checks to everyone. We have no idea when a vaccine will be ready. It could be years.

Revert back to drive-in theaters. I am talking about all businesses and jobs, not just movie theaters. I think that is a good suggestion concerning movie theaters, but I am not sure how practical it is.

I still think they’re gonna treat it like the flu after this year. I do believe that is possible depending on what happens between now and then. The difference is obviously that the flu has a vaccine and COVID is deadlier and easier to spread. That is what I have seen based on the statistics anyway.

Also I’m hearing we could have a vaccine in January. |

A vaccine would obviously change the entire situation.

I don't see how society can put everything on hold indefinitely. I don't see how the economy could recover from that. It won’t. Things are bad but I think it’s gonna get worse. In fact, I’m almost certain that the economy is gonna tank worse than it already is. |

Because instead of treating this as just another flu people wanna keep everything shut down. We CAN NOT KEEP EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN!!! |

If people want to reopen, that’s their decision. Let the people who want to be hermits continue being hermits but keeping everything shut down isn’t healthy. Honestly when you really get down to it that’s exactly what it sounds like. |

Because this isn’t going to be the new normal as much as YOU may want it to be. Also hasn’t the economy always been in the shitter every election year? Let’s not act like this is any different. The only reason it’s really bad this time around is cause everything was shut down. But I’m hearing stage theaters and stuff are coming back next year. |
