“Masks will not be required unless mandated by state and local guidelines. However, Regal’s website says “vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks or socially distance, the movie theatre industry will continue to meet or exceed state and local public health guidelines.” The company noted that state and local guidelines may vary based by local conditions. Spokespeople for Regal and Cinemark did not respond to Variety’s request for comment. All other aspects of the AMC Safe & Clean policies and procedures, including seat blocking, remain in place at this time.” “Guests who are not fully vaccinated are asked to continue wearing masks. “Consistent with the latest CDC guidance and following consultation with public health experts, AMC Theatres guests who are fully vaccinated are no longer required to wear face coverings at AMC locations, unless it is mandated by state or local ordinances,” AMC said in a statement. All employees at AMC, Regal and Cinemark locations will still be required to sport a face mask.Ĭinema chains are continuing to enforce other COVID-19 safety measures, like social distancing and reduced capacity, as well as enhanced cleaning sanitization protocols, to help stop the spread of the virus. For non-vaccinated customers, masks can be removed when eating and drinking inside the auditorium. In line with CDC guidelines, masks will be optional for inoculated patrons and will be “strongly encouraged” for all others. Movie theater chains, including AMC, Regal and Cinemark, will no longer require fully vaccinated guests to wear face masks.
