AMC To Reopen Its Lake In The Hills Theater Next Week

LAKE IN THE HILLS, IL — Moviegoers rejoice: AMC Lake In The Hills 12 is set to reopen next Friday.

The AMC Theatres location in Lake In The Hills is one of 35 theaters across the state reopening on Jan. 29, joining another seven that opened their doors on Friday.

In a news release, the movie theater company said it is working with public health and safety experts to ensure its reopening is safe for both staff and customers. Per state requirements, it is also restricting the capacity of each auditorium to 25 percent of its allocated seating.

The theater chain said it is also enforcing mandatory mask-wearing for all patrons inside its theaters and requiring that people in auditoriums practice social distancing. Customers are also required to follow all state and local health mandates.

Theater employees, meanwhile, will thoroughly clean auditoriums between showings and disinfect auditoriums each night, the company said. Some theaters have also been outfitted with MERZ 13 air filters, and hand sanitizing stations and disinfectant wipe dispensers have been dispersed throughout theaters.

AMC Lake In The Hills 12 has already lined up programming for Jan. 29 through Jan. 31. During its first three days back in business, the theater will offer four daily showings of the film “The Little Things.” February programming has not yet been announced.

According to AMC, its Illinois theaters in the coming days and weeks will offer showings of "The Marksman," "News of the World," "Wonder Woman 1984," and "Croods: A New Age." It also plans to offer upcoming artisan titles like "Supernova," starting on Jan. 29, and "Land" and "The Mauritanian" on Feb. 12.
