AMC Theatres is continuing its cherished tradition of being open on Christmas Day, providing movie enthusiasts with the perfect opportunity to enjoy films during the holiday season. Typically, theaters will open later in the day, around 1 PM, allowing staff to spend the morning with their families before welcoming moviegoers.
Patrons can look forward to a variety of films, including popular sequels like Zootopia 2 and Wicked, along with the eagerly anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. Exciting new releases such as Silent Night, Deadly Night will also be part of the lineup, though viewers are advised to check local showtimes as they may differ by location.
