Some AMC Movie Theaters May Soon Allow Texting

AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron said the movie theater chain will consider making some theaters texting- and mobile device-friendly, in remarks reported in Variety. Movie theaters are one of the few places where cellphone use isn't allowed. Aron said the move would help get millennials back into theaters. “When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear please cut off your left arm above the elbow,” he said. “You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That’s not how they live their life.”
