AMC Entertainment® and the Autism Society of America have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities a special opportunity to enjoy movies in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis. With Sensory Friendly Films, the theaters will have the lights brought up and the sound turned down. Viewers who can’t sit still or stay quiet for the entire show are welcome to join us. Individuals on special diets can even bring their own snacks (but, keep in mind, that AMC popcorn without butter is GFCF!). Feel free to bring friends and relatives.
