They are among the more than 100 cinemas AMC Entertainment plans to open, about a sixth of its nationwide locations.
And with throwback pricing for a day.
All tickets are selling for 15 cents, the same price as it was when the chain first opened in 1920.

During its opening-day promotion, AMC will show catalog films, including "Ghostbusters," "Black Panther," "Back to the Future" and "Grease." Those older films will continue to play afterward for $5.
AMC, the nation's largest movie theater chain, confirmed that Disney's much-delayed "New Mutants" will debut in theaters Aug. 28, with Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" to follow Sept. 3.
Theaters will have reduced capacity along with social distancing standards.
"Please remember to social distance before, during and after the movie. Directional signs and reminders will be posted throughout the theater for guidance," AMC's website reads.
Masks will also be required for employees, guests and vendors.
"Because we care about your health, masks are required for guests and crew throughout the theatre. Your mask must cover your nose and mouth and fit snugly around your face and chin. Neck gaiters, open-chin bandanas and masks with vents or exhalation valves are not acceptable at this time, based on World Health Organization guidelines. If needed, masks are available to purchase for just $1," the website states.

The theater chain changed its position on mask-wearing back in June, less than a day after the company became a target on social media for saying it would defer to local governments on the issue.
