AMC Theatres Presents Sensory-Friendly Films

By Press Enterprise Staff Writer Timothy Guy

 

Muppets Most Wanted
Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures
For families with autistic children, a trip to the movies can be a stressful experience. Seeing a movie at a theater can turn into sensory overload: the sound is way too high and the social norm to be quiet can turn into an impossible task.  AMC Theatres has the answer to that problem: sensory friendly films. Once a month, at select theaters, families can watch a new film with slight changes such as reduced noise, no previews and the ability to make noise and not offend anyone.  The screenings take place once a month at 10 a.m. on Saturdays.  This month the film is "Muppets Most Wanted" on Saturday, March 29.  Read more about this article on The Press Enterprise website.
