AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron recently responded to a number of reports that the theater chain was suppressing the recently released
Sound of Freedom film from distributor Angel Studios.
A number of viral videos speculated that AMC Theaters were suppressing the film by shutting off the air conditioning or creating random emergencies that resulted in moviegoers having their tickets refunded.
TikTok user isntsheadaisy shared a video where a woman says, “So I’ve been seeing all over TikTok that people are going to watch the movie the Sound of Freedom and these weird things are happening like random emergency evacuations, the air conditioning not working and having to leave the theater.”
“And I thought, ‘No, that’s probably just something that’s happening in other theaters in other places.’ So I took me and my daughters to go watch the Sound of Freedom today and about an hour and 20 minutes into the movie we get a random emergency evacuation. None of the staff knows what’s going on. The mall wasn’t being evacuated; just the theater. All they did was refund us our money with no explanation.”
She concluded, “But I guess you can call me a conspiracy theorist.”
