It’s showtime! AMC Theaters said it will have 98% of its US movie theaters open on Friday. Even more theaters are expected to open by March 26.

AMC said more than 40 of its locations in California are reopening on Friday and will open 52 of its 54 locations by Monday.

The company is preparing to resume operations at the rest of its California locations once the proper local approvals are in place. AMC previously opened more than 500 of its theaters elsewhere around the country.

Some movie theaters have opened over the past few months with limited capacity and enhanced safety protocols.
