SENSORY FRIENDLY MOVIES AMC Theatres partners with the Autism Society to offer sensory friendly movies twice a month. During these showings they turn the lights up, and turn the sound down, so guests can get up, dance, walk, shout or sing! Their Sensory Friendly Film program is available on the second and fourth Saturday (family-friendly) and Wednesday evenings (mature audiences) of every month. To view participating theatres and learn more, click HERE. Celebration Cinemas partners with Family Hope Foundation to offer sensory showings.
