AMC Theaters Are Staying Up For Over 24 Hours for ‘Ico’

AMC Theatres is bracing for one of the biggest Thanksgiving weekends ever at the box office when Sony’s “Ico” opens Tuesday evening.

Seventeen of the theater chain’s locations are scheduled to remain open for more than 72 hours straight to accommodate demand for the opening weekend of the Sony Pictures film, which is expected to break sales records, the Leawood, Kan.-based company said Monday.
