When I go to an AMC feature, I will certainly be wearing a mask and leading by example.
“Face masks are not political,“wroteDoctor Sleepfilmmaker Flanagan on Twitter in response.
“@AMCTheatres, hey reconsider this decision to intentionally endanger your own customers.”
“I worked at Cineplex Odeon in Bowie, MD through high school,” Flanagan wrote later.
“My first job, I loved it.
Customers could be tough, some messes I cleaned were INSANE.
And thats WITHOUT the possibility of a customer giving you a potentially fatal disease to take home.
AMC employees deserve better.”
“Suggesting that ‘mask or no mask’ is a political one is pathetic,“wroteLogandirector Mangold.
“It’s public health.”
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdomdirector JA Bayona responded to the news with threefacepalming emojis.
