HUNTSVILLE — Movie theaters around the area are gearing up for potential unwanted sing-a-longs as “Wicked: Part One” hits theaters Friday.
Ahead of the movie’s release, AMC, the nation’s largest movie theater chain, has been playing an announcement featuring scenes from “Wicked” that re-emphasizes the company’s trademark “silence is golden” reminder before the start of every movie.
AMC has theaters in Huntsville (Valley Bend), Decatur and Florence. “Wicked” is also being shown at Cinemark Bridge Street in Huntsville and Cineplanet 15 in Madison.
Cinemark Bridge Street has no rules against singing specifically, but a spokesman said there is a “common courtesy” rule for its audiences.
A representative from Cineplanet said the theater also doesn’t have a “no singing” specific policy, but one of “respecting the audience.” But, he said there is a “sing-along” version of the movie slated for release next month.
