That's bad science for a few reasons but I'll share two.
One is quite obvious: these are faulty points of comparison. You can't compare a group of people sitting in a contained space for a long duration to much bigger spaces and people passing through them continuously.
The second point hinges on the fact that in 90% of instances, nobody has any idea how particular groups did or didn't get the virus due to the petri-dish like nature of public spaces. So the scarcity of cut-and-dry instances around AC isn't as meaningful as it seems.
And considering there's thousands of restaurants on the brink of going under but still don't practice covid-19 mitigation protocols correctly, you're very naive if you think every or even most AMC's in the country will implement these practices with equal care.

Since when is health political? Ugh stupidity on AMC's behalf. Movie theaters "strongly encouraging" the use of face masks is as useless as movie theaters "strongly encouraging" that you not use your phone during the movie.
AMC are fucking cowards. Blaming this on "politics" is the same company line as a fossil fuel company blaming "politics" when they continue to poison the world.
Worse than the mask rules, though, is the fact AMC plans to reopen at 100% by November for No Time to Die. It's transparent and despicable.
It's funny that Regal and Cinemark managed to avoid most of this blowback but AMC handled it so terribly that it's getting severe backlash. And Tenet is catching some collateral damage in the process.
But I welcome the backlash because the safety standards aren't up to snuff and I hope it certainly makes the studios and theaters consider really carefully just how willing audiences are in regards to coming back to theaters.

I am not an american...I have never heard a single good thing about AMC theatres. (Even outside of the current PR and Safety issues being discoursed about).

I loved my AMC back in Orlando. It was always clean. Never had a problem with projections. Dolby Cinema was the best theater in town. And the AMC IMAX in San Fran is great too. Plus A-List was a movie lovers dream.
