Major movie theater chains are ditching their face mask requirements.

AMC, Regal, and Cinemark all say fully vaccinated customers no longer have to wear a mask inside their theaters.

For others, masks will currently be "strongly encouraged" but can be removed when eating or drinking.

Theaters say they will continue other COVID-19 health safety measures, including reduced capacity and enhanced cleaning procedures.

And employees will be required to wear face coverings.
