r/AMCsAList on Reddit: Bed bugs at AMC Empire
October 5, 2024 -

Went to the Wicked Sing Along yesterday (theater 25) and halfway into the movie, my neck started being itchy. I didn't think much of it but it continued to itch through the evening and I finally checked this morning to see a bunch of bites in my neck and upper back area (the only areas that were somewhat exposed) that are characteristic of bed bugs. The seats are still the old red fabric ones. I was row J. Be careful guys!

Edit: I just saw a tweet saying mad people got bed bugs from Wicked Sing Along and Nosferatu. Seems like it's everywhere.

Edit 2 (12/31): I just emailed the NYC councilman for District 3 and the NYS senator for that part of the city. If anyone has direct AMC sources, please DM me.

Bed bugs at AMC Empire
Unfortunately that has always been an issue with that location. They have shut down a few times to clean before the pandemic. They’re supposed to remodel and get plush rockers. But either it’s delayed or they have not got an actual timeline of when it is supposed to start. More on reddit.com

Bedbugs back at AMC Empire 25 - New York City Forum - Tripadvisor
December 20, 2011 - The doctor looked at the pattern of the bites and asked if she had stayed in a hotel recently because they were, in his opinion, insect bites, and most likely bedbug bites. The same pattern of bites appeared on the other person's arm, with a less severe rash. There are no signs of infestation in either home, so fortunately the bugs seem to have remained in the theater.
