AMC Sets New Rule Ahead of Wicked Movie Release: No Singing Allowed

Wicked fans who are eagerly awaiting the release of the beloved musical in theaters may want to think twice before belting out those iconic songs during the movie. AMC Theatres has introduced a new rule designed to ensure that everyone enjoys the movie experience without disruptions—especially for those who might be tempted to sing along.

As part of their efforts to preserve the magic of the movie theater experience, AMC has started airing a pre-movie ad with a simple but clear message: “At AMC Theatres, silence is golden. No talking. No texting. No singing. No wailing. No flirting. And absolutely no name-calling. Enjoy the magic of movies.”

The warning is particularly relevant for Wicked, a musical known for its memorable songs and devoted fan base. The franchise’s catchy tunes, like “Defying Gravity,” have become anthems for many, but AMC wants to make sure that the movie experience remains enjoyable for all attendees. As much as fans may want to belt out their favorite lyrics, AMC is urging moviegoers to refrain from singing, talking, or any other actions that could distract from the on-screen experience.

The theater chain’s stance comes as part of a larger effort to maintain respect for the shared viewing experience, especially for those who prefer to experience the film in a quieter, more immersive way.

So, if you’re planning to see Wicked at an AMC theater, remember: enjoy the movie, but leave the singing to the professionals on the screen. The theater is meant to be a space for everyone to enjoy the magic of cinema—without any disruptions.
