 In partnership with the Autism Society of America , we bring AMC Sensory Friendly Films to families affected by autism on a monthly basis to select communities.

The program provides a special opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the program have their lights up, the sound turned down and audience members are invited to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing!

The idea for the program began with a request from a parent with an autistic child for a special screening at AMC Columbia Mall 14 in Columbia , MD. More than 300 children and parents attended the first screening.

We are thrilled to now offer the program at many locations nationwide — please click here for a complete list of participating theatres. As a leading theatrical exhibition company, we are so proud to be making a difference in the estimated 1.5 million Americans living with an autism spectrum disorder by offering families a chance to see a movie together — often for the very first time.

Upcoming Sensory-Friendly showings* include:

July 17 – Despicable Me
August 7 – Cats & Dogs 2
September 4 – Nanny McPhee Returns
October 2 – Legend of the Guardians – The Owls of Ga’Hoole
November 6 – MegaMind
November 20 – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1
December 11  – The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

*Dates and films are subject to change.
