The Olympics are a spectacle, from the dazzling opening ceremony filled with pomp and circumstance to the individual competitions showcasing the world’s most elite athletes competing for their countries. Watching the games is a thrill we all look forward to.
The Paris Olympic Summer Games are set to kick off on Friday, July 26, running through Sunday, August 11, 2024. If you are like most of us and unable to attend live in Paris – you now have more exciting options than ever. What if you could catch your favorite events on the big screen at AMC Theatres? For the first time, AMC Theaters has exclusively teamed up with NBC to let you do just that, the event is called NBC Watch Parties.
How can I watch NBC’s Paris Olympic Summer Games Opening Ceremony on a big screen?
For the first time, AMC Theatres is offering customers the chance to watch the Olympic opening ceremony in IMAX…live. Obviously, the time change between France and the U.S. makes the opening ceremony a morning or daytime event. For example, in Los Angeles the live IMAX opening begins at 10:30 a.m, while in New York it begins at 1:30 p.m. Also note that the opening ceremony presentation will be 3 hours and 30 minutes long.
So why not gather your friends and family and watch the Olympic Opening ceremony on July 26, in IMAX? Tickets are available online with a choice to purchase and reserve a specific seat. Private theatre rentals are available for this event, reach out to your local AMC to discuss rates and availability.
