AMC Theaters will do anything to get you in their seats for “F9: The Fast Saga,” even if that means giving out free snacks.

The cinema chain announced Monday that all moviegoers will have access to “all you can eat” popcorn with the purchase of any size tub starting Tuesday as part of Cinema Week, a fun-filled promotion to convince people that theaters are safe again.

“One of the things that we all missed the most about being at the movies was that irresistible movie theatre popcorn,” said Elizabeth Frank, AMC’s executive VP of worldwide programming and chief content officer, said in a statement.

Cinema Week will also include exclusive in-theater content, giveaways and special guests, as well as special screenings of “F9” and Disney’s upcoming documentary “Summer of Soul.” All events are subject to the specific theater.

“A few weeks ago in Los Angeles, movie theater owners, 13 movie studios, and talented filmmakers got together to tell you ‘The Big Screen is Back’,” John Fithian the president and CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners, said in a statement. “With pandemic cases falling, vaccinations rising, movie theaters in all major markets opening to 100 percent capacity, and big, crowd-pleasing titles being released all summer long, we’re keeping our word — with the kick-off of Cinema Week, The Big Screen is Back.”

The popcorn promotion will last until June 30.
