"AMC does not permit weapons or items that would make other guests feel uncomfortable or detract from the movie-going experience. Guests are welcome to come dressed in costume, but we do not permit masks or face paint," the statement reads, in part.

An AMC spokesperson says its their policy all the time and for every movie, and has been for a number of years, without any significant negative feedback from guests.

CBSPhilly has also reached out to Regal Theaters and Cinemark about their costume policy and is awaiting a response.
