The Olympics are a spectacle, from the grandeur and grandeur of the opening ceremonies to the individual events that showcase the world’s best elite athletes competing for their countries. Watching the games is a thrill we all look forward to.
The Paris Summer Olympics will open on Friday, July 26, 2024 and run through Sunday, August 11. If, like most people, you can’t watch the live broadcast from Paris, there’s now a more exciting option than ever. What if you could watch your favorite events on the big screen at AMC Theatres? For the first time ever, AMC Theatres has partnered exclusively with NBC to make that happen, and the event is called NBC Watch Parties.
How can I watch the Paris Olympic Summer Games Opening Ceremony? On the big screen?
AMC Theatres offers guests the opportunity to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony live in IMAX. Naturally, due to the time difference between France and the United States, the Opening Ceremony will be held in the morning or afternoon. For example, in Los Angeles, the live IMAX Opening Ceremony will start at 10:30 a.m., while in New York, it will start at 1:30 p.m. The Opening Ceremony presentation will also last 3 hours and 30 minutes.
So why not gather your friends and family and watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony in IMAX on July 26? Tickets are available online and you can purchase and reserve specific seats. Private theater rentals are available for this event, contact your local AMC to discuss pricing and availability.
