‘Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé’ Gets Special Rules For AMC Ticket-Buyers, Backlash Ensues

deadline.com:

The lessons of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour film are apparently being applied to the new Beyoncé  screenings. And that’s rubbing some the wrong way.

AMC has published a list of “helpful tips” for the anticipated film audience designed to set expectations. Already, the list is drawing a skeptical eye from social media, with users wondering whether the same standards applied to other concert films. “We want to see your amazing outfits!,” said the site statement. “Feel free to take selfies and group shots to celebrate the occasion and the beautiful ensembles you came up with, but please DO NOT take pictures or record while the film is playing.

Be sure to post your photos on social media with #RENAISSANCETHEFILM.” But the message gets a little less enthusiastic from there. “If parts of your outfit will potentially block other viewers from the screen, please remove them as the film begins (ex.

headwear, wings, etc) and please keep in mind that masks (except for standard face masks used explicitly for health and safety reasons) are not permitted.
