"NYC Cinema Crisis: Patrons Appalled by Rat Infestation at AMC Theaters"
Patrons at an AMC movie theater in New York City experienced a "disgusting" situation with rats running across their feet, leading to walkouts during screenings. The incident highlights a broader issue in the city, with a 71% increase in rat sightings since 2020. Mayor Eric Adams has declared rats as "public enemy number one," and the city has appointed a "rat czar" to address the problem. AMC and the mayor's office have yet to respond to the incident.
