Capacity will also be capped at 25%, or 100 people per theater. Giant AMC Theatres is opening numerous LA sites, including AMC Century City Monday.

Overseas

*Raya* grossed another $11.5-M for a  global total of $52.6-M. A number of major circuits internationally refused to play the pic after asking for more lucrative terms since *Raya* is also available on Disney+ for a premium price of $30.

The biggest headline at the weekend was *Avatar*, which Saturday once again became the Top-grossing pic of all time at the global box office after getting re-released in China. It reclaimed the crown from *Avengers: Endgame* Saturday besting the $2.8-B mark, compared to $2.797-B for *Endgame*.

*Avatar*'s weekend haul in China was $21-M, according to Disney/20th Century, $6.2-M came from IMAX screens.
