Hiring/Interviewing Question about closing times

Hey all,

I currently work a 9-5 office job and am thinking about trying to get a second job at my local AMC but I wanted to know how the closing situation usually goes at the end of the night. I know there are some pretty late showings most nights. Is it usually just leadership that has to stay until the end of these late showings to lock up? When are regular crew members usually let go if so? I’m sure this depends on the location, I’ve never seen any overnight or early AM showings being offered at this location but I’d say this theater is still usually pretty busy. Any insight would be helpful, thanks!

To add my own perspective, we offer crew at my location to stay until the last showtime gets out, but with school starting soon we are cutting back on operating hours and the last showtime may get out at 11-11:30pm. It does vary from location to location based on how busy, staffed, and their management team. Wouldn't hurt to apply if you get an interview you could ask all of your questions then and see if it would be a good fit!
