Movie theaters in New York City will be permitted to open for the first time in nearly a year on March 5, Gov.

Movie theaters were permitted to open with similar limits in the rest of the state in late October, but New York City was excluded out of concern that the city’s density would hasten the spread of the virus there.

In a statement, AMC’s chief executive, Adam Aron, said the company would open all 13 of its New York City theaters on March 5.

Outdoor amusement parks will be allowed to open with a 33 percent capacity limit in April.

Those establishments will be allowed to reopen at 50 percent capacity with masks required, he said.
