Say goodbye to peaceful movie theaters. AMC theaters may now allow texting during movies in some of its theaters.

That’s right — those “no talking or texting” warnings before the start of the film may soon be gone, because the CEO of the movie theater chain, Adam Aron, said the company is testing out the new texting policy to appeal to millennials, ABC News reported.

“When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow.’ You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That’s not how they live their life,” Aron told Variety.

Don’t worry, though —not all movie theaters will be ruined. Aron said that AMC will make only specific locations “more texting friendly.” Aron also said that he isn’t going to let a phone’s bright light ruin everyone’s experience; he is keeping traditional movie-watching in mind.

“At the same time, though, we’re going to have to figure out a way to do it that doesn’t disturb today’s audiences,” Aron said. “There’s a reason there are ads up there saying turn off your phone, because today’s moviegoer doesn’t want somebody sitting next to them texting or having their phone on.”

After the announcement received backlash, Aron came to the company’s defense: “Press reported we[‘re] considering a test allowing texts in a very few screens. We know vast majority of audience wants no texting,” Aron said. “If ever, we only would pursue in a way we’d be totally confident all our guests will fully enjoy movie going experience at AMC,” ABC News reported.

AMC released another statement saying the company has no specific time frame as to when these changes would take effect.

“We would only introduce a concept like this when we are totally confident that we can fully satisfy the desires of our current guests,” the statement added.
