So if I'm a cinephile, a nearly 66% discount on a ticket to go so something that I'm probably going to at least moderately enjoy doesn't seem like an awful way to go.
And yes, it is entertainment gambling. Except you're gambling five dollars, not your mortgage or your kid's college fund. Turns out the movie was absolute shit? You'll get your money back in less than an hour at even a minimum wage job.
* 2 hrs in length (matches AMC's vague-ish estimate)
* Rated R
* Release date of 12/8 is 11 days after 11/27. The last early showing (Next Goal Wins) had a release date of 11/17, which was 11 days after the showing date of 11/6.
As for the 2nd part, not just AMC, also Regal Cinemas.
Lots of businesses have loss leaders to get people in the door. I go to a cheap movie on a night they can't normally fill but still pay the same price for the overpriced popcorn and soda so they're doing better. Happy hours, trivia nights, etc, anything that gets people in the door gives them a chance to up sell.

I think they are more vague this time
I checked IMDB's release calendar - closest I came up with for an R rated movie is "Silent Night" 1hr 44 min -release 12/1
Edit: Regal says 124 minutes
Godzilla minus one is 125 minutes but is rated PG13 not R
The Boy and the Heron (Miyazaki Hayao). 124 minutes also PG13

Dunno where you are, but in my area in NJ, we haven't had a "local theater" in over 15 yrs. This is actually a good deal to get out of the house if you have a family with older kids.

But I've done a secret showing of a film from my favorite Japanese director before (Hirokazu Koreeeda) only to discover later that he was in the audience. I felt REALLY bad for being short on sleep. I snore... Hard.
