I used to spend $15 on a CD that I'd heard ONE song from, in the hopes that I was going to like it.

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.
My money is on "The Cello". Here is why:
* 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.
To the first part, where I live, most of the weeknight movies are $13.50. People like a deal and with inflation everywhere, this is a cheap way to spend a couple of hours outside of your house. And based on the first one, which was mostly a full theater, they have something going.

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.

Quote from SlickDealio :
They still have free early screenings, but those typically do not guarentee a seat and are overbooked. Arrive too late and you might get crap seats or no seats at all. Plus you need to arrive like an hour or more before showtime to see the movie.

See https://gofobo.com/ for free screenings.

This one you are guaranteed a seat and you pick where you sit. No need to line up ahead of time.
I used to be a studio rep for several studios offering free screenings. What a headache. The number one excuse was, "I didn't drive all the way from (enter place I don't care about) so I'm getting in that theater or you can go get the manager (who had zero control since the studio booked the theater)." It was absolutely a give a mouse a cookie situation.

Quote from JollyShow1739 :
I see this as a very odd comment. Its fun to go see something you might not normally pick and its only $5. Not bad for a night out or a fun date night. I've seen a few of these so far and only one movie was bad. So I see it as a win for everyone! https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/smile.gif
I 100% agree. I used to be a studio rep and a film and television critique and even though I started off the hugest film fan, by the end I hated seeing movies. This, for me, is absolute fun. You never know what you're going to get or what kind of value you're going to find in it. It's a cheap date night (for a movie anyway). If you have a club card like the AMC stubs card there are other perks as well.

Quote from surr :
I doubt it. The Cello is a horror film, which might turn off some people, also, AMC has "Scream Unseen" for a preview of unknown horror movies. My guess is Emma Stones's new movie, "Poor Things." It debuts the same day as "The Cello", with a 2 hr 21 minutes runtime closer to what Regal is estimating. While it does have Frankenstein-like elements, it's much more a comedy than anything frightening. Next Goal Wins was also a comedy, so again, it seems more plausible.

FWIW, Emma Stone has some amazing comedic timing. Easy A was hysterical.
