AMC Theatres: AMC Stubs A-List Membership for $0.99 for First Month (3-Months Required)

Huh. A hair over $50 for 3 movies a week for 3 months.

Outside of being invited to a birthday party in 2021 where the theater was rented out, I haven't been out to the movies in about 10-12 years. How much is a ticket these days? I remember grabbing a matinee for $4.50 back in 2005 and the last matinee I saw was $6.50 (whatever year Rock of Ages, with Tom Cruise, came out).

While 40 movies for $50 sounds good on paper, how many "good" movies would we expect to see over the next 3 months? Could you actually get the value out of this deal? You'd probably need at least 4 "good" movies to break even? Maybe even make a day out of it and grab a bucket of popcorn and soda, catch the other 2 movies and get the most bang for buck?

I have purchased a movie ticket for full price for March 16. Is it possible to get my ticket price included in this?

If only there were enough movies worth seeing. Not sure if it's the writers strike, the season, or just Hollywood finds it more profitable to issue sequels and remakes than new material. While there have been some good titles, it seems there's just not much.

totally agree. I freakin love going to the movies but I'm on a long not going streak right now. They need to bring back Godzilla minus one minus color to get me back.

might as well bring back casablanca and citizen kane too lol

no one is going watch old re-released movies bro ..

re-released barely make a blip on box office earnings ,,

maybe big movies like star wars , titanic or avatar - but thats it

Old? This movie was 2 months ago, Haha. And dude, many old school re-releases do huge business.

Remember, if you sign up for it, you are in for 3 months minimum.
So 2 months at full price.

You can cancel after a month but they will not let you sign up again for two more months

My local AMC looks like an abandoned building urban explorers on Tiktok go through. I'm literally not kidding. This is a no for me. For the first time in my life, my home theater is actually nicer than the theater.

Movie theaters are dying. I hate to say it. I remember when the bigger movie theater in town had a ton of people working concessions and cleaning on a weekend. I have a refillable popcorn bucket and go in every Friday now. The managers are running concessions and like one regular employee is assisting them. It's so depressing. The owner of the chain seemed like a fun guy who loved his movies. I know he's rich, but it's sad to see his dream fizzle away like this.

I don't think so.
If you cancel anytime, even after the three months, they won't let you sign up again for like 6 months.
This might have changed since movies have been so bad lately.
But if you cancel after signing up, the cancel date is three months later, not one month.
From their website:

A three-month commitment is required. Discount applies to first month only and will appear during checkout on the 'Confirm Purchase' screen.

AMC took over a Sears Super Store and turned it into a huge AMC just around the scamdemic. It now looks just like that. I never even got to go once to check it out.

I would think millions wasted. We watch movies at home now.

After checking it looks like it is open but when you drive by you would never know it.

AMC DINE-IN Tech Ridge 10

Think I've been once into a non- "fine arts" movie theatre in the past decade. $5 ticket promo. Barely anyone there, and of those who were there about 10% of them were actively on their phones texting and checking the web as though they were on the toilet at work. Others talking loudly with no regard for people who were actually there to watch a movie. It was 2 hours of unwelcome constant distraction from what used to be a pleasurable distraction.

American culture is becoming more and more feral. I don't think these people are doing this intentionally, it's just that they have grown up without being potty trained for society. Same with losers who blast music or YouTube or phone calls without a headset and/or making everyone hear their conversation in restaurants and other intimate spaces.

So many commercial American movies are trite and predictable anyway, seems that's why gimmicks like flashy special effects with no point, franchises, etc. are brought in to make up for the fact art is slowly strangled to death by capital resulting in empty images without meaningful story. And always a damn happy ending, so boring and rarely do you leave a theatre with any lasting impact. Junk food eaten on a dirty curb is more nutritious to the soul.

Rant off. If I'm reading this correctly, this is a $51 cost to see nearly any movies you want over 90 days. If it covers IMAX and your local theatre has a good selection that changes often, I can seeing this as slick (as long as you can deal with all the feral patrons).

Heck, if I were homeless I'd say $51 total to have a climate controlled comfortable seat available to me at least 12 hours a day for 90 days is probably the slickest deal here. That's 56 cents per day for shelter, with optional leftover free food to be had- or just buy an everlasting popcorn bucket.

Who cares if they won't let you sign up again for 6mo? 1 month for .99 cents sounds good. Make a new account if you really want to sign up again.
