AMC Theaters |OT| A-List Subscription Service
- Thread starter Cpt-GargameL
- Start date
I'm assuming you can't buy more than 1 ticket for the same show - that would seem like quite the loophole.
I think this clause in the FAQ probably covers it:
I just would love a couples or family option. I don't even care about getting a discount for more than 1 person - I'd just like the option of having it all on one account for convenience, especially for reserved seating.
I know that MoviePass has a clause where you have to be in the program for 12 months right? I don't think AMC has this, so you can theoretically unsubscribe whenever.
I read in this thread that there is a 3 month commitment.
And I don't know if there have been some rule changes, but my moviepass sub is monthly with no commitment.
This seems like a month to month option after the first three months, who's to say they won't jack up the price as soon as MP goes under?
If we didn't have kids, we would be all over this. We might jump on this once the little can start to go to movies
No. Stubs premiere is included but you only get points for the monthly membership, not for the tickets.
I had this same thought.
This could just be a test experiment and after the summer is over, they'll jack the price to $24.99 or $29.99.
If you have/enjoy premium formats available at your AMC, the monthly fee is probably close to the amount you'd pay for a single showing for one of those.
At first that sounded too expensive but seeing a movie in IMAX or Dolby alone costs about 17 or 18 bucks. I'd have to see more movies that I probably wouldn't see so I wouldn't be wasting money.

Why pass? Isn't it like the best theater chain around? Dolby alone is worth it to me.
Like others in this thread, I wish they would do a couples plan for something like $30-35. I'll use Moviepass till it crashes and burns since it has gotten a lot better once they added Landmark theaters for E-ticket near me and then hop to AMC's service.

Site says if you subscribe, price is guaranteed for 12 months. They could still jack the price up in a few months but at least it seems that you're safe if you get in now.
Yeah, I did consider this... And I do enjoy a few IMAX movies a year, but I'm not sure if it's worth it as there aren't enough big movies that I'd want to see in IMAX to justify the purchase.
That's all true, especially for new big release movies.
I've never had to upload a pic before so i'm guessing it could depend on the theatre? I very rarely watch the same movie twice in theatres but i could understand why that would be a deal breaker for some. And I wish they did offer imax or 3d, but i'm cool with going without it when i could go to a Flix Brewhouse, pay for dinner, and watch a movie for "free" practically.
I hope you can use AMC gift cards to redeem this or if they offer specific gift cards for it. This would be a great gift for some people, including me.
Theres no AMC theatres in nor cal, all the premium formats are run by other companies (regal/cinemark).
Should of elaborated
If I'm going to get a premium seat in the Altamonte Mall AMC, it's definitely going to be Dolby instead of the Liemax (though at least the Liemax offers reserved seating)
Yeah, I think I'm getting it. I already drive 30 minutes to watch a movie. What's another 8 minutes?
My closest AMC is the one in Disney Springs.

Was always curious about MoviePass, and the local theater here is an AMC with assigned seating. Seems like a decent deal overall, but I might wanna wait on more details coming out.
Wow, I really want this...wonder how long it will be before we see something like this in Canada.
No, youll eventually have to upload. They did a test run and then said officially, that everyone will start having to upload a pic of thier ticket. Check your emails.
I've actually been very surprised lately how good crowds have been. I don't know if it's just my luck, but phone use is way down and everyone seems pretty well behaved.
Wait I just googled Cinepass for Canada...and we have something called Sinemia? With a 13 dollar per month for two movies for two people option? For Cineplex?
Okay what. I'm sure I'm reading this wrong.

I may go ahead and do this I think. I'm always using either AMC or Centur theaters for their Dolby and XD showings. Tho this will ruin my usual operating procedure of watching new movies on weekdays early in the morning to beat the loud crowds that wouldn't pay the expensive ticket prices.
If I could do 2 movies a week WITH A GUEST, I'd be down for this.
But $19.99 for 3 movies just by myself? Might as well use movie pass.

I saw Solo at a Dolby Cinema, it looked and sounded incredible, but the ticket was $14. So, yeah, I'm in $20 for a month.
Cineplex is pretty close to a monopoly here, so I am not holding my breath.
This seems like a good deal as I go to AMC quite a bit outside of theater house or indie movies since they never play at AMC. I usually went to showtimes before noon in 2D so I could pay only like 6 bucks a ticket, but if I can go see more things in iMAX or Dolby, with the flexibility of seeing things at whatever time of day, then that just seems like a great deal. I'm signing up Tuesday for the three months to see how it goes. Wish there was a yearly discount.
Edit: I guess I do have some lingering questions, like how does it work when I reserve a ticket for myself and a guest. Do I just pay for the guest, and do I get points for them and not myself? I know it says I dont' get points myself but I'd like to know how it works with a guest. With the amount of movies I want to catch up on next week/end, the first month is going to pay for itself in a day or two.

I guess I don't go often enough anymore (due to crowd's being awful) to tell.
I used to go multiple times a week (during my grad school days I had a perfect 1130-3 gap most days and was walking distance from a theater) but once that was over and I started going at night time with awful crowds I only go like once a year to a regular theater + once to the drive in.
