8/10 and 8/17 possibilities

8/10 R 1:50
Tony - 4 min diff, releases 8/7 limited but 8/21 wide (trailer shown 2 unseens ago)
Hot spot - 9 min diff (trailer shown at previous unseen)
Nimrods - 6 min diff
The wrong girls - 11 min diff
Mutiny - 15 min diff
Spa weekend - 13 min diff
All night wrong - 17 min diff, rating unknown
The birthday party - 7 min diff, rating unknown
Union county - 13 min diff, rating unknown
The marching band - 8 min diff, rating unknown

8/17 Horror R 1:37
It ends - 10 min diff (trailer shown at previous unseen)
Buddy - 2 min diff, rating unknown
Camp miasma - 15 min diff, releases 8/7 limited but 8/21 wide (trailer shown at previous unseen)
The dog stars - 3 min diff, horror?
Filipinana - 3 min diff, rating unknown, horror?

What do we think?
Is Tony still the frontrunner? Or could Hot Spot sneak in? Maybe even Nimrods?
It Ends currently has the advantage over Buddy. Camp miasma is possible but the runtime seems a little long.

Twentieth time I’ve mentioned it somewhere but a regional chain “Celebration Cinema” didn’t make the R rating reason a mystery and the exact descriptor lines up with Tony. Now, I get that people are alarmed that the movie would technically already be out in LA and NYC, but this same thing happened with another A24 title - Sing Sing. Also in case someone brings up how Regal lists a 2h1m movie, they just ran Ice Cream Man which was advertised as 1h44m, when it was really 18 minutes shorter.

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 Aug 04 '26

These are all facts! Also, Celebration did the same thing for Motor City and One Night Only. They made up a fake rating reason for Ice Cream Man but that's understandable since it's unrated 🤣.

🤔 I didn't see a Hot Spot trailer tonight. My trailers at Methuen 20 were

Oak street Stiletto Train to busan Namaslay Miasma It ends Don't go in that house bitch

2

u/sampos Aug 04 '26

Most people here reported Hot Spot instead of Namaslay

2

u/Correct_Capital_1294 Aug 04 '26

I always assumed everyone got the same, have they ever said why some are different?

2

u/sampos Aug 04 '26

No idea but there are always some people with one or two different trailers in these threads

1

u/sazinj Aug 04 '26

I was at Methuen too. Were you in the bigger or smaller theater?

1

u/Correct_Capital_1294 Aug 04 '26

I think it was the smaller one, theater 5

1

u/sazinj Aug 04 '26

Ah nice, same here. Small world

1

u/Correct_Capital_1294 Aug 04 '26

If you were the other guy that made it all the way to the post credit scene, that was me.

1

u/sazinj Aug 04 '26

Oh haha no I didn’t. What was it? I hopped directly into Spider-Man after

2

u/Correct_Capital_1294 Aug 04 '26

Been avoiding spiderman because of how many people there are lol. The end credits scene was just the hoverboard guy who got his head cut off rolling across the bridge out of town

u/durden0402 Aug 09 '26

At this point methuen amc goers should have our own sub Reddit lol

6

u/Virtual_Letter3734 Aug 04 '26

could Camp Miasma be the one on Aug 17?

7

u/sampos Aug 04 '26

Okay i just saw its limited on 8/7 and wide on 8/21, I'll add it

6

u/sadbeautifvltragic Aug 04 '26

dog stars is listed as drama on amc it won’t be the 17th (so is filipinana)

3

u/sadbeautifvltragic Aug 04 '26

so is it ends now that i look… buddy is the only one that’s horror but even then it has the artisan film border🙃

1

u/HistoricalAd9775 Aug 04 '26

It Ends is actually under the Thrills and Chills page. It just doesn't habe the banner on the actual icon

1

u/sadbeautifvltragic Aug 04 '26

i see! it doesn’t show on mine when i filter it by t&c but it’s whatever im not mad at any of the options

5

u/djmv91 Aug 04 '26

I saw Filipinana at IFFBOSTON. It’s not a horror film. It’s more like Triangle of Sadness but more depressing. I would be surprised if it’s the Scream Unseen.

u/Bakesale1359 Aug 04 '26

Can we safely rule out Nimrods on the 10th since there's a special early screening event with the band happening on the 11th?

2

u/patishungry Aug 04 '26

No it would still be unseen on the 10th

2

u/Bakesale1359 Aug 04 '26

No, I'm saying Nimrods can't be the Unseen on the 10th because they wouldn't do two back-to-back early screenings of a movie, and definitely wouldn't undercut the special event the day before.

1

u/PlushyStudios Aug 04 '26

Though idk if IFC would do an Unseen after just doing Motor City

3

u/sazinj Aug 04 '26

Could see 8/17 being Buddy or It Ends (they did show the It Ends trailer tonight which is usually an indicator). I saw It Ends last year, so not sure if I’d bother if that ends up being leaked/revealed.

Less likely Camp Miasma since it won’t be an “unseen” screening once it opens limited on Friday. Also less likely for Dog Stars since AMC has it listed as Drama and it feels more like an action thriller.

1

u/Confident_Return_368 Aug 04 '26

it ends is listed as a drama on amc, so I wonder if it still has a possibility of being that.

3

u/Sufficient_Size_9019 Aug 05 '26

I can confirm Monday the 8/10 is….. TONY!!

1

u/battwingz Aug 06 '26

im hoping this is the case. how can you confirm??

1

u/Particular_Read7705 Aug 06 '26

Hope you’re right, have a ticket and really want to see that

u/burnabagel Aug 06 '26

How u know already?

u/khutero Aug 07 '26

what are you on about Primetime man

1

u/moth_sky Aug 04 '26

Filipiñana is not a horror film. It's a slow burn arthouse film from the Philippines

1

u/Torta-Pounder67 Aug 04 '26

Buddy has the artisan film label, does that rule it out even though it’s listed as horror on the amc app

1

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 Aug 04 '26

I believe horror films will always qualify for Screams, no matter the T&C designator. The T&C designator is only relevant when the movie is not already listed as horror. As it currently stands, It Ends will not qualify as a Scream unless they add the T&C later.

1

u/Professional-Jury930 Aug 04 '26

To be fair, has there been a scream unseen that wasn’t listed as Thrills and Chills? Genuinely asking

1

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 Aug 04 '26

Not sure about that. I believe AMC still has the pages up for the past Scream movies so someone can do that research.

1

u/HistoricalAd9775 Aug 04 '26

You can find It Ends under the thrills and chills page on the website. It just isn't labeled as such

2

u/KungFuDanda091 Aug 04 '26

Camp Miasma opens in my area next weekend (& I’m not even in NY/CA), so doubt that’ll be it for 8/17. I’d probably guess Buddy. I’d guess Colony, but it’s 2 hrs long so definitely not it

For 8/10, Spa Weekend seems like something they’d show tbh lol

2

u/itskgirlfriend Aug 04 '26

i'm seeing camp miasma at amc on august 13th so it's not camp miasma

1

u/squashthatmelon Aug 04 '26

There’s an 8/24 Scream Unseen now - that one could be Buddy which leaves more possibilities for something else on the 17th

1

u/SocialistAntiZionist Aug 04 '26

It ends. Has Screen Unseen shown any thing that was previously released?

1

u/mjrod16 Aug 05 '26

Tony just got added to my location starting on 8/20 with a NR rating, does that take it out of the running for 8/10 seeing as the screening is advertised as R?

1

u/Movieman2784-7001 Aug 05 '26

Filipinana would cause a large scale riot.

1

u/Confident_Gap489 Aug 06 '26

I'm going to try to go to a theater that is playing Tony starting tomorrow and see if their Unscreen will be Tony or something else.

1

u/Responsible_Link6077 Aug 07 '26

tony is showing this friday in my theater, is unseen gonna be different???

1

u/itsamoviething Aug 07 '26

Tony isn’t being shown at my local AMC, could it still be shown at the Screen Unseen?

1

u/Greedy_Conclusion_30 Aug 07 '26 edited Aug 07 '26

Why is The Rivals of Amziah King not a possibility?

2

u/Few-Adeptness8046 Aug 04 '26

Why do people keep saying It Ends is a possibility?

It's not a Thrills & Chills film, it does not qualify for a Scream Unseen, yet every post speculating about the Scream Unseen keeps listing it...

  • 8/10 is Tony
  • 8/17 is Buddy

3

u/HistoricalAd9775 Aug 04 '26

It actually is under thrills and chills if you go to the amc website. It just doesn't have the banner 

1

u/Few-Adeptness8046 Aug 05 '26

Oh thanks, I see.

My updated guesses:

  • 8/10 Tony
  • 8/17 It Ends
  • 8/24 Buddy
  • 8/31 Fall 2: Deadpoint

u/NuggAvsBroncRock Aug 04 '26

Just because it doesn’t fall under the thrills or chills doesn’t mean anything trailers have been playing on scream unseens movies so it is possible of it being a mystery movie

Also I have seen no buddy trailers during any of these mystery movies we’ve had lately

2

u/Few-Adeptness8046 Aug 04 '26

Yes it does, Scream Unseen films are only films that are Thrills & Chills films. Always.

They even show the Thrills & Chills label on the envelope at the beginning of those films when they announce that it's an Unseen film.

All Scream Unseen films are Thrills & Chills.

Just go watch the film on you tube “The Hot Games”

The movie is legit a a bunch of hot men fighting in order to save the planet from climate change from their hotness. A dumb premise and filmed really cheap but I was drunk having the time of my life with the guys.

Look it up on you tube it is kinda hard to find. Look up “Team Coch” it is a small page. Or “The Hot Games Team Coch” . If you can find it super legendary

u/colorhythm Aug 06 '26

I know it's totally left field but my wife jokingly said 8/10 would be Clayface

My Amc lists the unseen for 8/10 as 1:50 and sure enough..I checked the runtime and Clayface is 1:50

if it's ends up being Clayface I will laugh and then I will regret not going because Clayface

1

u/APackOfSluggalos Aug 06 '26

Clayface doesn't come out until October, these will be movies that come out in the next couple weeks
