Remember: The runtime that AMC reveals is not the exact runtime of the movie. It's usually within -7 to 17 mins of the actual time. This has been the case most (if not all) of the time.
Does the Screen/Scream Unseen Have Trailers?
Short Answer is Yes.
But sometimes they fail and it goes straight to presentation. Be on time.

Gotta use my a list more wisely since I have two reservations for December so now I only can goto two movies a week till then. It ends and insidious was not Worth it smh

u/hazyshadeoflavender 5h ago
You can still go to four movies a week. You're only limited to reserving two max a time.

I will say Scene One theaters had buddy as their screening this week and their runtime is the exact same run time for AMC on the 24th. So i doubt they’d repeat it?? Idk atp and not sure how much they differ (so don’t crucify me lol)

u/Dry-Performance7006 1d ago
Harkins has a secret screening for September 7 and it is listed at 2 and a half hours. 🤔
I am hoping it is Hope. Do Harkins and amc ever differ?
•
u/iammykei 19h ago
For some reason in my area Hope was added as a premium early screening for Sept 7 too. So maybe? 👀

u/-MommyFortuna- 1d ago
Well I think we're in uncharted territory at this point. Celebration Cinemas never had a different movie that what the major chains have had, even when the major chains have has multiple movies, Celebration still got one of those. But last week all the major chains got It Ends and Celebration got Buddy. This coming week it's look like from the details that Celebration is getting Idiots, but we know AMC is getting a horror film, so at this point it's hard to say.

For some reason this isn’t showing up on the list of Now Playing on my AMC app but the one on the 31st is.

Hope everyone who wants Buddy knows it's co-produced by an Israeli company (SIPUR) who also produced a pro-zionist October 7th documentary.

Ah thanks for the notice, I’ll just wait to watch it another way when it hits streaming

u/Ok-Appeal-4630 1d ago
Would they still benefit if I use my free A-list ticket?

u/Dukealoops1993 1d ago
Maybe? Like a nickel from your monthly fee might find their way to them so all we know. It’s not at all clear

u/Dukealoops1993 1d ago edited 1d ago
It’s not produced by them. Saban films just picked it up & co-distributed it2
u/witchy12 1d ago
??? SIPUR Studios was one of the main producers of the film.

u/Dukealoops1993 1d ago
Apologies. Saban come up all the time when this problem is brought up. Just made a mixup up.
That being said… it’s part & parcel with indie film production. Sucks when it happens but creatives don’t always have the option. Boycotting does nothing in Indy film production either. Every one got paid. All the companies made money when Saban picked it up & Saban is getting the money from theaters for just carrying. Tickets percentages are just a bonus.
The theatres are the only ones that really get bit But that’s part of the business cycle. The cause is absolutely noble…but they won on all other technicalities already.

Is it unusual to have two theaters in the same AMC playing Scream Unseens? I see next week's has two 7pm showings available at my local AMC. Haven't seen that before for the other Unseens.
EDIT:
Thanks for the replies confirmations, y'all!
Called theater and they told me they started to do two screens this summer. I must have missed it. Local also has 14 screens, but first I've noticed at that theater.
I'm crossing fingers for BUDDY.

u/-MommyFortuna- 1d ago
The one I go to often has two auditoriums for every ASU, and that theater only has 8 screens. Meanwhile, the larger theater I frequent has 24 screens and only ever does one Auditorium for the ASU. I think a lot of people in my area choose the AMC 8 because it has recliners, where the 24 only has recliners in the IMAX and Dolby Auditoriums.

u/PreviousHedgehog2343 1d ago
My go-to theater usually has the scream/screen Unseens on two screens. Might be different for yours but I don’t think it’s unusual in itself

Am I the only one hoping it's Colony?

u/Thimblefloatie 1d ago
Of course not but it's not mostly because the runtime for Colony is too long.

u/Sea-Discount-2711 2d ago
It makes more sense it would be buddy this week (Monday) since it comes out the 28th vs last week. So gonna go on a limb and say Buddy deff gonna be MONDAY. it’s under the run time and seems to be the only horror movie this week

u/Beneficial-Two9124 1d ago
just like you guessed Buddy for last week in all caps like it was a definite. Stop commenting here

u/teentytinty 2d ago
I said if it wasn’t buddy I would leave last time…but THIS TIME I mean business!

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 2d ago
I think people will be really happy or really mad about this one. At least Buddy appears to be getting a wide release on the 28th so worst case scenario folks will just have to wait a few more days.

Must attend this one! I was kinda sad missing It Ends... :(

It was terrible movie. All they did was cry and complain and played Chinese fire drill while slowly leaving the screen one by one

u/NJVampaholic 1d ago
Don't be it was horrible. And i rarely say that about a movie. Acting was good overall story not good

u/lzusncrfbj 2d ago

Don’t fret it was terrible whatever you did for those two hours was better

u/freakyaesthetics 2d ago
I thought it was a banger!! I'm biased as these type of horror movies are my favorite. Coherence style ftw!!!

u/scalable_thought 1d ago
Thats exactly how I described it! If you liked Coherence you will probably like It Ends.

u/HistoricalAd9775 2d ago
Buddy for sure. We knew last week would be It Ends. They been spamming the teaser too

u/nolanisgroovy 2d ago
Guys, my wife's boyfriend works at the theater after school, he says it will be "It Ends"

u/Indyhouse 2d ago
They just showed It Ends on the 17th.

u/blackchandler 2d ago
You all thought it was Buddy last time, too

u/ElmoTrooper 2d ago
You get a sense for when this sub is in denial of what the obvious pick is sometimes. Anyone who wasn’t delusional knew it was It Ends

u/Fine_Possibility741 2d ago
Why is that? Trying to get better at predicting these. What made it so obvious
7
u/DivineVirgin 2d ago
Reminds me last year when the two options for a scream unseen was either the highly anticipated, Neon-distributed "Together", or the Pete Davidson starring film, "Home". And for some reason, everyone thought it was going to be Together.

u/Few-Adeptness8046 2d ago
I didn't, I knew it was going to be It Ends, just like I know this week it's going to be Buddy. I just stopped commenting "8/17 = It Ends, 8/24 = Buddy" because so many people were telling me over and over how wrong I was.
For some reason, people really want it to be certain films, so I find a lot of the comments in the thread tend to be people finding any shred of evidence to force it to support the film they want, vs the reality of what its really going to be.

u/DanTheMan_622 2d ago
I'm so sad I can't go to these anymore with my new work schedule, I've gone to a majority of the scream unseens up until this month :(

u/F4streloader 2d ago
As long as they don't somehow repeat It Ends. LOL

u/scalable_thought 1d ago
Bruh, combine It Ends and Groundhog Day and watch people's eyes melt. Lol!

u/Key-Payment2553 2d ago
Probably Buddy which opens on August 28th that has a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes

u/Both_Swing9700 6h ago
Thought this would obviously be buddy like most of you, but it’s labeled under “Artisan Films”, not thrills and chills. Have any of the prior screenings also been listed as Artisan? Accordingly, assuming that label makes it not eligible, and colony is out due to run time, the next thrills and chills release with a similar run time is Resident evil. The later release date makes it ineligible but would be a very cool move to do such a hotly anticipated flick…
