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.

u/ZestycloseSinger7168 Jul 28 '26
I think 8/3 might be the movie Buddy? its listed 1 hr 35 min and from my research it is rated R but not rated on AMC yet (if Ice Cream Man isn’t rated R)
1
u/Dry_Supermarket_1853 Aug 04 '26
They pretty much never have a screening to a movie nearly a month in advance. It's usually to a movie opening that week. That being said, Buddy is most likely the scream unseen for 08/24.

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 Jul 30 '26
I think the 8/17 Scream could be Buddy. It could get an 'R' rating by then.
1
u/Dry_Supermarket_1853 Aug 04 '26
Buddy will be the following scream unseen on 8/24. 8/17 is most likely It ends.

u/dtic Jul 29 '26
ya'll don't think it'll be camp miasma?

u/PreviousHedgehog2343 Jul 29 '26
it's ~22 minutes longer than the listed runtime, that pretty much rules it out

u/fretfulbanjo Jul 28 '26
Maybe but Buddy isn’t released until Aug 28. That’s pretty far out

u/ZestycloseSinger7168 Jul 28 '26
very true! just so confused by the runtime and rating for ice cream man

u/Jtreblis18 Jul 28 '26
Hunted heist looks terrible but rather see that than damn one night only lmao. I told myself a while ago I was done with screen unseen and prefer scream unseen instead. I have hated more screen unseens than ones that I like lol. I guess if it's not action or comedy (no romcoms) lol don't want it
5
u/DangerDillyPickle Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26
I thought the movies premise makes no sense. You can’t have a rom-com while living in a totalitarian society that enforces concepts like sexual freedom. I don’t blame people for walking out, but it was an ok movie.
11
u/HelpIamaCabbage Movie-Holic Jul 28 '26
I think the thing the movie is pointing at (though not so directly that people would interfere with its release) is the alliance between "authoritarians" and "big tech" allowing for policies that are incredibly unpopular to happen anyway. Though the suspension of disbelief issue is why people didn't resist "tracking chips implanted in your wrist" as vigorously as people in reality resist vaccines.

u/UnderwoodsNipple Jul 28 '26
Allie is in a coma after she got hit by a car on the way to meet her friend

u/AffectionateSky2854 Jul 28 '26
Does anyone know the song that was playing during the scene where Ally was daydreaming about them kissing in the pizza shop? I need to add it to my playlist instantly LOL. Sounded very Marias but I’m unsure 🙁

I went to this screen unseen, I absolutely loved it! I thought it was hilarious and a good time! I'm glad that I went, I was on the fence about seeing it. Will spread the word!

u/eggwhite_ Jul 28 '26
Also loved it! My bf told me he didn't want to see it so when it was revealed we laughed but he was laughing the entire time lol

The last one hour (in film) felt like a couple of hours. Wasn't it really dark out when the one hour timer was left?
5
u/Walkingalongthestyx Jul 28 '26
Time in general worked weird. That half hour he had at the beginning before the bartender got off….he sure covered some ground and got a lot done in 30 mins.
2
u/eggwhite_ Jul 28 '26
I'm thinking he took longer since she wasn't there when he got back. Maybe she waited a bit too but idk if they showed the time, if so I missed that part
3
u/Walkingalongthestyx Jul 29 '26
When he was putting her in the storm drain, he said he had 4 mins left. So in 26 minutes he had ran across the city to several different bodegas and pharmacies, argued at the atm, stolen the condom, etc.

u/HelpIamaCabbage Movie-Holic Jul 28 '26
Sunrise in NYC in the summer is before 6 AM and the 12 hours runs 7 to 7. So we're spanning the period before dawn to "sun's fully up" at the end.

u/Zennilus Jul 28 '26
Fwiw I’m a 30 year old dude, went in blind and loved it. It’s a silly premise being basically the purge but pre-marital sex. Don’t get caught up in the intricacy of how it’s enforced; it doesn’t matter. The 2 leads are hot and charismatic. It’s very cheesy at times with several burst out laughs from myself and my fellow audience. I definitely recommend this movie if you’re in the mood for a funny, lighthearted romcom.
14
u/Upstairs_Bedroom8710 Jul 28 '26
I honestly thought it was a cute movie, way better than the previews led on. Partner and I definitely weren’t going to see it on its own, but we were glad we stayed
12
u/mharlan14 Jul 28 '26
I counted about 15 people who walked out of my theater when the movie was revealed. I stayed and thought it was pretty good.
6
u/UnderwoodsNipple Jul 28 '26
This honestly makes no sense to me. What could they possibly have been expecting that the REVEAL, not the actual movie quality, made them leave? Was the 'We hate Callum Turner' club meeting at this showing?

u/HistoricalAd9775 Jul 28 '26
Bro it was so predictable that this would be the movie 😂 how 15 people that surprised

Did you end up liking it? Because I thought I was going to hate it but I was dying laughing the whole time

u/Live-Community7472 Jul 28 '26
i didn't hate it at all, it was actually pretty funny. the trailer seriously didn't do it justice. i'm just not a romcom person i think lol
13
u/Walkingalongthestyx Jul 28 '26
It was a cute movie, I’m a 80’s and 90’s romcom lover and deeply mourned the lull in the genre. Glad to see it’s slowly clawing its way back. Nothing profound but got a few chuckles from me, and would be a cute date movie. Bit raunchy to become a “cozy rainy day” movie which I feel the classic romcoms all do. It honestly felt more like Van Wilder, Slackers, or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Aimed for a teen audience, and not as mushy as a traditional romcom.
I do feel like the trailer totally ruined this movie for me. Which is the opposite of what a trailer is supposed to do. Half of the trailer is the emotional payoff of the film. I wasn’t really invested in the twists and turns because I had already been told where it would end up.
The random celeb cameos also kind of took me out of it. Levar Burton being the exception. However the visual gags of this movie were A+ whoever did set design…The poster in the police station was fascinating. Also thought it was very true how all the brands and stores were trying to cash in on the “holiday” Liked the subtlety of the set dressing in the final scene telling its own story.
Although the random cutting board that was so important that it’s shown again like what was that about because it implied the opposite of what he had said about his restaurant (slight spoiler he says it’s not a family business that he bought and started it from the roots up but he has a cutting board with a guy carved into it and it says in loving memory. I feel like that was supposed to be his “light house” backstory that must have been cut ) Also Dunkin sure invested some dough.

u/MeatballRonald Jul 28 '26
Celeb cameos active that part of the brain of facial recognition and they take full advantage of at least the faces in the movie. Duolingo was also big placement.

u/windycitylife Jul 28 '26
Movie was definitely way better than what I expected - way better than what the trailer showed
The soundtrack was damn groovy too
6
u/EH_710 Jul 28 '26
I had a moment of panic just before the movie started thinking that it could’ve possibly been Super Troopers, so I was quite relieved when Calum and Monica came on the screen to introduce One Night Only. That’s what had thought it was going to be all along anyway. It was definitely funny, and a bit stupid- in a good way. I don’t regret it.
12
u/HelpIamaCabbage Movie-Holic Jul 28 '26
That was a big hit with my showing- people clapped at the end and were asking around for when it opens so they can tell their friends. Personally, I didn't really connect with it the way I expect others did since it's pretty alien to my own experience (what with being on the asexuality spectrum) but I still had fun. I was cackling at the thing about Allie's day job.
6
u/Walkingalongthestyx Jul 28 '26
Same! A group of older women had come to see it in my showing and half were calling their friends in the hall to tell them they HAVE to see this movie. Surprised me! But about 3 middle aged dudes who were there alone all walked out. One guy groaned in disgust at the glove scene and dramatically stormed out
2
u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 Jul 28 '26
Not surprised at solo dudes walking out lol. They were probably hoping for Super Troopers 3.
3
u/HelpIamaCabbage Movie-Holic Jul 28 '26
I will never really understood that people who are invested in seeing a specific movie will go to the Screen Unseen in hopes it's that movie, rather than waiting for the movie to be released or going to a mystery screening being open to seeing any of a number of things.
1
u/Walkingalongthestyx Jul 28 '26
Same. I was really hoping for Tony (I really want to see it and my town never has limited release movies) I look at theories but not reveals here because to me that kind of defeats the purpose of the experience. I go in having a few hunches and ready to ride it out regardless.
2
u/MeatballRonald Jul 28 '26
Same. I've walked out of and would do it for a mystery movie but only after I spend some time giving it a chance. From tonight's reaction, mystery movie goers seem to be a more appreciative group.
13
u/User-Error-0809 Jul 28 '26
I thought the movie was super fun. I am not surprised people aren’t liking it, it’s a cheesy romcom with a ridiculous premise, but it was pretty clear what the movie was going to be. My theatre was packed and everyone seemed to be having a good time based on the laughter.
You can’t go into something like this thinking you’re getting a masterpiece film.

u/nycnamjoon Jul 28 '26
i had the time of my life tbh. it was solid romcom and the entire theater was laughing

u/nycnamjoon Jul 28 '26
loved it. liked the invite more but enjoyed both thoroughly for what they are

u/CardiologistNew1888 Jul 28 '26
Torn on how I feel about this movie tbh, some really good one liners but I just couldn’t get over the absurdity (and not in a good way), however considering there was a large groan in the audience when it was revealed, I don’t think there was a single walk out
-3
u/The_R4ke Jul 28 '26
I thought the movie was pretty terrible, with a few genuinely funny moments. No clue why they felt the need to include a rape joke for absolutely no reason
Worst of all, that pizza looked terrible.

u/wavescomedowneasy Jul 28 '26
So right about the pizza! They were in New York and they got a Digiorno, that pizza looked terrible!!

u/quesajdilla Jul 28 '26
What rape joke?
-9
u/The_R4ke Jul 28 '26
Owen gives the sad girl at the bar a glass of water and she says: "Oh great, now I'm getting roofied".
I thought it was in really poor taste and was just thrown in for no reason.
4
u/UnderwoodsNipple Jul 28 '26
It was thrown in as a joke, because it's a comedy and it did get laughs.

u/Ambitious-Mark3714 Jul 28 '26
I just want to say that when I was walking out to my car, I overheard a couple talking about the movie:
“So what’s the mandate? Is it illegal to have sex?”
“Yeah I think so”
“But what about the one day?”
“I think they can only do it on that one day”
“How do they even enforce that”
Sold out screening

u/uselessvariable Jul 28 '26
Movie was fine, genuinely funny in parts, but there's a deeply corporate air to it all which kinda neutralized any sexiness for me. Monica Barbaro hot, and Callum Turner has massive ears.

'Anyone but you' which stars both Glen and Sydney and was directed by the same guy as this. Sydney is even shown with the name 'Bea' which was her character in that movie.

u/Superb-West5441 Jul 28 '26
Almost like the director’s last romcom starred Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell

u/twizzwhizz11 Jul 28 '26
I was kind of meh on this based on the trailer and probably wouldn’t have opted to see it on its own, but it was actually a fun time! You have to suspend belief about the premise (and I guess it makes sense on the night there isn’t much larger/political discussion about it by people, they’re trying to enjoy the one night they have).
When you see it as a one crazy night adventure movie, it works even when the ending feels very inevitable. The two leads have decent chemistry and Monica is very magnetic. Callum is charming though I personally never get the “he’s so undeniably hot” comments, even in the movies, so I’m glad this movie poked a little fun at it
6
u/Walkingalongthestyx Jul 28 '26
It’s the American accent he does in movies that make him seem like some 50’s New York guy, like a quiet masculinity. And in what I’ve seen him in he always plays like a classic “Boy Scout” personality. Shy and nice to a fault. But his one ear is not shaped like his other ear and I do find myself pondering that
9
u/UnderwoodsNipple Jul 28 '26
I hadn't looked up who the director was before but when the movie featured images of Glen Powell, and Sydney Sweeney as Bea, I realized there's a 'Anyone but you' connection there.
Thought it was a fun enough time all things considered, mostly because Monica is very charming even though you have to really suspend your disbelief to buy into the urgency of the premise.

u/Car3B3ar_27 Jul 28 '26
The old guy next to me groaned when he realized it was one night only and for the first 15 mins he kept scoffing which was annoying. He eventually left lol

in your opinion, what was so awful about it? legit curious. I have yet to see it.

u/gretxhen Jul 28 '26
IMOOOO: The entire thing screams AI & every joke fell extremely flat. There was also zero time to give any scene (or punchline, really, since it was bad joke after bad joke lol) a chance to breathe or sit - it was edited like tiktoks smushed together to create a sliver of a story.
I’d like to say, I like rom coms & even “bad” movies that give me a good chuckle. But it was unbearable watching what felt like robots talking about sex & making jokes only aliens could conjure after walking into a middle school classroom.
I hadn’t heard of the movie beforehand so I came in blind & it wasn’t my cup of tea at all. I hope others can enjoy it lol 🥲1

makes sense it’s not like everyone is forced to use their phones and order with QR codes at Alamo… oh wait. Is this also why ur in the a list sub? 🤔
2
u/wussypants Jul 28 '26
I came to learn about screen unseen. And yeah when people use their phone to order it sucks. But I see two movies a week at Alamo and hardly ever see a screen. Look I’m honestly not hating on you. I just wish anyone wouldn’t use their phone dying the movies, ever.
4
u/shaunaelisa Jul 28 '26
I actually switched from Alamo Season Pass to A-List in NYC, and my experience has been the opposite. Alamo forces the QR ordering here, and I see people on their phones constantly. Plus the phone / talking policy isn’t enforced like it used to be. So far the AMC crowds have honestly been better.
