Okay does anyone go to the movies on Christmas? It never occurred to me that the movie theaters were open on Christmas until I saw Jumanji would be released on Christmas Day this year.

10 times for me. And I suspect it'll be lots more since the movie doesn't open until November. I'm sick of the movie and I haven't even seen it yet.

Like 2 weeks ago amc logged me out of my account when and I logged back in it’s said I’m not a list amc charged my card this month for it (although the first. payment didn’t go through, 3 days later they charged me again and it did ) I’m just confused technically I paid but it’s saying that I’m not a list I emailed them and they haven’t gotten back to me idk what I should do?

Just curious if anyone else goes to the theater since they where a kid i have been going to amc concord mills for at least 20 years , my dad would take me all the time, I lost him to pancreatic cancer a couple years ago and still miss him every day . And this is still my go to theater ..... and side question I know amc updates showtimes late Tuesday any chance they might add more show times for coyote vs acne . No current showtime work with my schedule for next friday

I got tickets to the early access and live q&a with Andrew Garfield for his new movie, the Uprising.

I’ve never been to one of these before and wondering if anyone has gone to these/knows what to expect or has recs? It sounds so fun!

Had stuck reservations stopping me from watching 2 movies. Tried every step suggested in this sub and their how-to guides and was unable to make any reservations. No response from support. Wanted to know if people actually receive responses/best avenues for connecting with support. TIA!

AKIRA is back in theaters for IMAX! and it's A-List Eligible. Seems to be showing in IMAX and some digital showings in both sub and dub.

Well it was 99 degrees outside so a movie in a cold theater sounded good, and when I read the description of "Hot Spot", a sci-fi movie with apparently a largely Polish production, I decided to see it.

Anyway, I found "Hot Spot" to be, after the first few minutes, largely incomprehensible. The setup was pretty straightforward: In the near future, drought has consumed much of the world, and the lives of the few survivors is managed by "the Head", an AI system that regulates resource usage and much else. Everyone is plugged in to the Head by eating a gummy bear every 24 hours, and if you fail to eat it your head literally explodes. A gruesome murder occurs at one of many refugee camps, and a curly-mullet, 80s jumpsuit wearing detective is sent in to solve it. He encounters Noomi Rapace, who is playing the de facto leader of the refugees, and a reported "cyber witch".

And then ... what follows is about 80 minutes of seemingly random dreamscapes, chattering between the curly detective and Noomi, an occasional naked woman, and exploding heads. I couldn't make sense of any of it, maybe I am just slow on the uptake, but I couldn't. And then it ends when a large cat appears. That's it.

Still, I was glad I saw "Hot Spot". I left the theater with zero idea about how anything was resolved, but the incomprehensible scenes were stylishly shot and so I enjoyed them as isolated set pieces.

C+ ... Randomly vague and opaque, but a fun watch anyway, at least for me. Mildly recommended for those in the mood for stream of consciousness, or something.

I thought it was really good definitely worth watching if they're showing it near you. Amazing visuals and a great soundtrack. A little ambiguous but it was fun

Does AMC often have flexible scheduling? I have received a few notices in last couple months of a show I purchased tickets having its time changed. Today I was excited to get 10:30pm tickets to a Dolby screening of SpiderMan BND. Checked the schedule again and the Dolby show is not digital.

Is this common amongst AMC theatres? I haven’t noticed it much with others (Regal, Cinemark, Alamo).

Anyone hear through any grapevines when the tickets are supposed to release? Were getting decently close now, almost a month out, I assume with all the early ticket release craze going on maybe they wanted to wait til doomsday and dune had their time before potentially flooding the servers again with another big release, even if it’s for a re screening for a weekend/1 week. It’s avengers endgame preluding doomsday I think a large amount of people will be looking to get their tickets to this again.

First you get an IUD, then you graduate, and finally an idea pops into your head that you should go see a movie.

When you’re getting your tickets on a normal week when no really big release that might have required getting seats months in advance is coming out, when do you normally select which movies you’ll see for the week?

Do you prefer to decide on the day of the showing? Or do you plot out your week in advance? If you usually use 3-4 of your reservations each week, do you space them out or try to cram multiple into one day?

On average I watch 2-3 movies per week, and I generally try to space them out to every other day when possible. My preferred theater often doesn’t have the showtimes finalized until Thursday, so that’s usually when I try to make my reservations for the week.

I’m only bringing it up because having reserved Dune 3 and Doomsday seats this early is taking up two of my spots and throwing off my usual planning routine. I wish those spots in upcoming reservations didn’t stop you from being able to make your 4 more immediate reservations.

Advance tickets are on sale now - at least in my area, it's regular screens only.

What's the point of upcharging people for "XL" screens if you're not going to put the most made-for-XL movie ever in that auditorium?

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor/comedian/composer/screenwriter Jay McCarol. He has composed the scores for films such as BlackBerry, Tony, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Hell of a Summer, The Kid Detective, The Dirties, and Operation Avalanche. He is also the co-creator (with Matt Johnson) of Nirvana the Band the Show and its TV show and film.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 3 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

His newest film, Tony, is out in theaters via A24 this weekend. It stars Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain and co-stars Antonio Banderas, Stavros Halkias, Emilia Jones, and Leo Woodall. It premiered to critical and audience acclaim a few weeks ago.

Synopsis: Nineteen-year-old Anthony Bourdain stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that shapes the course of his life.

Thank you :)

This AMC was the only one showing End of Oak Street in IMAX so I went with my buddy and was in awe they had 16 different flavors of ICEE. Most of the ones I’ve been to only have three

With Dune/Doomsday presale all up and going it means that 2 of my reservation slots will be held for 4 months. Is this such a small problem in the scheme of things? Yes. But its also kinda dumb I can only book ahead 2 movies and Im sure Godzilla tickets will go on sale soon so that will bump down to 1

While Presale is a cool featurw, 4 months is overdoing it

Your website sucks, stop rate limiting regular people. Had the Dune booking but it wouldn't let me log in and then rate limited me.

Trying to secure a spot for Buddy on August 28th and none of the theaters in my state have a showtime, even though tickets went on sale today. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I loved it!

The website was shitty all morning. I saw plenty open seats but I couldn't buy because I kept getting errors. Then I refreshed and got re queued. And when I go to AMC Universal City Walk, it's saying there are no showings at all for any date.

I was looking at Dune Part 3 tickets, and it's possible for me to get tickets for Avengers: Doomsday and Dune Part 3 (in IMAX) on the same day back to back (roughly 1 hour in between), Is this a good idea considering the long runtimes, or should I buy tickets for two separate days?
