Major Movie Theater Chain Announces It'll Be Adding More Commercials Before Movies
- Beginning July 1, approximately 900 AMC locations plan to introduce a "platinum spot" featuring pre-movie advertisements alongside the usual film trailers.
- In 2019, AMC opposed the idea of showing ads before movies, but after rival chains adopted the practice and saw no negative effect on their attendance over several years, AMC decided to follow suit.
