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.
  • This new ad initiative follows AMC’s use of Discount Tuesdays and adds a 50% off Wednesday ticket promotion for Stubs members starting July 9 amid blockbuster releases.
  • AMC indicated that their involvement with the National CineMedia pre-show ads has not had a detrimental effect on audience attendance, and the revenue generated from this partnership will be shared between AMC and National CineMedia.
  • The change aims to deliver vital revenue without raising ticket prices while maintaining significant value and confidence that moviegoer attendance will not be deterred.
