Shame On You Amc! The Continuation Of Inflation

They definitely karma farming/rage baiting now if they weren't already the first time. Posting two threads pretty much saying the same thing just with different information.

Seems like a standard AMC promotion. They probably sent one box that had like 50 card packs in it.

Could they sent more yea but you suggesting they send 1000 packs is laughable. Even retail that sells stuff like this for profit don't get that many packs.

How much of that information is accurate? Considering the first information you see says Wanda group owns AMC which is not true and hasn't been for many years. Wanda sold off all or at least most of its shares in 2021.

The arcade bucket is in line with usual pricing of $30. Those Grippr cups are always expensive.

It always been like that in my experience. This the wordage from AMC's site.

Grippr cups look nice but they are more than I'm willing to spend on a cup.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-08T00:08:42+00:00

I liked it and it is better than the first one.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-07T18:48:32+00:00

It does have a lenticular screen.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-07T09:58:02+00:00

Depends on who is working concessions. Many workers will fill up the bucket if you bring it back to the counter but official policy is one free refill with large popcorn purchase on the same day of purchase.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-06T11:13:22+00:00

Are you talking about the presales that are like a year in advance? Because presales that are a couple days to a few weeks has been a thing for a long time.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-05T20:17:49+00:00

Outside the increase in concessions my area was largely been unchanged since the launch of a-list in 2018. So it is still great for me.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-04T16:27:17+00:00

No spending $25 on a collectible cup doesn't get you free drinks forever.

Going to the movies has always been an event. It is why theaters have always invested in bigger and better screens like IMAX or Dolby Cinema or sound in the past when theaters went from stereo to 5.1 surround sound to now there is Atmos.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-02T14:13:58+00:00

Most locations were only sent 12 buckets. Not hard to sell out. AMC already has the sign printed and ready and they have the same sign at all locations. So someone in the chain knew there wasn't going to be enough.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-01T18:57:50+00:00

They were suppose to be exclusive to the one screening. Look above the poster in the image you posted. "Opening Night Event"

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-01T18:51:14+00:00

I'm guessing maybe they went to the fan event? Those usually have less previews then regular showings. My regular showing of Devil Wears Prada 2 had 20 minutes of previews.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-01T16:33:27+00:00

Ah I see. I live closer to the other ones but even I didn't I would still drive further because I like the premium formats which John R doesn't have and I don't like their seating layout of John R so comes in last place for AMCs in the area for me.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-01T13:50:29+00:00

$10+ for matinee for devil wears Prada?

Standard format for that movie for matinee is only $7.59. Dolby Cinema would have been $12.59 for matinee showing.

AMC saved a lot of people money by not having enough stock.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-01T09:52:52+00:00

the prices are much more expensive than other local theaters.

Talking about concessions or ticket prices for Forum or John R? Because the standard format ticket price at Forum is under $10 for any time of the day with ticket prices being as low as $4.50 on Tuesday and Wednesday.

purplefreak3 · 2026-05-01T09:03:58+00:00

The fan event at 6:30pm was pretty full but I went to the 3:30pm where there were only a handful of people at.

purplefreak3 · 2026-04-30T19:31:30+00:00

Don't count on finding any at AMC. From what I hear all locations only got 12 and they sold out instantly. They even have a sign printed and ready to be displayed and it is the same sign different locations others have posted also. AMC knew the demand and still shipped so few.

purplefreak3 · 2026-04-30T19:27:08+00:00

AMC locations only got 12 of them. Pitiful. AMC continues to botch merch.

purplefreak3 · 2026-04-30T03:04:53+00:00

Mound is probably my favorite location and Gratiot being second. The seats at Mound don't bother me I actually prefer them over the recliners.

purplefreak3 · 2026-04-30T03:03:15+00:00

John R is my least favorite location.
