Yeah, the window between theatrical and streaming releases are becoming shorter, which makes catching these films at home a no brainer for most. I could see AMC having leverage prior to the pandemic, but things have changed massively since then. This is just a weird move for a company that's already struggling to make money. Not every film will be an Avatar 2 that demands a premium viewing experience.

This is already happening at smaller chains.

This is why I'm only going to go to Regal, Alamo Drafthouse, and independent cinemas this year.

Only thing is that if I want to see Oppenheimer and Dune 2 in IMAX 1.43 I'll have to go to AMC

AMC Theatres is abandoning its “Sightline” pricing strategy, which charged different prices for seats in different locations within each theater.

First announced in February, AMC’s plan involved charging higher prices for the best seats in each theater, and lower prices for seats at the very front of the auditoriums.

The company said Thursday that it will end the pilot program in the coming weeks, and replace it with a new program that changes the seats at the front of each auditorium.

I remember when I used my Stubs $5 off coupons to counter the additional charges
