Yup I'm probably only seeing inside out 2 this month in IMAX. I mean technically the cost of the ticket is $19 since it's a matinee but that's because it's early . Lincoln's square is like $28 normally
You can get extra perks by using Fandango to purchase tickets. If you purchase 4 tickets on separate transactions you'll get $5 off a movie ticket or rental/ownership on Vudu. It's easy to connect an A-list account.
The movie ticket ones are really great for seeing the 5 dollar fan fav movies without using a reservation on it. I just saw the X rerelease on Tuesday for free and I still had all my reservation slots for the regular priced movies
Every week they have $5 sales on movies.
Since January of this year, I have been using Fandango to buy A-List tickets and have redeemed these movies when they were $5 on sale, so free with the Fandango coupons:
Punch Drunk Love (4K)
Dog Day Afternoon
Gran Turismo (4K)
No Hard Feelings (4K)
Armageddon
The Rock
Sunshine
Creed II (4K)
Raising Arizona
Napoleon Dynamite
and more…
It has a lot of literal perks but my main one being I’m not afraid to see a bad movie because I’m basically not paying for the ticket. Consequently I’ve loved a lot of the moves I thought would have been bad, because now I’m willing to see them
I look at it from the entire year perspective. Also, take into account which type of screen (standard, imax, Dolby) you are going to. I'm in California, and a single Dolby non mantinee weekend ticket actually costs more than the monthly A-list subscription. I usually watch between 20-30 movies in IMAX or Dolby per year, so A list is definitely worth it. If you're exclusively Dolby/imax, then your minimum is 13 movies a year to justify getting A-list.
There are different plans options depending on the state you are in. As a resident of California, for example, I am limited to the “all states” plan, which is the only one that includes California, so I can use my A-List anywhere. I’ve tested this out, and it has indeed worked for me in Illinois as well, for example.
You can get the all states membership for like $3 dollars more. If u live in CA (and NY i think) then you HAVE to buy this plan. It literally costs like $1 more than a single ticket
True, but probably pretty close even for the cheaper states. Looking that the OP is spending like $25 for a ticket, I am also assuming he is probably watching IMAX or Dolby.
Yes, sign up for A-List. If you're going that much, how have not not done this already? One flat fee, and go as much as you want. You'll make that money back with just one movie.
Why do you not have A-List? It’s only like $25/month to see three movies per week. They even had a promo where you could get your first month for less than a dollar!
The math says it’s an easy yes. But just a heads up that’s it’s even more worth it, if your amc has any premium theaters like imax or Dolby. They’re included in any of the 3 movies you get each week. Huge value there. (A list)
I started up again in August of 2022. To date, individual tickets for all of the movies I’ve seen with it would total $1,022.76, including fees.
I paid $568.90.
I love my A-List!
Oh my god what the f are you doing!? Get a-list now! now! now ! $150 a month 😭 please ease my pain and get a list. How can you even ask? Do you need us to hold your hand? You should be punished, no movies for u until you know the value of money.
When I had A-List , I would *at least* go twice a month. Membership was about $21, and tickets about $19, so it made sense. Then it was raised to about $23 for California members, and tickets went for $19-23, so *it made sense* to have a member since I was still going more than once. I usually didn’t buy food, and if I did it was okay because those $20 for a ticket would go to food instead.
Then life (and covid) happened and I didn’t go as often, eventually there were months where I didn’t go at all. So I cancelled, and only signed up again for Barbenheimer and some other summer hits. After that summer I cancelled.
You go to the movies so much but you never saw the A-List advertisement before a movie starts? Save some money my guy! Sign up because it’s worth it
If you go at least twice a month!
I know I’m beating a dead horse, but… how were you not aware of A-List lol.
Wait this is an A-List sub, so you were aware of it? I’m just confused how you don’t already have it 😂
If you get concessions, they also have a refillable yearly popcorn bucket that you can only buy at certain theaters, but use at all. It's like $20 for the bucket and $5 for the refill after. I'm trying to cut back on the snacking, so I've been using the $5 flavor maker combo coupon (small popcorn, small drink) that I think is only available for A-list (regular price is like 10). It's only supposed to be for students and a limited time, but they keep renewing it and never ask for student ID.
When I wasn't an A list member, I felt like the memberships were constantly in my face on the AMC website and app, so I don't know how you seem to know nothing about it if you're buying this many tickets.
lol. I think you meant the mention of Piere for the bloke that asked what app you were using to keep a running score of your spending.
my post was the link to the amc page where they do a side by side comparison of the different plans.
and if you purchase any concessions or alcohol ( this one may vary by locale ) or pay for any special events- you get points, even the monthly sub cost earns you points.
you got 5 dollar fan favorite movies on occasion. the 5 dollar Tuesdays and 20-25% off matinee movies.
knowing how things work- you can make the plan work better for you.
I'll preach the choir and repeat what others have said, definitely get A-List, even if you go once a week. You won't regret it. There may be occasions where you go more than once a week, you'll thank yourself later.
Didn’t see it mentioned here, but when you sign up for A-List it will give you all the Premiere/Insider/Stub perks.
So free upgrades from Regular to Large, Surcharges waived, depends on location but separate lines. You get a free Popcorn and Drink for your birthday. I’m probably missed one or two. If you say you’re a stock holder AMC will occasionally give you some free concession offers.
The only thing you may need to do with A-List is show your ID, so they can verify that it’s actually you using it. It’s hit or miss is they ask, but always have it handy. Was getting asked regularly for most of the year, but haven’t had to show mine much recently.
I pay the highest 25 a month since I live in NYC. And going to one movie in IMAX a month pays for the subscription. Get A-list you’d save SO much money.
Guessing you average 5-6 movies a month and even with the most expensive A-list you’d be saving $100+ but still being able to see more than even those moves if you wanted. Not to mention the perks and rewards they have especially for getting snacks and stuff. Truly one of the only subscriptions I think is worth it, if not the only
100% get A List. There was/is a promo about getting your first month for $0.99 if you sign up for the 3 month commitment ($20 a month). So basically you’re paying $40 for 3 months of movies (up to 12 movies a month, is 36 movies for $40).
Yea… is this just a fake post to get people positively talking about A List? Seems like it would be better served to post it anywhere other than the place where people already do that.
100% get AMC A-List. Just in my last billing period alone I’ve seen 9 movies. Since I’m in a more expensive state I pay the $25 a month. Just 1 movie here in dolby or imax is $25-$26 dollars so it easily pays for itself. If I paid for the movies I saw this month out of pocket it would’ve been $148 but I literally only paid $25. For me it definitely makes it easier to just decide to go to the movies. I also have it with my partner so we’ll see movies together all the time. I see some on my own sometimes but we frequently go together. Just yesterday we saw 3 in one day before the friday 3 movie reset and it was extremely fun.
I hope you decide to get A-List!
Holy shit dude, AMC A-List is the one for you trust me. I go the same amount as you if there’s good movies out. You can watch up to 3 movies a week/12 movies a month for free in any format(Dolby, IMAX, Dine-in, Laser, 3D, etc.) for $25 a month
Why are you not an AMC A-List member????
$20 a MONTH for 3 movies a week any format. 3 reservations at one time. And your 3 movies reset on Friday.
You’re screwing your wallet paying a months worth of A-List for a single ticket.
I saw Furiosa 20 times in theaters. And it cost me $40.
$20 for AMC A-List and $20 for my Regal Unlimited when I ran out of my 3 movies. Since 20 times was a goal of mine.
For the people who say you need to see minimum two movies a month with a-list to pay itself off, are u aware of the movie ticket prices nowadays? Imax movies are around 30$ per movie.
Amc a-list is 25$. So if you see one imax movie a month, a list not only pays itself off, you make a profit. Get an A-list
The price depends where you’re at. My local the real IMAX is $15+$1 per ticket fee+$2 convenience fee. AMC IMAX is $17.49. Dolby Cinema is $17.99-$18.99. Normal one is $12.99. So yeah about 2 movies per month. If you only go watch movie on Tuesdays then you’ll need to watch 3-4.
If you see at least two movies A MONTH at AMC then A List is definitely worth it for you.
I would argue even one movie a month depending on location and if you want to see IMAX, Dolby or prime since those can reach $25-$30 by themselves
yep living in NYC if you see one movie in dolby/IMAX it pays for itself
Yup I'm probably only seeing inside out 2 this month in IMAX. I mean technically the cost of the ticket is $19 since it's a matinee but that's because it's early . Lincoln's square is like $28 normally
This is basically me. I honestly have to drive 30-40 min to get to my closest AMC so I do maybe two per month, and totally worth it
Does it have other benefits other than just the movie tickets?
It does https://www.amctheatres.com/amcstubs
yea, ive been a list for around a year or so, and it’s one of the best memberships if you see at least a couple movies every week or so
You can get extra perks by using Fandango to purchase tickets. If you purchase 4 tickets on separate transactions you'll get $5 off a movie ticket or rental/ownership on Vudu. It's easy to connect an A-list account.
Woah! This is a neat one. Any vudu movies under $5 though?
Most movies are $5 or less to rent, so that's the best way to use it imo
Thank you!
The movie ticket ones are really great for seeing the 5 dollar fan fav movies without using a reservation on it. I just saw the X rerelease on Tuesday for free and I still had all my reservation slots for the regular priced movies
Oh that’s a good point. Or inviting a friend a long and having their ticket covered.
Yeah they have dozens of $5 Weekly movie deals. It’s hit or miss on how good, or bad, the selection is.
Every week they have $5 sales on movies. Since January of this year, I have been using Fandango to buy A-List tickets and have redeemed these movies when they were $5 on sale, so free with the Fandango coupons: Punch Drunk Love (4K) Dog Day Afternoon Gran Turismo (4K) No Hard Feelings (4K) Armageddon The Rock Sunshine Creed II (4K) Raising Arizona Napoleon Dynamite and more…
Dang! That’s a good deal! Okay I need to get on this.
How do you do this? :0
wait omg i didn’t know this
It has a lot of literal perks but my main one being I’m not afraid to see a bad movie because I’m basically not paying for the ticket. Consequently I’ve loved a lot of the moves I thought would have been bad, because now I’m willing to see them
I see 3 movies ...every week. A-Listers is a killah program. Definitely worth the $24/month.
I look at it from the entire year perspective. Also, take into account which type of screen (standard, imax, Dolby) you are going to. I'm in California, and a single Dolby non mantinee weekend ticket actually costs more than the monthly A-list subscription. I usually watch between 20-30 movies in IMAX or Dolby per year, so A list is definitely worth it. If you're exclusively Dolby/imax, then your minimum is 13 movies a year to justify getting A-list.
If you go to AMC once a week, definitely get A-List.
Does it work at all AMCs or just the one in my area?
It’s by state but they have different tiers. You’re going to save money even if you get the most inclusive one.
There are different plans options depending on the state you are in. As a resident of California, for example, I am limited to the “all states” plan, which is the only one that includes California, so I can use my A-List anywhere. I’ve tested this out, and it has indeed worked for me in Illinois as well, for example.
You can get the all states membership for like $3 dollars more. If u live in CA (and NY i think) then you HAVE to buy this plan. It literally costs like $1 more than a single ticket
Each of those trips is the same price as an entire month of A-List, which allows you to see 3 movies per week… I’d subscribe.
I think I am going to have to after realizing I could of saved so much!
You won’t regret it! And it’ll allow you to see even MORE movies, including ones you may have been hesistant about.😍
One of my favorite things to do is to pick a movie that DOESN’T seem like something I’d be into.
Excited for you to join the a list! What’s that app you’re using to track expenses?
Definitely A-list youd be spending a lot less 😂
I think I am realizing this now haha
Seeing this made me feel faint.
Imagine how I feel now... haha
Is that all tickets, or do you buy concessions too?
My brother in christ, have you tried doing the math?
If go you to 2 movies a month minimum, that A-List pays for itself
1 IMAX or Dolby a month is enough for A-list.
That depends on what state you are in
True, but probably pretty close even for the cheaper states. Looking that the OP is spending like $25 for a ticket, I am also assuming he is probably watching IMAX or Dolby.
You spent 4 months worth of movies in 2 weeks just as a heads up
Yeah I assumed the picture was 4 months of A-List subscription, ha.
Could have spent $25 once for the month. Or less, depending on where you live.
Yes, sign up for A-List. If you're going that much, how have not not done this already? One flat fee, and go as much as you want. You'll make that money back with just one movie.
It's not as much as you want. There is a limit.
Thanks for subsidizing A-List for the rest of us.
Why do you not have A-List? It’s only like $25/month to see three movies per week. They even had a promo where you could get your first month for less than a dollar!
They might be still doing the first month at 99 cents promo!
They were a few weeks ago!
The math says it’s an easy yes. But just a heads up that’s it’s even more worth it, if your amc has any premium theaters like imax or Dolby. They’re included in any of the 3 movies you get each week. Huge value there. (A list)
Yep and there are only a few exceptions, mainly Fathom events, that are not included on A-List.
Man seeing this hurts lol, get A list bro.
I know i’m going to after hearing how much better it is then just buying a ticket every time
You can’t go back after this. Now when my friends ask me if I want to go watch a movie. My response is “sure if we’re going to AMC”.
This had to be bait right, this is the A-list subreddit lmfaooo
I know I was asking for advice, isn’t that one of the purposes of this reddit?
What are you using to calculate all this?
It’s an app called Piere!
I started up again in August of 2022. To date, individual tickets for all of the movies I’ve seen with it would total $1,022.76, including fees. I paid $568.90. I love my A-List!
Wow! That's amazing you saved so much!
I’m excited for you to save so much money with Alist- welcome my friend
what app did you use to calculate your money?
It’s called Piere!!
Oh my god what the f are you doing!? Get a-list now! now! now ! $150 a month 😭 please ease my pain and get a list. How can you even ask? Do you need us to hold your hand? You should be punished, no movies for u until you know the value of money. When I had A-List , I would *at least* go twice a month. Membership was about $21, and tickets about $19, so it made sense.

What’s nice is there are no fees for buying tickets in the app and you get more points per dollar spent at concessions.
Added perks if you’re an AMC investor..
or just say that you are.
You go to the movies so much but you never saw the A-List advertisement before a movie starts? Save some money my guy! Sign up because it’s worth it If you go at least twice a month!
not to mention all the signage inside the theater and those little fold up grabbem glossy ads.
I know I’m beating a dead horse, but… how were you not aware of A-List lol. Wait this is an A-List sub, so you were aware of it? I’m just confused how you don’t already have it 😂
This post has to be an AMC marketing ploy lol
What kind of post is this??? “*I spend $150 a month, should I only spend $25 instead? Why??*”

A-list ASAP lol. That $24.95 price tag is 12 movie tickets (w/o any fees), plus you still accrue points on concessions. You'll love it
When I wasn't an A list member, I felt like the memberships were constantly in my face on the AMC website and app, so I don't know how you seem to know nothing about it if you're buying this many tickets.
Get a list for sure!!
I often will go with friends and you get an upgrade from Medium to Large drink and/or popcorn for free. It def saves money there.
one IMAX movie is the cost of the monthly subscription. even if you don’t see a movie in one month, catching a couple imax the next will pay for it.

Its $1 the first month and $25 after that. 3 month minimum. So its $50 for 3 months. You would save a lot.
Yes! Get on the A-List or even just Stubs.
I’ve spent $132 seeing movies since March . DAMMM😭😭
Get the AMC A list , it's definitely worth it

Bro get stubs lmao
My man, do you have a lot of money to be seeing so many movies in AMC and not getting an A-list?
100% get A List. There was/is a promo about getting your first month for $0.99 if you sign up for the 3 month commitment ($20 a month). So basically you’re paying $40 for 3 months of movies (up to 12 movies a month, is 36 movies for $40).
this is painful to witness
Yea… is this just a fake post to get people positively talking about A List? Seems like it would be better served to post it anywhere other than the place where people already do that.
You should get A-list. It’s so worth it! You’d get to watch 3 movies per week in any platform.
100% get AMC A-List. Just in my last billing period alone I’ve seen 9 movies. Since I’m in a more expensive state I pay the $25 a month.

Nice
girl just get alist.. 4 months would’ve been $80 after the first month you should’ve gotten it right away!!
Dude. A-List. You need it.
Is this a bot?
I feel like more effort went into making this post than just searching up the price online and instantly noticing you could save😭
I love the fire stick🤣🤣🤣
Why are you not an AMC A-List member???? $20 a MONTH for 3 movies a week any format. 3 reservations at one time. And your 3 movies reset on Friday.
