Update 09/17/18: AMC Stubs A-List is now on Atom Tickets.
AMC has today announced a cinema subscription service to compete with MoviePass & Sinemia called ‘AMC Stubs A-List‘. The service will officially be available from June 26th, 2018. You can see up to three movies per week at any AMC in the U.S., this includes premium screenings (Dolby Cinema ®, IMAX® at AMC®, PRIME at AMC®, RealD® 3D, BigD® and D-Box). You’re also able to make advance reservations online and via the app without any charge. It will cost $19.95 per month and there is no discount if you purchase a yearly membership, in addition you have to stay subscribed for at least three months when you initially sign up.
(Note: This is the old pricing) In terms of pricing MoviePass costs $9.95 per month, gives you unlimited screening (but can only see each movie once) and no premium screenings. Sinemia costs varies, but the standard plan is $9.95 for two movies per month with at least one screening that can be a premium screening. AMC Stubs A-List obviously only works at AMC locations, whereas MoviePass/Sinemia work with other brands as well. If you have an AMC near you and want the ability to see premium screens/movies more than once I can see the attraction to A-List. Personally I don’t see movies that often and I don’t care about premium screens that much, so the $19.95 pricing isn’t that attractive to me. Are you currently using MoviePass/Sinemia? Will you switch to AMC’s new offering? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments below.
