AMC Theatres will offer 50% off adult evening tickets every Wednesday for AMC Stubs members, starting July 9. This discount applies to premium formats like IMAX and Dolby Cinema.
Regal Cinemas provides $1 movie tickets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for select family films from June 10 to August 6, as part of their Summer Movie Express program.
Regal Crown Club members can also enjoy $6.99 movie tickets every Tuesday, along with 50% off popcorn at participating locations.
These discounts aim to combat diminished attendance in the post-pandemic and post-strike environment.
Why this matters: Discounted ticket programs can significantly impact movie theater attendance, particularly on weekdays. By making movies more affordable, theaters hope to attract a broader audience and increase overall revenue.
For years, Tuesdays have been popular for discounted movie tickets. AMC Theatres is now extending similar savings to Wednesdays, offering 50% off adult evening tickets for AMC Stubs members, beginning July 9. This initiative coincides with the release of anticipated films like *Superman* and *Jurassic World: Rebirth*.
Numerous sources indicate that AMC's CEO, Adam Aron, engaged in discussions with studios late last year to extend Tuesday’s discount to Wednesdays. Studios have been advocating for discounted Wednesday prices to boost attendance.
Regal Cinemas also offers a competing discount. Every Tuesday and Wednesday, from June 10 to August 6, all Regal locations will offer Regal's Summer Movie Express, during which a series of family movies will be available to watch for $1.
Cinemark Theatres, another major circuit, appears to be adopting a wait-and-see approach before implementing similar Wednesday discounts, while Regal is offering dollar tickets for family movies on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If AMC’s initiative proves successful, other chains may follow suit.
