Cool Idea, but I need to know in advance what I'm giving money to lol.

I'd probably bet money I own each movie on digital as well.

Anyone can tell what the movies are just based on the run times? lol

Cinemark has been killing the game around me though with their classic movies.

The last October ones I'm betting are IT Chapters 1 and 2.

Yep, I'm sure that's what it is.

It's speculated the October 8th screening is for Halloween Kills.

I can't see it being $5 & a week before release. That'd be hilarious though

I might go and try to scope it out when I go to a theater for Bond

Google tells me Lamb and Annabelle comes home are also rated R and 106 minutes

How is it possible the whole list of movies hasn't leaked already on the Internet?

There's a chance that the theaters don't know what they are

Actually, this Friday will probably be Halloween (2018). It lines up as 1 hr 46 mins, and it makes sense they would show that leading up to the sequel.

They just use an AMC+ shuffle button. Everyone gets something different.

And the running times just happen to match?

[MifuneFan]

Today might be Crimson Peak based on runtime

Sure. If the movie is shorter, just play more ads. if it's longer, just speed up the movie

A couple decent ones in there, but nothing classic unfortunately. Tempted to see

[Show spoiler]Train to Busan

tonight. I was right about this Friday at least

[DarkEco910]

I own all of those except for the one glaringly bad film on Oct 20.

But I win for my guess on late Oct. lol
