Surprise theatrical showings for D+ day - Blu-ray Forum

BluBonnet · 11-08-2021, 04:44 PM

Has anybody heard about this?

I was gonna post this in the D+ thread but since that's usually just for the stuff they're streaming, I figured it would get lost in there... Mods, if you feel this doesn't deserve a separate thread please merge with the main Disney+ thread!

I'm hoping that last category is an MCU.

Still don't understand why they expect people to pay $5 to watch a movie at AMC when they could just be watching it at no extra charge if they are already D+ subscribers...

Why go to the movies at all? Just wait until it comes "free" on your streaming subscription.

By the way, I don't think the tickets are $5.

They are, or you can use AMC A-list.

You also get a free poster, and discounts on a popcorn / drink combo

I'm going to a 20th anniversary screening of Fellowship of the Ring at the end of the month, and if Disney ever rereleases a Renaissance film or one of Walt's films, then I will go as well, I actually went to The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast in 2018, it was fun.

I mean, you're right, of course, but I was talking about this as a promotion that is celebrating a streaming service... so sending people to the theater would seem almost counter-intuitive...

I don’t understand why you need to ask that question.

Why would a restaurant expect you to go out and buy a meal when you can eat the food you have at home for free?

Wow, that's a dazzling but of insight there, mate. I'm sure nobody in the forums would have realised that if you hadn't pointed it out....

Only what's on the AMC website,

https://www.amctheatres.com/disney-p...enings-weekend

Participating theaters are listed by every state. Looks like the showings will be Fri-Sun. I imagine it's the same 4 movies everywhere and not random and different for each theater.

trevrox · 11-09-2021, 03:23 PM

Surprise Star Wars screening is listed at 2hr 13min which means it will be Rogue One.

The last category is 1hr 48min which means it is not an MCU. The Dark World is the shortest MCU movie at 1hr 52min

The 1:48 is likely either Rocketeer or Alice in Wonderland: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...=344980&page=2

Even without running time I figured it would be Rogue One. I feel like it’s probably the most liked of the Disney SW movies, or at most second to Force Awakens but much more stand alone.

I would totally agree with that!

Guy87 · 11-10-2021, 02:28 PM

True.

Also, most times the sound's better also.

And... neither the size of the screen nor the sound has absolutely anything to do with what I was saying.
