AMC Is Selling All-You-Can-Watch Tickets…If All You Want to Watch Is Interstellar

AMC Theatres and Paramount Pictures are excited to offer AMC Stubs members a first-of-its-kind INTERSTELLAR Unlimited Ticket, which allows AMC’s loyal moviegoers to see the film as many times as they’d like for one price. AMC Stubs members who have already seen the movie have an option to upgrade to the unlimited ticket at AMC…”Christopher Nolan has created a masterpiece that movie fans are saying gets better every time they see it,” said Elizabeth Frank, executive vice president and chief content and programming officer, AMC Theatres.

Really? What movie fans are those, who, during awards season when a ton of good movies are opening, will sit through the same nearly three-hour film multiple times, until the spectacle wears off and the opportunity to nitpick plot points become more and more apparent? It’s like entering a black hole of nerdery – you’ll get home and find your kids have grown up in the meantime.

The INTERSTELLAR Unlimited Ticket price varies by location, ranging from $19.99 to $34.99. All AMC Stubs members who have already purchased a ticket to the movie can upgrade for $14.99.

Ironically, the DVD will probably cost less than that.

Besides, this is AMC we’re talking about. I have never been to an AMC where it wasn’t super-easy to just walk into any theater you like when your movie is done. They never close auditorium doors or check anything at most of the ones I’ve been to in my life. But they do have chicken strips, and that makes up for a lot.
