AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron remains as fiercely optimistic as ever that brighter days are ahead for his theater chain and the box office.

    The AMC theater experience in my area is so poor that I strictly avoid it. Between no assigned seats, the old style fold down seats, sticking to floor as you walk, other patrons talking/being on their phone/using their phone flashlight during the movie, and the 30 minutes of pre-show ads, it just doesn’t make sense to spend money on it.

    If I do want to see a movie in theaters, I drive to the non-AMC theater that is 45 minutes away since it is just a much better experience and higher quality at a lower price.

      I’m surprised there’s still any AMC theaters that don’t have assigned seating. You might have a better experience in a premium format, as overpriced as a single ticket is, but it makes more sense with A listers if you see more than 2 movies a month. That being said your entire theater complex might just be shitty in general in which case sounds like avoiding altogether is a good choice. Idk just my 2 cents
