AMC earnings call, THE BATMAN will kick-off variable pricing and be more expensive than other releases. notfabio Mar 01, 14:39

Looking at AMC Burbank an evening show in a standard showing is $19.49, Uncharted is $17.99 {nm} notfabio Mar 01, 14:39

AMC has ~33% market share, so TBATM box office goes up by ~2.5%. (19.49-17.99 = 1.5/17.99 = 2.75% {nm} Antibody Mar 01, 14:51

1.5/17.99 = .08 * .33 = 2.75% {nm} Antibody Mar 01, 14:52

I thought it was "Artisan". {nm} Antibody Mar 01, 14:43

Looking at Regal, they similarly are pricing THE BATMAN at $1.00 higher than UNCHARTED for the same 2D no frills ticket. {nm} notfabio Mar 01, 14:44

So may be something WB booking terms called for, vs AMC being greedy, will have to see what happens with Morbius/Fantastic Beasts {nm} notfabio Mar 01, 14:46

Spider-man was priced higher than other films during the first week probably more. {nm} Catzan Mar 02, 06:27

Either a WB terms thing, or their way of not raising prices on everything {nm} notfabio Mar 01, 14:48

TBATM iso 3 hrs+ so likely one less showtime per day. {nm} Antibody Mar 01, 14:58

Every media review thus far has one commonality - "way too long" {nm} Tallwonder Mar 01, 18:23

Yeah, probably no more than 4 screenings per theater and have to account for added clean-up... TheWeekendWarrior Mar 02, 05:47

Clarify... 4 screenings per physical theater within a larger movie theater... so 4 screenings per screen. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 02, 05:48

Typically, you need 30 minutes between shows to clean. Trailers are 12-25 minutes long depending on the circuit. 11a, 3p, 7p, 11p will be Catzan Mar 02, 06:31
