The milestone comes after the world’s largest theatrical exhibitor reported a net loss of $130.2 million compared to profit of $17.7 million in its most-recent fiscal period. Revenue dropped 13.2% to $1.2 billion.
Indeed, AMC contends the service contributing to the bottom line as A-List members bring friends and family with them to the movies.
Launched in 2018, $19.95 Stubs A-List affords subscribers up to three movies per week, in every available AMC showtime and format, including “Imax at AMC,” “Dolby Cinema at AMC,” RealD 3D and “Prime at AMC.”
Stubs A-List subs have the same privileges as AMC Stubs Premiere members, including free upgrades on popcorn and soda, free refills on large popcorn, express service at the box office and concession stand, no online ticketing fees and 100 points for every $1 spent on the monthly Stubs A-List fee, tickets purchased for friends and family, and food & beverage spending at AMC.
AMC Stubs Premiere and A-List uers receive a $5 reward for every 5,000 points earned, which translates to a 10% credit toward future AMC purchases.
