In response to "I'm extremely confident that if AMC collapses, somebody else will swoop in. But I cannot answer JD's question about how locations remain in business." by David

We mostly have AMCs around here so I'm really worried about them collapsing. I know that someone will buy them but who?

None of the theatre businesses are in great shape. Plus I'm assuming A-list goes out the window with a new buyer.

The one part of A-List that I greatly enjoyed but never understood was IMAX, Dolby Cinema, etc counting the same as any other ticket. - Spawn Apr 6, 13:10 11
- There's a word for it, gimmick. 99% of movie goers don't care about those tech things, let alone pay more for them. -- nm - con_carne Apr 6, 13:16 2
  - What I saw was people went to the showtimes that worked best for them. Price not a concern, even though Dolby C cost about 20% more than normal. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 13:17 1
    - Same. -- nm - JD Apr 6, 13:18
- It was for ease of use and to differentiate from Moviepass that had a lower price but addons for those types of tickets. - spamlet Apr 6, 13:13
- Wait, we had different A List tiers. Did you not? -- nm - David Apr 6, 13:12 6
  - I thought the only tiers were 50 state vs non-metropolitan states? -- nm* - spamlet Apr 6, 13:14 4
    - Correct. Geography based tiers. For example, California got thrown into the all US tier -- nm - JD Apr 6, 13:17
    - I know that Regal had tiers, and AMC didn't work for us. I thought it was because of tiers, too. Maybe I'm blurring them. -- nm - David Apr 6, 13:15 2
      - I can't remember what it was that gave us pause about AMC. - Orange Dummy Apr 6, 13:18 1
        
        Right. I remember we looked at it for like 45 minutes, and it just didn't work for us. - David Apr 6, 13:18
  - ? Seriously? I could go to any movie, any time. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 13:13
