Just a heads-up for everyone working theaters: Pressure: The Untold True Story of D-Day releases May 29, and if your location gets it, be ready for a potentially different crowd than the usual weekend audience.

War films based on real events can pull in older audiences, history enthusiasts, veterans and military families, school groups, and people who may not be regular moviegoers. That can sometimes mean more questions at box office and guest services about showtimes, seating, accessibility options, premium formats, military discounts, and historical content.

Might be worth checking staffing, auditorium prep, and making sure everyone knows where the film is scheduled if your theater is carrying it. Better to have everyone aware ahead of time than get blindsided on opening weekend.

Anyone else expecting this to be busier than people think?

I just got to the theater to see Passenger and I usually always sit in the balcony which is 21+ and the guy told me today that they are no longer doing that and that anyone can sit up here… kinda annoying cause it was nice to have just “adults” up here but why do you think AMC has done this? I ask the guy this question and he just said “it just cause don’t have check ID’s”…

Considering bringing a lightsaber to The Mandalorian and Grogu for an AMC viewing. It's a Galaxy's Edge lightsaber, so non-retractable. Is it permitted?

yes, it is the only true IMAX that i have gone to (other amc imax that ive went to are Grove, Americana, and Westfield Century) so the screen is really great.

but i just noticed today, that it has probably the worst seat (comfort-wise and visivility-wise) among all of those i visited.

at the other theaters, you can basically almost lie down and still have your view not blocked by the one in your front. Universal on the other hand, will have your view blocked even if you sit upright. and im not even short.

Hi, I’m really hoping there’s a second wave for the movie since I literally couldn’t make it for any of the showings and REALLY want to go see it in theaters! Do we think there’s a chance for a second wave? Or a chance it comes out on streaming services?

I was wondering how the StarWars unlimited cards were being distributed at the theatres today and tomorrow. I have an interesting situation. My dad lives in a different state and plays the StarWars Unlimited card game. It’s how he has met friends and has found his community. There is only one AMC theater in his state but it’s 2.5 hours away. He and his friends aren’t able to make the drive and want the cards. I want to bring him back some cards (aka score daughter of the year) but I was curious if they are handing them out before the movie or how to make sure I secure one. Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

i know they go on sale tomorrow does anyone know if that starts at opening or for 1st show time?

They weren't my kids, instead belonging to the people in the back of the theater. Nothing offsets a sense of dread like a baby cooing.

Why do people do this?

Not a single one? Come on AMC!

Also, they shouldn’t show previews months in advance for movies that they won’t end up showing.

Any other cities surprisingly not getting Tuner?
