AMC Slashes Mid-Week Ticket Prices by 50% Starting July

Wednesday is set to become the new favorite day for movie lovers, as AMC Theaters has announced a groundbreaking initiative: slashing ticket prices by half every Wednesday. This move is designed to boost mid-week attendance and give moviegoers a fantastic deal. Yes, you heard correctly—tickets will be available at half the price.

Starting July 9, this all-day discount will be based on the standard adult evening ticket price. What's even more exciting is that premium showings, such as IMAX or 4DX, will also enjoy the 50% discount. This is a phenomenal opportunity, especially considering the typically higher costs of these premium experiences for individuals, families, or groups.

Aron noted that while the first quarter saw lower-than-expected box office numbers, which he referred to as an "anomaly," the situation has since improved significantly. The success of films like A Minecraft Movie and Sinners has driven a notable recovery. Since April 1, ticket sales have surged, with A Minecraft Movie grossing an impressive $408 million and Sinners bringing in $215 million and continuing to climb.

Moreover, the summer blockbuster season is just heating up, with highly anticipated releases like Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning and Disney's live-action Lilo and Stitch on the horizon. July will also see the premieres of the new Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. These upcoming releases promise to further boost box office numbers, and AMC's new Wednesday discount initiative is poised to enhance attendance and revenue during this exciting period.
