In 1920, the Dubinsky Brothers began operations with a single movie screen in Kansas City, Missouri, marking the beginning of what is known today as AMC Entertainment, the largest theatrical exhibitor in the world.
To celebrate the 100-year anniversary, AMC is throwing it back to the year it all started by offering “Movies in 2020 at 1920 Prices.” When the first wave of more than 100 AMC Theatres reopens on Aug. 20, moviegoers can again enjoy the magic of the big screen at 1920 ticket prices. For one day only, on Aug. 20, all tickets at AMC will be priced at 15 cents (plus sales tax).
After Aug. 20, bring-back titles such as the special “Inception” 10th anniversary event, as well as titles like “Black Panther,” “Back to the Future,” “Ghostbusters,” “Grease” and “Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back” will be priced at $5.
AMC is also offering an array of $5 food and beverage treats, including regular popcorn, regular Coca-Cola Freestyle drink and KidsPacks, through the end of October. And all AMC Stubs members will earn double points on all ticket and food and drink purchases through the end of October.
Missouri is not listed among the states with theaters that are opening on Aug. 20. Theaters are opening only after authorized to do so by state and local officials.
