On the August 17, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta will discuss the latest film and tv news, including a Big Thunder Mountain movie, another Saw film, and in the mail bag we’ll answer a question about how AMC A-List contributes to the Box Office.
In The News:
In The Mailbag: Matt Y writes in “I have always wondered about this topic and thought that maybe Ryan could illuminate further. How do monthly subscription programs like AMC Stubs A-list count toward box office numbers? My understanding of MoviePass was that the company was actually buying the ticket at full price, but they were not affiliated with any specific theater chain. When I use my AMC membership to see a movie at AMC, are they paying themselves for each ticket? Is someone seeing Spiderman: No Way Home three times a week under their membership counted the same as someone paying "out of pocket" and seeing it just as often? Is this another area of nebulous "Hollywood accounting"? I would just be curious to hear you and Ryan discuss this sometime. Thanks for years of regular podcast content! -Matt”
