AMC released this commercial before their movies a year or 2 ago. It got made fun of online, spoofed on SNL, etc.

So the tweet is just saying that before the movie someone stood up and recited the speech as she was doing it.

Man, I remember having to go theater-to-theater to get tickets for Jurassic Park THE NEXT DAY only to see every single time in the box office with a SOLD OUT sticker covering it.

Those were the days. You had to call the theater normally to see if things were sold out, but back in those days the phone lines were always busy, for DAYS, so you had to go in person.

Congo, same thing. Independence Day (ID-4).

No idea why I have these 3 burned into my mind, but man summer blockbusters used to be a cultural phenomenon.

I remember standing in a line around the block with my parents to see Ghostbusters at the old Palms Theater in Sugar Land. There was one screen so dad got tickets, drove us into Houston to go to the mall and we came back that evening to see the movie.

At the showing of Oppenheimer that I attended, most of the theater clapped at the beginning and end of the Nicole Kidman part.

But at my daughter's showing of Barbie, apparently most of theater actually recited Nicole Kidman's lines. I'd never heard of that before.

I first saw that commercial - ironically - before Top Gun Maverick.

I worked at a theater for many years starting as a HS senior. I knew nothing about concession or cash registers or box office. I was just an usher. At some point, the theatre made me a supervisor and decided the best time for me to learn to "supervise" concession, where I had never worked, was . . . opening weekend of Jurassic Park. I still have nightmares about that weekend.

But I learned concession.

Having done #Barbenheimer, I can confirm that the order should be BARBIE first, then OPPENHEIMER, but give yourself a break in between. Give both movies room to breathe. Have all the emotional fun with BARBIE, let it soak in, then see OPPENHEIMER and sit with the weight of it. pic.twitter.com/IFjnh4ShSH

Recognized that building before I even saw the word Palms. Saw many movies there, from Star Wars and Alien to Raiders of the Lost Ark to The Boogens (yeah, look that one up).

Interesting that the title on the marquee says "The Sugar Land Express" for a theater in Sugar Land.

---

Same here. That was the only place I saw movies from 1980 to 1990ish. Then Tinseltown opened off Beltway 8 and that was the place to go.

Shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. rocketed more than 60% higher on Friday after a judge in Delaware shot down a settlement that would have allowed the movie-theater chain to move ahead with a plan, maligned by some investors, to dump more shares onto the market, according to reports.

AMC has wanted to turn its so-called APE or AMC Preferred Equity preferred units into common stock. But Delaware Chancery Court Vice Chancellor Morgan Zurn rejected an earlier settlement that would have allowed that conversion to move forward.
