Another day, another new streaming service. AMC Theaters announced that it will launch a streaming subscription service. The service, dubbed AMC Theaters on Demand, will house, rent, and sell its 2,000 films. This will include newly released movies from Disney, Paramount, Universal, Sony, and Warner Bros. The service will cost $10 USD to $20 USD to buy a film and somewhere between $3 USD and $6 USD to rent them.
The offer comes as part of AMC’s Stub A-List, which allows users to watch three movies a week for $20 USD. The news comes about a month before Disney+ enters the streaming game. According to reports, AMC’s chief content officer Elizabeth Frank provided an example of how the service will work. She stated that users who bought a ticket to The Lion King, for example, “will all get a personalized message from AMC saying that they can now enjoy it at home through AMC Theaters On Demand” when the film is released digitally. Indeed an interesting concept, but will it take off? How will this change the way we watch movies? We will find out soon!
Find out more from AMC Theaters and look for much more from the streaming side of things coming soon. In the meantime, keep it locked here to The Culture Curators for more from the tech sector coming soon.
