Leave sticky floors, broken seats, and whispering audiences behind with AMC Theatres On Demand<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The world’s largest cinema chain<\/a> this week introduced a new digital streaming service<\/a> for members of its AMC Stubs rewards program.<\/span><\/p>\n

At launch, the platform offers approximately 2,000 movies<\/a> to rent or buy\u2014including fan favorites <\/span>Toy Story 4<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>The Lion King<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“AMC Theatres is in a unique position to promote specific movies with greater personalization than has ever been possible before,” CEO Adam Aron said in a statement. “Through the launch of AMC Theatres On Demand, we can reach movie lovers directly and make it easy for them to access films digitally.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Motion pictures are available in the U.S. only; prices vary from $3 to $6 for rentals and $10 to $20 for purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while the pay-as-you-go program does not require a subscription fee, users must have an AMC Stubs Insider account, which is free to join and earns you 20 points per $1 spent, complimentary large popcorn refills, exclusive screenings, and an annual birthday gift, among other perks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stubs members will also have access to features from AMC Network’s IFC Films and RLJE Films catalogues beginning later this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is a great opportunity for us to both make our film titles available to movie customers and also increase awareness of our growing streaming services, which are all focused on specific genres and content categories fans are passionate about,” according to Ed Carroll, chief operating officer of AMC Networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If you are a fan of horror, or British drama, that interest translates to the television screen, the movie theater, the phone, or anywhere anyone can consume content today,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rent or buy talkies through AMCTheatres.com, the AMC Theatres mobile app, or Roku and SmartTVs. More platforms and devices are coming soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company has agreements with every major Hollywood studio to make at least some of their flicks\u2014new releases and popular hits included\u2014available digitally.<\/span><\/p>\n

As with most movie subscription services<\/a>, though, you’ll have to wait until after their theatrical runs are over.<\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate the launch, AMC Stubs members who use their first transaction to download a Lionsgate or Paramount Pictures flick\u2014try <\/span>Rocketman<\/span><\/i> or <\/span>John Wick: Chapter 3 \u2013 Parabellum<\/span><\/i>\u2014can choose three more flicks from that studio’s selection.<\/span><\/p>\n
