Moviegoers Receive Unprecedented Access To IMAX As Part Of New AMC Stubs A-List Program

New York ( June 20, 2018 ) -

MAX theatregoers will be able to experience IMAX movies at no additional upcharge as part of AMC Theatres’ launch today of the AMC Stubs A-List rewards program. IMAX Corporation (IMAX) believes this program will greatly expand the IMAX audience.

“We expect to see a surge in demand for IMAX tickets from this exciting new program, which should drive incremental revenue to IMAX® theatres by offering consumers – for the first time – the freedom to experience blockbusters such as Jurassic World in IMAX over standard offerings for no additional upcharge,” said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond.

Under the terms of the agreement between IMAX and AMC, AMC will ensure there is no reduction in IMAX’s overall economics. Further, the addition of IMAX to AMC Stubs A-List program will not impact IMAX’s studio arrangements and the incremental attendance should result in increased revenues.

Gelfond added, “This initiative comes at an exciting time in our partnership with AMC following the launch our next-generation IMAX with Laser. We believe the combination of this innovative new program, together with the introduction of laser and other network-wide theatre enhancements, provide the perfect opportunity to attract new customers to The IMAX Experience®. Different versions of this type of program have worked well in Europe for more than a decade to drive incremental attendance and we feel strongly that given the choice, audiences will want to see their favorite films in IMAX.”
