Inception @ AMC 34th St. May 2

Booked a private screening of Inception (not on AMC’s site or fandango et al.) next Saturday at 7PM at AMC 34th St. in NYC

All seats are recliners, tickets $27-$30.

Trying out a business idea - I rent a theater from AMC, pay the distributor, and I break even if I sell 90% of the seats 😬

Movie ticket resellers

This reseller situation at Lincoln Square IMAX is getting ridiculous at this point. It’s crazy how there’s now a whole group of people treating movie tickets like a flip opportunity, buying a bunch all at once just to resell them for way more. Like it’s a movie, not a limited-edition drop.

It honestly takes the fun out of it. Going to the movies is supposed to be easy, something you decide to do and just go. Now it’s starting to feel like you need to compete with people who don’t even care about the movie, they just want to make a quick profit.

And we’ve already seen how this goes. Concerts, festivals, consoles, sneakers, all of it got hit the same way. Real fans get pushed out while resellers sit in the middle taxing the whole experience. Now it’s happening to movie theaters too, which is wild because that used to be one of the last normal things left.

It also just changes the vibe. Instead of people being excited to see something together, it turns into who was fast enough or willing to overpay. That’s not what going to the movies is supposed to feel like.At some point something has to change. Better limits, stopping bulk purchases, whatever it is. Or people just stop buying resale altogether. Because if not, it’s just going to keep spreading and everything turns into this same annoying cycle. It’s exhausting and honestly just lame.

Any trailers before “Over Your Dead Body” Q&As at LS?

Were there any trailers before the Q&A screening earlier in the week at Lincoln Square? If so- was it the usual 20 plus minutes? Was going tonight and wanted to know beforehand what to expect. Thanks!

Angelika Q&As Before Screening

Has anyone been to a Q&A that’s before the screening (not after) at Angelika? Does the Q&A start at the listed time, or is the listed time for the screening and so Q&A would begin 20-30min prior?

Feedback for data insights for Project Hail Mary

Hey everyone - you might've seen my prior insights & analyses I've posted here, here, here, here, & here (a lot of these using PHM data as the backdrop) showing cancellations patterns, seat demand clusters, & premium format competition.

Since PHM has finished its run (or at least, IMAX runs primarily) I wanted to do a dedicated analysis on the film using first party data I was able to collect from our users.

What sorts of insights or data patterns would y'all be most interested in seeing regarding this movie? Right now I'm working on a narrative around the sheer demand for the film, an updated seat map that also factors in turnover, & the main windows of opportunity to book showtimes. But I'm open to ones y'all might want to see so I can consider them. Targeting Monday or Tuesday to publish the full insight & data narrative.

If we don't have it now, I'll aim to update the data model so we could collect it for releases like The Odyssey, Dune 3, Spider Man & others.

20 Centimeters (2005) free screening

This Wednesday (4/29), join the Queer Film Series at Ridgewood Commons for a night of karaoke at 7pm, followed by a screening of 20 Centimeters.

This Spanish-French musical follows a trans sex worker saving for bottom surgery, even as that goal threatens both her livelihood and a relationship with a man who loves her for the “20 centimeters” between her legs. For all its emotional tension, the film pulses with color, music, and spectacularly choreographed dance.

Spain, culturally conservative in so many ways, has nonetheless been a surprising leader in trans rights. At a moment when many trans people in the U.S. are being forced to relocate, Spain has emerged as a compelling refuge for queer people seeking stability and possibility.

Films like 20 Centimeters have played a meaningful role in shaping how Spanish audiences perceive and embrace their trans neighbors. Join us for an evening that celebrates not only a singular, dazzling film, but also a vision of trans life that reaches beyond struggle to insist on beauty, pleasure, and possibility.
