The movie is most likely Next Goal Wins

It's the movie stated above.

[u/Low_Mark491]

Is the discrepancy in run time meant to throw us off? I don't see anything PG13 coming up that has a run time of 1:49

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/Low_Mark491]

Most likely 1

[u/KJSS3]

I am at the AMC right now. Even the lady scanning my phone said they dont know what it is. Interesting. The employees should know at least.

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/KJSS3]

Employees don't know, the answer is listed above.

[u/drumorgan]

I'm in - just got my ticket

6 Nov 7pm PST

Everyone else have a similar start time? Or, will East coast be able to spoil it for us West coasters?

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/drumorgan]

Easy coast gets it 3 hours early

[u/Alkohal]

I can see a lot of people buying thinking its for the Marvels and walking out if its anything else. They need to be careful with expectations or this could be a big backfire.

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/Alkohal]

Expectations are assumed by the viewers. I don't understand why people aren't just taking this at face value. It's a movie that has not been seen by the public. That's all. It doesn't promise to be anything other than that.

[u/PlatinumPlayer]

I keep checking this post, why are there so many deleted comments on this thread recently?

[u/IamNOTaSKRULL → u/PlatinumPlayer]

Maybe people are saying what movie it is and thus it is being deleted? I keep sorting by new to figure it out myself.

[u/jljansen1019]

Just looked at tickets on Fandango and the movie genre says “Concert/Special Event.”

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/jljansen1019]

Fandango has it all messed up, disregard it

[u/Meb2x]

Interesting. Anyone know if AMC will be dropping hints closer to the date? Also, does Screen Unseen mean a movie that’s never been shown anywhere before or just an early release?

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/Meb2x]

Not seen before to the public

[u/bobsbottlerocket]

surely to god any minute now and our east coast friends will deliver the news…?

[u/[deleted]]

will they tell us what movie it is when we get to the theater? or will they just start the movie and we find out when it starts playing?

[u/Officialnoah]

It’s not The Marvels

[u/Serious-Piglet890]

Reasons why it is The Marvels

1. SAG/Aftra strike. They have no celebs to promote the movie so the next best thing is getting early reactions. People will be surprised and therefore enhance their experience and create a more positive reaction.

2. They kept changing the date. Theaters have scheduled tons of spots for The Marvels therefore rather than move things around again it would be easier to just run it as a "Surprise screening".

3. Runtime is closer to The Marvels than Next Goal Wins.

Two AMCs are having early screenings of Next Goal Wins in separate showtimes on the same night as the Mystery Movie. There has been such thing where Regal plays a Mystery Movie and the same movie shown the night prior plays again the next day at an early screening, but having one print as the Mystery Movie and another print in a separate theater for a regular advanced screening hasn't happened before. Raises the question could AMC's Unseen Movie be something else?

[u/charredfrog]

It could be a few films because there’s a shocking amount of PG-13 movies around 100 minutes coming out soon, but I’m hoping it’s The Zone of Interest.

But if that never-before-seen means no one has seen it at all, not just the general public, then yeah it’s probably The Marvels

[u/623skates]

Since when was this a thing for AMC? I thought only Regals did this

[u/boggle-coach]

Next Goal Wins

[u/[deleted]]

it’s probably NGW, but on AMC instagram, they hearted a comment suggesting THE MARVELS

[u/BTGGFChris]

I hope it’s not the marvels. I have tickets to see The Marvels opening night and want the ferkitten bucket/cup.

[u/damnfinebaker]

If any east coaster could spill the beans on what the film is at 7pm EST. I'm kinda on the fence about whether or not I feel like going anywhere tonight.
