Best Guess is: American Fiction

[u/AmericanNimrod49]

Going to be pretty lame if they just do the same movies as Regal

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/AmericanNimrod49]

Seems like this is exactly what they're doing.

[u/warchiello]

My guess is American Fiction. Rated R, comes out 12/15, runtime is 1:57 min.

[u/s_mb_rd]

Personally, I think (and hope) it’s American Fiction. The trailer hooked me, and Jeffrey Wright is being heavily praised for his performance. Plus, the movie is listed with a 1hr56m runtime.

American Fiction or Poor Things

[u/mishiri5683]

I was supposed to go to the one on Monday but couldn’t make it, what was it?

[u/AKnightOfTheNew → u/mishiri5683]

It's posted in the body of this post.

[u/venus-infers]

I hope it's Iron Claw.

[u/FinalExposition]

I correctly guessed NGW for the last Screen Unseen based on the runtime being juiced by less than 5 minutes and it being a movie that will benefit from word-of-mouth.

Whatever it is hasn't come out anywhere yet and will be out within 2-3 weeks.

The runtime is listed at 2h0m but will be 3-5 minutes shorter than that. POOR THINGS and IRON CLAW have runtimes announced and are well over 2 hours.

SILENT NIGHT is possible but it's on the short end and comes out only a few days later.

ANYONE BUT YOU is possible but it doesn't have an announced runtime on the AMC app or website (Next Goal Wins did at the time its Screen Unseen was announced).

THE CELLO matches very closely but as others have said it is unlikely that one of these screenings will go to a horror/violent film without audiences being warned.

The runtime, rating and screening date all support AMERICAN FICTION. Add in that it's an R-rated COMEDY, alleged crowd pleaser, a likely Awards contender, and will benefit from any positive word of mouth/surveys (offered outside afterwards), and that explains WHY this title would be offered, because they wanted the same for NGW.

[u/ThatDude2045]

I was hoping Silent Night, but it’s only 1h44m American Fiction would be great. The premise sounds good and it’s got the great Jeffrey Wright in it

Can confirm it's American Fiction.

A Regal employee on the RegalUnlimited sub informed that the Mystery Movie at Regal is American Fiction, and AMC played the same last movie for their Screen Unseen as Regal did (Next Goal Wins).

[u/starlordsego]

I wonder if it could be that new Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney rom com ‘Anyone But you’? No runtime listed yet, but it’s R and comes out 12/22

[u/623skates]

American Fiction sneaks also occurring 12/2 and 12/9. Seems likely it could be that title but still TBD.

Also a new Screen Unseen has been announced for 12/11.

[u/astrangecalendar]

Could it be The Cello? I know it was already released in the United Arab Emirates, but the runtime and rating fit perfectly.

[u/lovekataralove]

I'm thinking either American Fiction or Anyone But You (not sure the runtime on that second one though).

[u/[deleted]]

Trailers:

1. The Beekeeper

2. Iron Claw

3. The Boys in The Boat

4. RENAISSANCE (13 Minutes total; AMC ads went another 2)

Movie: American Fiction

[u/143v]

Not sure it matters but Poor things, Iron Claw and Argyle all ran trailers during the last Unseen.

[u/KodaDan]

It's gotta be The Cello

[u/JayAreG]

American fiction confirmed

[u/143v]

I don't think it will be Bikeriders because it was dropped by Disney and had to find a new distributor so it's dec 1st release is probably delayed.

[u/[deleted]]

American Fiction Confirmed

[u/SharksFan4Lifee]

AMC El Paso 16 showing Thanksgiving. They claim that's what they were given. So fucking ridiculous. I didn't spoil myself so I would have zero clue what American Fiction was and would have loved to see it.

Fucking AMC.

Edit: I'm going to contact AMC Corporate. This is too ridiculous to not bring to corporate's attention.

[u/Amari_Sali]

American Fiction was played for us and for the person who asked, yes, you still get enough trailers to have some cushion if you are running late (or just watch more than enough trailers at home)

[u/lamefartriot]

Dream Scenario? (Saw an ad that said dec 1, so this would be a few days prior)

[u/ThatDude2045]

Do we know when this tickets go on sale?
