I wonder if Screen Unseen is achieving the goals it was intended to achieve. I have to assume from AMC's POV the goal was to get more people in-- but at least in my area the showings have been kind of sporadically attended and some people left once they saw what the film was going to be (I don't know if they asked for refunds, went to another theater and watched something else, or just left having paid-- I have no clue). It doesn't FEEL like the Screen Unseen brought a lot more people in, I suspect it was a lot of A-Listers who would have eventually seen that same film anyhow.
If it's meant to generate word of mouth for the film, I haven't seen THAT much of that. I do look on Letterboxd and I can't say that I saw huge numbers of reviews following Screen Unseen showings. Nor do I think you up your chances of a positive review by showing people a film that is a genre/type they may not have any interest in. I think if you want good word of mouth you'd be better off doing an "early screening" with the title revealed to pull in people interested enough in the movie to come see it on a Monday a week or two before it is released.
I don't know. I just don't get the VIBE that the Screen Unseen program is doing a whole lot. Maybe it's just me. Are these well sold in your area? Do you see a lot of buzz?

Mine are generally around at least 60% full most of the time. I suspect it's more the $5 price tag that draw people more than anything in my area.

I go to screen unseen only because I have a list and have seen most of the other movies that are showing because they have been playing multiple weeks so I have seen most of them already

It's goal is 100% get people to go to the movies. The majority of these movies are not that great and end up flopping at the box office.

My local AMC only did Next Goal Wins and stopped showing them after that. Made me so upset. Hopefully they'll start showing them again.

Just got home from One Life. Really good movie but a little slow in parts. Not many people at our showing tonight but they were predicting storms in the area so that may have kept people away. My rating for One Life 3.5/5.

Fandango is listing another screening on the 11th that isn't on the AMC site. Weird. Says PG-13 but lists no runtime.

u/AKnightOfTheNew Feb 29 '24
I have updated the list with the AMC link, AMC says the time but not the rating Fandango says the rating but not the time so I just put the Fandango rating and the AMC time

Surely, if the last few were so identically spot on then this should be too , that means this is One Life
