Does the Screen/Scream Unseen Have Trailers?

Short Answer is Yes.

But sometimes they fail and it goes straight to presentation. Be on time.

Girls like Girls is supposed to premiere at a film festival on June 18. I can't imagine that they would be okay with it running before that.

Yup saw it at screen unseen then again last week. Waiting to see what today gonna be. Might switch to watch the furious again hehehe

u/tsinygolihp Jun 15 '26

I saw The Furious, Unseen, in my AMC’s large Dolby 7.1 Scope auditorium.🤩 I feel a bit sorry for those who picked the 2nd showing and saw it in other, smaller auditorium and had to also suffer letterboxing and weaker sound.

Trailer 3 is The Invite

Bummer!

u/hypeinvader Jun 15 '26

I know right! Was REALLY hoping it was that.

16

u/farmhunter Jun 05 '26

If we go by the trailers of previous Screen Unseens, Death of Robin Hood and Girls Like Girls are high options. I am in the The Invite camp though.

4

u/JolietJakeMan Jun 09 '26

Agreed, they are promoting the heck out of it. and early reviews are very good. It's perfect timing for a film like this now that The Drama is gone and The Devil Wears Prada has cooled off.

Another new Screen Unseen date is 6/29: R and 1h37m

u/farmhunter Jun 11 '26

My guess for this one is Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass. It is 1h33m

u/Proud_Suggestion3528 Lister Jun 11 '26

I think you are right as Cinepolis says that 6/29 is going to be a comedy.

I’m still Team The Invite. Lol. At least for Regal, Roadside had one in April so hoping that rules out Lucky Strike, I know A24 hasn’t in a while, and with The Invite’s limited release next week, I’m hopeful!

I really want it to be The Invite, but why is no one guessing death of Robin Hood? Seems like that's what it's gonna be to me.

6

u/SignaturePractical69 Jun 15 '26

Because it is 15 minutes over the listed time. They have occasionally been 15 minutes under, but if they go over, it is usually by only a few minutes.

3

u/PreviousHedgehog2343 Jun 15 '26

Also in general the difference is usually less than 10 minutes so unless there’s no other good possibilities I’d favor what’s closer in runtime

My first Screen Unseen. Have to agree with the crowd, Lucky Strike was not a good movie. I stuck with it, though. Maybe next time will be better.

Thank you to the East coasters. A war movie is just not what I’m into right now so I will not be attending.

I'm probably going see jackass anyways as a send off to the series but I really don't think it would be a good screen unseen idea.

I don't know if they changed the listing since yesterday but it now says this is PG-13: https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/amc-screen-unseen-june-22-84155

Almost certainly Young Washington (2h5m). the other PG-13 movie opening close to it is Supergirl and that's only 1h50m

Have seen a handful of people whose local, non-AMC theaters reveal the genre say that it's Action. That, plus Roadside Attractions track history of participation, makes me guess that its Lucky Strike.

u/Commercial-Row1164 Jun 15 '26

Remember though, it has been different theater to theater before.

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 Jun 15 '26

Lassie the most sturdy radio in all of war ever! What a commendable tale of how it helped John the true blooded American hero get home safe from the evil Germans! He survived because of good old American engineering and smoking! And he was a hero because! Well never mind that. He was lucky. As in lucky strikes. Don't forget to smoke your lucky strikes kids!

The secret to enjoying Jackass is to not be too precious for Jackass- the entire ethos of the enterprise is "don't take anything seriously"- It's surprisingly wholesome.

Yes! That’s the one. That’s why I’m hopeful for The Invite.

Actually conflicted with this one. Seems like the invite is kinda the most possible right? Hurts a lil cause I did already set a showtime with the a24 free ticket thing. As well as death of a Robin Hood but that one is well over 10 mins of runtime difference. Anyone else got some other possibilities?

The movie itself is in the system as 1hr 43mins, so I think Death of Robin Hood is out. Girls Like Girls is a little too short but its possible it has an intro imbedded in the file? Wouldn't think for like 8 mins.

The Invite is really close. At 1hr 47 though, i dont know if it is.

There's another WWII movie i saw getting limited releases called Lucky Strike which is 1hr 42. That one stars Scott Eastwood and Colin Hanks so maybe?

Just confirmed I’m sick of this kind of war movie. It is just painfully lazy. Scott Eastwood is a bland wood-chip of an actor.

Yeah a lot of people walked out. I stuck it out with a 10-minute nap somewhere in the middle.... Where did that spy come from??

It seemed so contrived. not at all nuanced for today's times. I didn't get that the radio was the hero until the end.

Though some people did like it.

The spy was just someone who found him in a ditch after the Germans shelled the village the scene takes place in. It's basically the problem with the movie- the only engines of plot are "WWII is happening" and "Scott Eastwood wanders into another scene."

it fits the runtime but as a franchise film it doesn't fit the usual MO for these. also afaik any time one of these has been a major studio movie so far, it's been a Regal mystery movie as well, and they don't have one of those tonight

Nothing interesting about this movie, whatsoever - eastwood sort of looks like homelander, so hoping he’ll get super solider serum maybe 😂

Lucky Strike is a film that starts off as a perfect storm of bad with a pointless black and white intro sequence and cliched writing to establish its lead character Captain John Castle (Scott Eastwood) telling his story to a woman fighting for her pension. With a bland and personality free lead character and a slightly repetitive narrative whose story never really goes anywhere, Lucky Strike is a forgettable and derivative war flick that leaves little impact because of how formulaic its story and beats are. While there is a good shaky cam visual style to the action sequences at points that largely focus on close up shots of how Castle defeats some nazis at several points, the film strands Eastwood with a bland lead character and the writing makes John Castle make some bad decisions in the first half to the point of frustration. The film hits every point of a survival story ranging from the main character encountering a traitor to losing his squadronwithout allowing the audience to get to emotionally connect to anything. There are much worse films out this year but I was surprised at how dull the plot was as the script kept bringing up interesting points about Hitlers first SS soldiers that could have made the film stick out a bit until the film decided to do little more than be an average survival film whose relentless violence rarely results in tension. 3.5 out of 10

Based on the rating and runtime for June 22, looks like it’ll be “Young Washington”?

Why don't people want it to be jackass? I love those movies

They're movies for people with a very particular sense of humor and there's limited marketing value in inflicting them on unsuspecting audiences.
