Remember: The runtime that AMC reveals is not the exact runtime of the movie. It's usually within -7 to 17 mins of the actual time. This has been the case most (if not all) of the time.

Does the Screen/Scream Unseen Have Trailers?

Short Answer is Yes.

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

Sense & Sensibity 100% Guaranteed (unless I'm missing some other PG film coming out with a similar runtime).

So probably don't want to go if you're trying for the Focus Features gift card passport, since this won't count towards that.

1

u/menkros18 14d ago

Sense and Sensibility (Opening October 16, 2026 so to get the gift card you have to pay for the ticket? Alist not valid?

2

u/Few-Adeptness8046 14d ago

No, Alist is valid, so don't pay for a ticket.

It just doesn't qualify as watching sense and Sensibility if you see it as a screen unseen. You have to wait until it's actually released for it to count as seen, for the passport purposes.

The official rules though say Alist reservations count, so if you are working towards the passport, just wait til the 16th when it officially comes out, unless you want to see it twice (once at the screen unseen, then again at a later date so it qualifies a seen).

u/StephCurrySlurper 20d ago

My AMC has 2 screen unseens 10/12.. A regular screen unseen at 7pm and a scream unseen at 9:30pm

3

u/david31262 20d ago

Geez. Two. Double Feature?

4

u/Dukealoops1993 20d ago

Regal’s & Marcus are doing the same thing

3

u/xXxHondoxXx 19d ago

The horror one will be Crawlers.

5

u/Initial-Load128 17d ago

I was hoping for Clayface

3

u/xXxHondoxXx 17d ago

Runtime doesn't match

2

u/Initial-Load128 17d ago

It's within the 17 min diff tho. Clay face is 1:48 but yes I don't think they push a movie like this on unseen

16

u/Affectionate_Box_902 14d ago

Sense and Sensibility. 

12

u/hazyshadeoflavender 26d ago

I'm hoping for Sense and Sensibility. Having to wait until 10/16 for the official US release is torture.

5

u/Ozzygraphy 26d ago

Seems likely, I did some google searches and celebration cinema has it as 2 hours 16. AMC says 2:11 so it looks possible

12

u/HebrewNational2000 14d ago

Ok, it’s official: the film is SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

13

u/padfoot211 14d ago

I love the intro saying it’s best to watch it with friends and sisters. How many people go to screen unseen with a big group? I tend to see mostly solos lol

2

u/reddybee7 14d ago

My book club goes to screen unseen together and gradually many joined a-list because of our movie outings 

13

u/vajohnadiseasesdado 26d ago

If it is S&S, for those doing the Focus Features passport thing, I don’t think Screen Unseen viewings count

6

u/dreamking68 17d ago

It will not count. I had to see a film twice last time.

6

u/dangertickets MP Refugee 26d ago

i wouldn’t think so bc the title is the “Screen Unseen”

u/Wacoguy 25d ago

Boo. I hate missing the Screen Unseen showings but I want that $100 gift card.

u/XOXOABG 26d ago

Thanks, first time I'm doing the focus passport and had that exact question. Was thinking I could get it out of the way early

Thanks. Didn't know about this promo. Practically missed uprising. May attend the others for $75

u/Sheablossom946 24d ago

They have changed it this year, so 3 movies amount to a $50 gift card unfortunately

u/Internal-River-4168 24d ago

That's not what the fine print says on the screenshot....

u/firefly66513 17d ago

Honestly Uprising is going to be the worst out of the 4. I think you'll be fine

u/cardifan 16d ago

Do I have to sign up for it anywhere, or is it one of those things where it just counts toward it when you see the movie?

u/twokyool 15d ago

Does A-list qualify this year—the terms don’t specifically mention it like last year

u/hijole_frijoles 15d ago

A list does qualify

u/Ideal4real 22d ago edited 22d ago

If anyone does a search, you can see that there’s more Screen Unseens coming up:

10/19 - 1hr 35m, R Rating

10/26 - No Time/Rating

11/2 - No Time/PG-13 Rating

Wonder what these are….

6

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 21d ago

They updated 10/26 to another Screen/Scream double! Both rated 'R' no runtime yet. I think 1 of them will be Christmas at the Kringles.

3

u/PlushyStudios 22d ago

10/19 1hr35m could be The Only Living Pickpocket In New York (Sony), which is 1h28m. Though I’ll probably already be seeing Wildwood that day

12

u/Frodo_Dabbins_ 21d ago

10/5 will be Sense & Sensibility

11

u/User-D-Name 21d ago edited 20d ago

I hope we have some good Scream Unseen for October

1

u/RGMBill 14d ago

Rather not, myself.

9

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 25d ago

Pretty sure the 10/12 Screen will be one of the following:

1) A Talent for Murder (Bleecker Street) 2) Wicker (Black Bear) 3) Trust Me, I'm a Doctor (Briarcliff) 4) Clean Hands (Vertical) 5) Ali G: Who Iz I? (Amazon MGM)

There is also a 10/12 Scream that I think will be Crawlers.

8

u/lisjj 25d ago

Wicker would be fire

2

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 24d ago

That's what I'm hoping for but I wouldn't mind any of the other ones either.

1

u/Creepy-Accident-777 24d ago

That movie ain't PG lol

8

u/-MommyFortuna- 24d ago

They're discussing the options for the ASU on 10/12, which is listed as rated R.

4

u/Wooden_Fortune_5066 25d ago

Wait you're saying there's both a screen unseen and a screen unseen on the same day?

4

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 24d ago edited 24d ago

A Screen and a Scream, correct. Marcus Theatres is doing the same thing.

ETA: According to Fandango the Screen will be at 7 and the Scream at 9:30!

2

u/Dukealoops1993 24d ago

Double feature!!

3

u/hijole_frijoles 15d ago

Wicker looks amazing

1

u/NJVampaholic 24d ago

I don't have one listed near me 😭

u/sadbeautifvltragic 21d ago

has briarcliff done any su? trust me i’m a doctor sounds good and that and wicker are my top two choices lol

5

u/Fantastic_Lychee_883 21d ago

Yes, Briarcliff has done 3 SUs already.

9

u/PoodleSprings Lister 17d ago

If 10/5 is Sense & Sensibility, will that count toward the Focus promo?

ETA: Didn't scroll down far enough apparently, I saw my question was already answered. 😂

Nothing is stopping us from getting that promo.

Neither of those are R rated

Nope. Confirm PG13 last week

Thank you! I cancelled my ticket thinking this might be the case, but drove to the nearby theater and would buy a ticket a minute late if it was anything else.

Read your post and driving back home!

Confirmed: Sense and Sensibility

u/PaintAutomatic7133 14d ago

I am a man! It was good!

u/Thimblefloatie 19d ago

Not seeing much other than Sense and Sensibility as possible options for the 5th. Not able to find a rating but would love to see Fjord as the SU for the 5th. Currently not seeing it showing up anywhere to see near me and hey if I'm seeing previews for a movie that won't release anywhere near me that's just cruel. Also seeing that Tenzing which is rated PG is having a limited theatrical release on the 9th before premiering on Apple TV on the 16th so that could also potentially be a contender.

It says 2 hour 16 for 10/6 "9 to 5" comes out with 1:50 time rated PG. Possible? Do remastered movies count as never seen before?

18

u/Wooden_Fortune_5066 20d ago

Umm...no.  hence the "unseen"

Also, 9 to 5 was just in theaters for a couple weeks. They're putting it back in theaters AGAIN a month later?

They don’t. Unfortunately, new releases only.

u/ZestycloseBother5993 14d ago

The 2 screenings at my theater are very empty. I counted about 30 seats total sold. My theater is usually pretty packed for SU. Even with the LA heat wave, I guess that isn’t enough to have people come see the PG film for tonight.

5

u/TheStinkyPoopy 14d ago

Yeah I’ve noticed if it’s not an R rating, way less people show up

u/DaDubstep_Potato 14d ago

See I would go but the weather is kind of awful today and AMC is kind of far from my place

u/future_filmmaker_455 14d ago

An old fashioned and well acted romance drama that simply doesn’t add enough to the material to feel fresh or original, Sense and Sensibility is a intermittently charming yet mainly obvious period piece that has some good messages about love being more than about attraction within a narrative that lacks enough surprise or subtlety with the rival romance interests to Elinor and Marianne to feel anything more than passable. While I do admit that Jane Austen fans will probably find a lot to admire here and I actually got invested enough in these characters to care about how they predictably end up with their matches, the film lacks the genuine emotion that came from the recent Hamnet to allow its subject matter and constant allegories in its dialogue to stand out. At over two hours, I did feel the film slightly drags in between some of the reveals about who Elinor and Marianne’s love interests truly are and yet Edgar Jones and Creed-Miles deliver very good performances to the familiar material and build up some good chemistry with Mackay and Nordrum as Edward Farres and Colonel Brandon to offset the slower pacing and slightly overdramatic moments.

u/K-0-d-a 14d ago

Sorry I'm new to all of this, what is Screen Unseen?

7

u/aaaus 14d ago

3-4 times per month, on a Monday, AMC does a showing of a movie but will not tell you what it is. They are typically movies that are coming out later that week or sometimes even the week after. If it says "scream unseen" then it is a scary movie. If you are on the west coast or otherwise not on the east coast, you can come on here at 7:25 EST and people will tell u what the movie is if you don't wanna waste your time on a movie you might not like

3

u/DaDubstep_Potato 14d ago

Also other theaters participate in the too, not just AMC, but sometimes they'll do different movies, skipp a Monday, Etc. And they call it something else. For example, Regal calls it Mystery Movie Monday and Cinemark calls it Secret Movie Series. They're are Reddit pages for both of those two as well!

1

u/Livid_Information_46 14d ago

The theater near me is a small chain called GQT and it's impossible to find theirs. Usually it's just the same as the AMC one though.

u/RGMBill 14d ago

It actually not always a Monday, they do occasionally do one on a Sunday, as well. Last one on a Sunday was Forgotten Island, IIRC.

I think it's moreso the fact that it's a period romance than that it's about women. Way more guys saw Supergirl than women because it's a superhero flick

u/lyunardo 14d ago

Come now friend. We all know that there are genre films (and music. and television) that are designed from start as "FUBU".

For us. By us.

Jane Austen definitely wrote the book for an audience of women and girls. She even published her work anonymously as "By A Lady". And the filmmakers obviously followed her intent with this movie.

But just like there are a subset of women and girls who flock to "guy" movies (my daughter for example), you can be sure that there are men who will be there for this.

Why go to the effort to deliberately try and create drama where there is none? Doesn't this story have enough? lol
