AMC Theatres Is Adding More Pre-Movie Ads; Is This a Nessassary Evil For Theaters To Survive? — GeekTyrant
If you've ever checked your watch 15-20 minutes into what should've been the start of your movie, only to be greeted by yet another trailer or car commercial, well... buckle up. Starting July 1, AMC Theatres, the biggest movie chain in the world, is adding even more ads before the film actually begins. AMC has inked a deal with National CineMedia Inc. to begin running what's called a 'platinum spot', which will feature an ad shown right before the movie starts, in that final stretch of trailers when the anticipation is peaking. It's an ad that audiences won't miss. This is a move aimed squarely at generating what AMC calls 'vital revenue,' and here's what they had to say about it: 'While AMC was initially reluctant to bring this to our theaters, our competitors have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance.' They're not wrong. Regal and Cinemark signed on to this model years ago. AMC was the last holdout. But, after the pandemic ravaged the exhibition industry and with 2024 delivering a mixed bag at the box office, the company is looking for every dollar it can find. Still, it's hard not to feel a little defeated. As a movie fan, you want theaters to thrive. You want AMC to survive because the industry needs it to survive. But making the moviegoing experience worse, especially when it's already fighting the "I'll just wait to stream it" mindset, feels like a step in the wrong direction. It's funny, because AMC's slogan is 'We Make Movies Better' but this will make the movie going experience at their theaters worse. It's not like audiences don't notice. According to AMC's own website: 'The listed runtime is the duration of the feature film. The feature film does not start at the published showtime. There are approximately 20 minutes of preshow material, including trailers, between the published showtime and the start of the feature film.' And now, that 'preshow' just got longer. To be fair, AMC is trying some genuinely good stuff. Discount Wednesdays are coming back, which is a solid move to get casual audiences back in the habit. But commercials? That's just another reason for people to show up late, or skip the theater entirely. This isn't about hating on ads. It's about the core experience. People go to the movies for escape, not to see ads for insurance rates or real estate agents. If the industry really wants to survive, maybe it should focus more on reminding us why we fell in love with movie theaters in the first place, not why we keep showing up 25 minutes late.

‘Dangerous Animals': DoorDash for sharks
However, I must mention that Stuart Gordon's grisly splatter masterpiece, 'Re-Animator' also played at Cannes 40 years ago. But that film didn't run in the esteemed 'Directors' Fortnight' section like this one. Considering that the violent, gory genre mashup ' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Jai Courtney as Tucker in 'Dangerous Animals.' (AMC) Mark Taylor/AMC Advertisement Byrne takes his time with screenwriter Nick Lepard's story. We don't discover Tucker's sadistic execution method of choice until around the 40-minute mark. To keep us on edge, there's a cheeky pre-credits sequence that establishes Tucker's murderous credentials. That opening scene introduces us to Heather (Ella Newton), a naïve tourist talked into going on Tucker's 'Swimming With Sharks' tour by the hunky guy accompanying her. When Tucker asks if they're a couple, Heather's hesitant reaction reveals that the guy is what the folks Down Under refer to as 'her bonk.' Advertisement There's something off about Tucker. He seems amiable, but he asks questions that imply that Heather and her hook-up might be in danger. During the pre-boat conversation, he establishes that no one will miss these two people if they suddenly disappear. There's just enough menace mixed in to make observant people uneasy. He even makes the children's song 'Baby Shark' more terrifying than it already is. Unfortunately for Heather, she can't hear the audience screaming 'Don't get on that boat, you fool!' After the duo visit the sharks in the typical shark-diving cave, Tucker stabs the guy to death and takes Heather hostage out on the open seas. Hassie Harrison as Zephyr and Josh Heuston as Moses in 'Dangerous Animals.' AMC Next, we meet our hero/Final Girl, Zephyr (Hassie Harrison). She's a blonde surfer girl loner who fled to Australia for the tasty waves and the solitude. Her introduction is timed with a hilarious needle drop I won't reveal. And her Meet Cute with real estate agent Moses (Josh Heuston) hinges on blackmail: Either she'll allow Moses to use her jumper cables to restart his car, or he'll tell the 7-Eleven clerk she shoplifted. 'Trust me, I'm not a serial killer,' he tells her. Since the movie only has room for one madman, Zephyr believes him. Then she jumps his bones in her massive van. After ghosting him the next morning as he's making her breakfast, Zephyr runs afoul of Tucker. He knocks her out, and she wakes up handcuffed on his boat next to Heather. Since she rocked his world so splendidly the night before, Moses becomes obsessed with finding out where Zephyr disappeared to in the morning. Like Heather, he's about to do something dumb simply because the sex was good. Advertisement Once Zephyr is captured, 'Dangerous Animals' becomes a cat and mouse game between her and Tucker. Since they're both loners, he sees a connection. 'You're a fighter,' he tells her, which makes his sadistic game more fun. Hassie Harrison as Zephyr and Jai Courtney as Tucker in 'Dangerous Animals.' AMC The film was shot on a real boat, so the location's interiors are claustrophobic but visually dull. But cinematographer Shelley Farthing-Dawe does wonders when we're not stuck inside. There are gorgeous images of the beach and the ocean. Tucker's boat is framed like an ugly orange aberration interrupting the blue majesty of sea and sky. The actors are often shot in close-up, which adds to the trapped feeling. At one point, Farthing-Dawe's lighting gives Tucker's hair a spiky halo as he's monologuing to one of his victims. The cinematography can't help the CGI sharks, though. They look faker than 'Jaws''s infamous star, Bruce the Shark. Kasra Rassoulzadegan's playful yet ominous editing is effective, even if the jump scares become redundant. And Michael Yezerski's rumbling score, while occasionally reminiscent of 'Dangerous Animals' falters by never gives Tucker a reason for his extreme, shark-based misogyny, nor does it make Zephyr an especially compelling Final Girl. Though Courtney and Harrison give their all, this is a slick-looking yet routine exercise that wastes an ideal premise. ★★1/2 DANGEROUS ANIMALS Directed by Sean Byrne. Written by Nick Lepard. Starring Jai Courtney, Hassie Harrison, Josh Heuston, Ella Newton. At AMC Boston Common, Alamo Drafthouse Seaport. 98 min. R (brutal shark violence, steamy human sex) Odie Henderson is the Boston Globe's film critic.

Kevin Smith Reflects on Dogma, Belief, and a Career of Questions
Kevin Smith Reflects on Dogma, Belief, and a Career of Questions originally appeared on L.A. Mag. The subversive 'askewniverse' of Kevin Smith is filled with pop culture nerdom and general tomfoolery, but the filmmaker's heart is as big as his quips and gags. With 1999's Dogma, he went deep, inspired by his Catholic upbringing as a kid and spiritual explorations as a young adult. Starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as angels banished from heaven and Alanis Morissette as God, it was one of the filmmaker's most successful movies, grossing $43.9 million worldwide on a budget of $10 it was also controversial, targeted by religious groups who never saw it for a storyline they deemed blasphemous. A Miramax release, the film also was stuck in the muck of the post-Harvey Weinstein sexual assault convictions, unavailable to screen for years. But on June 5, more than 25 years after it debuted, the film is back in theaters nationwide, following Smith's 20-city 'Resurrection Tour' over the past few weeks at AMC theaters, which included an ironic Easter/4-20 event at The to Smith, Miramax's parent company Disney never really backed the movie nor did Weinstein, which led him to give it to Lionsgate for theatrical distribution and Sony Columbia TriStar for home video. 'The source material was allegedly owned by Harvey, but once those deals lapsed, it fell out of distribution and languished for years, ' he says. 'Then one day after I'd been gone from the Weinstein company for like, 12 years I got a phone call from Harvey out of the blue, and he was like, 'Kevin I realize I have Dogma, and this is a valuable property.' But Smith suspects, 'he had no intention of doing anything with Dogma.' The filmmaker says the call was really about trying to find out who the sources were for the upcoming New York Times article that exposed Weinstein's sexual assault crimes, which he knew was coming out soon. Smith tried to buy the film from the exec after that with no luck, but years later, his prayers have finally come true. Fans of the star-studded flick can see it again on the big screen and a whole new generation gets to discover what in many ways is his most ambitious title. And it's likely to earn him new fans for the entirety of his outrageous oeuvre. Despite Dogma's satiric storyline, the film was a soulful endeavor. 'I wanted to make something that expressed my faith … like, let me show what church could be like if I was in charge,' he reflects. 'Now, as a 54-year-old man, I don't feel the same way. I guess I lean heavily agnostic at this point. But I have nothing but love for people of faith. My mom is one. It'd be lovely if I still had the sort of faith I had in childhood. But the movie does, so every night I watch it play as I intended it when I was 28 years old, and I'm delighted to see people interacting with it the way that I hoped they would, even years later.' Smith's catalog, which includes his breakthrough Clerks and two sequels and two Jay and Silent Bob stoner buddy flicks (in which he acts —silently— alongside his longtime bestie Jason Mewes), as well as Mallrats and Chasing Amy, has proven influential not only to other filmmakers, but to a generation who grew up with cultural game-changers like Star Wars, convention culture, 80's sex comedies and only to Clerks, 1997's Amy —which also stars Affleck alongside Joey Lauren Adams in the title role— has the highest critical ranking on Rotten Tomatoes for good reason. It has its raunchy moments, but like Dogma, it's also layered and thought-provoking, even inspiring a documentary (Chasing Chasing Amy) about its significance to queer culture. Smith says the "thunder" from Chasing Amy made Dogma possible, as did another Affleck and Damon title, Academy Award-winner Good Will Hunting, which he co-produced. All three of these movies elevated the writer-director's narrative depth, which always went way beyond toilet humor and pop culture Smith films ponder existential questions as they make us laugh about the absurdity of humanity. The best ones, like Chasing Amy, do it seamlessly. An apt Pride month title, considering its theme of straights trying to understand homosexuality and bisexuality, we asked Smith for his take on the film nearly three decades since it came out .'It kind of saved my career,' he says of the film. 'But there are a lot of folks on the internet now who see the movie as overly simplistic… Today there's a wide spectrum [of sexuality], but back then it was progressive. People can see it from many different perspectives, but it captures a snapshot in time and I'll always love it. It's young Kevin Smith at his most earnest.'As for what's next for Smith, the avid comic book and video game aficionado saw one of his biggest dreams come true last month: he and Mewes have their own bundles as playable characters in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and their superhero alter-egos, Bluntman and Chronic are soon to follow. "It's just wicked," Smith enthuses. "Jason Mewes plays Call of Duty all the time, so the dude has just been playing with himself in a brand new way for the last two weeks."In addition to films and video games, Smith was an early advocate for podcasting and he encourages fans to join him on three pods he's currently doing in rotation: Hollywood Babylon with pal Ralph Garman, Fat Man Beyond with journalist Mark Bernadin and the show closest to his heart, Beardless Dickless Me with his daughter Harley Quinn. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
