AMC Theaters to introduce Sightline pricing based on seat location

AMC Theaters will begin to adjust ticket pricing based on where a seat is in the theater with its new Sightline AMC offering.

Sightline AMC will have three tiers: Standard Sightline, Value Sightline, and Preferred Sightline. Standard will offer customers the most common seats in the auditorium at the same price as a standard ticket. Value Sightline will include seats in the front row and select Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) seats within the auditorium. Value seats will be cheaper than Standard, but will only be available to AMC Stubs members, including the free tier membership. Preferred will include seats in the middle of the auditorium at a premium rate. AMC Stubs A-List members can reserve Preferred seats at no additional charge.

“Sightline at AMC more closely aligns AMC’s seat pricing approach to that of many other entertainment venues, offering experienced-based pricing and another way for moviegoers to find value at the movies,” said Eliot Hamlisch, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at AMC Theatres. “While every seat at AMC delivers an amazing moviegoing experience, we know there are some moviegoers who prioritize their specific seat and others who prioritize value moviegoing. Sightline at AMC accommodates both sentiments to help ensure that our guests have more control over their experience, so that every trip to an AMC is a great one.”

Sightline AMC will start with all showtimes after 4 p.m. Also, the program will not be enforced on Discount Tuesdays, which offers $5 tickets to AMC Stubs members.

Judge dismisses lawsuit over Superman distribution rights
David Corenswet stands in his Superman costume and stares.

A judge has thrown out a lawsuit challenging Warner Bros.' right to distribute James Gunn's Superman in 10 countries, including the U.K. and Ireland. The lawsuit was first filed in January by Mark Peary, the nephew of late Superman co-creator Joe Schuster, and argued that Schuster's estate had the right to cancel the Superman copyright in certain territories.

In a ruling first released on April 24, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman held that the court has no authority to address the estate’s rights under foreign laws. “The Court concludes that it lacks subject-matter jurisdiction over this case; the case therefore must be and is dismissed,” he wrote.

5 reasons you should watch You on Netflix
Joe standing in the street holding his phone and looking to the camera in You.

The Netflix series You just wrapped up its fifth and final season this month. The psychological thriller follows Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), a charming, well-read young man who fixates on a woman to the point of obsession. Once he finds his subject, Joe convinces himself that they are meant to be, so there are no lengths he won’t go to to “protect” her and their relationship. This often leads to murder, and plenty of it. Then, the cycle begins again.

Through each episode, you hear Joe’s inner monologue in a Dexter-like fashion as he rationalizes his decisions and internalizes his hatred for basic human nature. Fans have hoped for his comeuppance, which is explored in the finale. If you haven’t yet queued up the show, or you’re considering re-watching his journey, here are five reasons you should watch You on Netflix.
