See movies on the cheap at any AMC Theatres location in the USA for just $5 plus tax on Tuesdays, including during the current awards season.
The AMC Discount Tuesdays $5 deal also applies to some theater concessions, such as the “Cameo-size” popcorn and soft drink combo.
To get the deal you must be a member of the AMC Stubs discount program, which is FREE to join.
That’s the good news – here’s the bad –
Starting July 2025, AMC is increasing the number of ads and trailers before the movie to as long as 30 minutes. According to CNN Business, the extra revenue from the additional ads will help keep ticket prices “stable” – and hopefully allow discount deals like $5 Tuesdays to continue.
