AMC Stubs A-List Is Getting More Expensive - Here's How Much

When it first launched in 2018, AMC's Stubs A-List customers were charged under $20 per month to see up to three movies per week.

It emerged in the market as a direct response to the model created by MoviePass, which offered subscribers one movie per day at just $9.95 per month. The company quickly filed for bankruptcy before reemerging in the market with dramatically different pricing.

While AMC Stubs A-List lived on, it hasn't been immune to problems of its own.

AMC Stubs A-List Raises Prices

Citing the rising costs of operaitng its venues, AMC Theaters announced that starting on July 15, the cinema chain's movie subscription membership will cost $29.99 per month – a $2 increase from its last price hike nearly a year ago.

“Even with this necessary price adjustment, A-List continues to offer you exceptional value, often costing only the price of seeing about one to two movies per month, especially when you enjoy premium formats or reserve tickets online,” AMC’s CEO Adam Aron wrote in an email to subscribers, per Variety.  ”It really is now — and will continue to be — a terrific bargain.”

While the price is changing, the perks will stay the same as patrons can see up to four movies every week in every format, including Imax and Dolby. They also get free upgrades on popcorn and fountain drinks, as well as a $5 reward for every $50 spent.

Price Change Comes Ahead of Massive Cinematic Year

The price change comes as Hollywood is in the midst of a major bounce-back year with 113 films releasing, the most of the post-pandemic era.

Fan favorite directors like Christopher Nolan (The Odyssey), Steven Spielberg (Disclosure Day) and Denis Villenueve (Dune: Part Three) will take center stage as well as Marvel's latest potential hit in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
