About AMC Theatres
AMC Theatres opened the first multiplex in 1963 and the first megaplex in 1995, both formats the industry then adopted worldwide. Its A-List subscription lets members see several films a week for a monthly fee. Its cinemas outside North America trade under other names the company acquired, so a filmgoer in Europe is often in an AMC building without the name appearing anywhere.
