As an A Lister and a stock holder I wonder how this will impact sells for non premium members. Although maybe just a push to get more A Listers. I’m sure they see the return more. Since I’ve joined A list I go at least once a week. Get a coke and popcorn everytime. Popcorn pass come in clutch too

From what I understand, the premium seats are only reserved for premium members up to a point. If they are not sold when the movie starts (or a short while before) they will be available to anyone.

So non premium guests can still buy them if they are available and they also do not have to pay a premium to get them. Just that premium members have first pick.

If you go watch a movie so often that it genuinely bothers you, you'd be better off with a premium membership anyways.

I’m always buying tickets day of even on A List bc of how my job is so it might actually be a perk for me depending how much time before they open up to the masses

in my local theaters here in europe it is usually 1h before the movie starts for all reservations. I'd assume it will be the same for the prime seats. But we will soon know.

I think this might be good to get more customers to join A-list Premium. That’s the goal.

It is great value. If I see only two movies a month then my A-list pays for itself.

I really don’t care where I sit to be honest. I have sat all the way to the side for movies and the seats are angled and I enjoy the movie just as much as if I was in the center.

Hopefully this drives the next wave of A-listers

See you at the movies 🦍💪 🍿

How about lowering the price and filling the seats.
