Became a fan of this recently, having seen both Life of Chuck and Jurassic World Rebirth with this program at my nearby AMC.

You don't know what the movie is until it starts, but showings usually start on Monday night at 7pm across the country - so the east coast goes in genuinely blind and gives everyone else a heads up what it is. Otherwise all you know is the approximate run time and the movie rating. If it is a horror movie, it will be a scream unseen rather than a screen unseen. The weekly reddit threads for each program discuss what it might be, based on history and criteria (rating, runtime)

Here's this week's thread:

You can buy tickets here:

Why would you do this and why would I bother to post about it, etc?

The tickets are ~$6.

So yeah, once we knew it was Jurassic World (if you watch the weekly Reddit thread, sometimes they do get tipped early one way or another) we loaded up on tickets for the family and recruited a couple other friends to come.

I've never used them, but Googling around, here's Regal's program:

and Cinemark:

Other chains participate too, like Marcus - https://www.marcustheatres.com/marcus-specials/marcus-film-series/marcus-mystery-movie

Anyways, I thought this was neat, and is cheap so wanted to share. Prices may vary based on market or something I imagine, but far less than the regular arm or leg to get a ticket to see a movie these days, which I'll still pay for my Marvel and a couple other movies, but less likely to go see some of these smaller ones like Life of Chuck in the theater, which I really enjoyed.
