AMC Select launched to screen indie films
AMC Theatres has created AMC Select (2006), a year-round program booking independent and studio specialty division films on at least one screen at each of the 72 theaters in 39 U.S. markets. The announcement, tied to AMC's partnership with the Tribeca Film Festival allowing for new uptown Manhattan screening venues, reflects the growing boxoffice impact of specialized films.
While this represents a significant number of theaters for a major chain—and Brown noted that most venues will be in suburbs that often have no art houses—fewer than 25% of its 310 domestic venues and a small fraction of its 4,100 screens will be participating.
To see the current list of films in this program, visit:
The distributors announced as partners include First Look, Focus Features, Fox Searchlight, Freestyle Releasing, IDP, IFC Films, Lionsgate, Magnolia Pictures, Miramax Films, Paramount Classics, Picturehouse, SPC, ThinkFilm, Warner Independent Pictures and the Weinstein Co. Brown said films from smaller indie distributors also will be considered.
Criteria for selection are:
If an independent company is producing a steady stream of good films, we might be open to multiple-picture deals."
