This AMC theater charges 3.00 extra for a theater like theater number 3, that says it charges that amount extra for surround sound.....Well, being a sound mixer for films, I understand how surround sound is great, the trailers in surround sound are great..BUT When they charge you for a movie that is not surround sound and add up 300 seats, times 3.00 equals 900.00 additional, times 10 showings a day, they are making nearly 10,000 dollars extra..WHAT A FRAUD and RIP OFF..it's like charging you for a 3d movie and the movie is not in 3d.
I went to the manager, who siad'Sorry" I should have told them when I realized the movie was not in surround sound, so I would have to walk out of the theatre and said something during the show...HOW absurd!
So AMC, who is now a public company should be charged with fraud and misleading and taking money for something they are not offering!
If you saw a show like American Hustle, you got ripped off if you got charged for theatre #3 and other theatres that say it is surround sound... THIS MOVIE was in STEREO...never a rear speaker or side speaker was even activated... THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND MAKING OVER 10,000 A DAY IN just THAT THEATRE #3...shame on tehm...if YOU WERE A VICTIM, GO TO THE MANAGER AND REQUEST A FREE PASS TO A FUTURE MOVIE....MAYBE THAT WILL TEACH THEM A LESSON... I INTEND TO CONTACT THE NEW ceo AND LET THEM KNOW THAT FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATION IS NOT A GOOD BUSINESS OR FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE!
