In today’s film news roundup, AMC starts Artisan Films, Gravitas buys “Boy Genius,” Nesta Cooper gets cast opposite Salma Hayek and Rebel Road launches P12 as a distributor.
Marketing Move
AMC Theatres is launching a new program, AMC Artisan Films, as a programming-marketing effort to put a spotlight on character and narrative driven movies as an alternative to blockbusters.
“Because AMC is the industry’s top choice for blockbuster movies, many consumers don’t realize that we play more elevated and celebrated films than anyone else in North America,” said Elizabeth Frank, executive vice president of worldwide programming. “With the launch of AMC Artisan Films, we aim to expose more movie-goers to specialized films and increase their theatrical success.”
Frank said AMC is seeking earlier runs in platform releases while holding films longer in the theater to give audiences time to learn about them from other customers.

Free Pokemon Detective Pikachu screenings immediately sold out at 50 AMC locations tonight after passes were made available to AMC Stubs members on Monday. The film from Legendary/Warner Bros. is expected to open to $50M at the domestic B.O. and is seen as a potential Avengers: Endgame threat in many Asia territories in the days to come. Pic opens on May 10.
“AMC Stubs screenings are a popular perk for our AMC Stubs members, who love the opportunity to see new movies early,” said Elizabeth Frank, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Programming and Chief Content Officer, AMC, “These early screenings of Pokemon Detective Pikachu filled up before our full marketing launched.

“Avengers: Endgame” has its sights set on world domination.
Disney and Marvel’s upcoming superhero epic should light the box office on fire when it launches this weekend, with the hopes of setting domestic, international, and global records. In North America alone, “Avengers: Endgame” is expected to earn between $250 million and $268 million in its first three days of release. If it hits the higher part of that range it would qualify as the biggest domestic debut of all time, a distinction currently held by 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War,” the precursor to “Endgame,” which launched with $257.7 million.
Advance ticket sales have been sky high for “Endgame,” so box office watchers are confident the grand conclusion to the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be one for the record books. At the very least, the opening weekend of “Endgame” will position itself as one of the best launches ever. Disney...

AMC announced today that it had sold more advance tickets for “Avengers: Endgame” than any other movie in history, and the theater chain has a plan to meet all that demand: keeping some locations open 24 hours a day. 17 locations won’t close once from Thursday night until Sunday, 29 will be open around the clock on Thursday and Friday, and 18 more will keep their doors open through either Thursday through Saturday or Friday Through Sunday.
Such a move is incredibly rare, though it has happened at least once before: in 1965, when the James Bond film “Thunderball” arrived in theaters. That film, adjusted for inflation, was a bigger hit than “The Dark Knight” 43 years later.

The 182-minute runtime of “Avengers: Endgame” is showing no signs of hindering the overwhelming audience demand for tickets, so much so that AMC and other major theater chains are keeping some of their locations open all night long this weekend.
On Monday, AMC announced that 64 of their cinemas in major markets have sold out so many of their screenings for “Endgame” that they will be keeping those locations open overnight for screenings. Of those locations, 17 will be kept open for more than 72 consecutive hours, from the time preview screenings begin for “Endgame” on Thursday evening all the way through Sunday night.
“AMC guests have already purchased more tickets to ‘Avengers: Endgame’ than we’ve ever sold in advance of a film’s release – and our first shows aren’t until Thursday evening,” said Elizabeth Frank, Evp Worldwide Programming for AMC.

When Avengers: Endgame tickets first went on sale near the start of this month, ticketing sites saw an overwhelming influx of visitors scrambling to book those first screenings, causing some sites to crash from the traffic. Now we’re just a few days away from seeing those same fans come pouring into theaters, but it seems that AMC is doing all they can to accommodate the impending rush.
According to Deadline, the theater chain has 29 of its cinemas scheduled to be open around-the-clock this Thursday through Friday. On top of that, 18 theaters are open nonstop Thursday through Saturday, while an additional 17 locations will keep going into Sunday, staying open for 72 hours straight.
AMC’s Executive Vice President and Chief Programming Officer Elizabeth Frank explained these drastic measures as follows.

With Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame busting every imaginable presales record in AMC’s history, the world’s No. 1 exhibitor is making sure the Russo Brothers pic is available on as many screens as possible with millions of tickets still available stateside.
As Deadline reported earlier, AMC — together with the No. 2 and 3 chains Regal and Cinemark — are estimated to be driving 90% of the $120M-plus advance ticket sales for Endgame, according to industry sources. That figure far exceeds the $100M presales made by Star Wars: The Force Awakens before it opened in December 2015.
This afternoon AMC reported that 29 of its theaters are scheduled to be open around-the-clock this Thursday through Friday for Endgame, with 18 open nostop from Thursday through Saturday.

AMC Entertainment President, Director and CEO Adam Aron had a nice 2018, hauling in $9.5 million. Aron’s all-in executive compensation was up just over 27 percent from 2017.
While Aron’s salary remained flat at $1.1 million, it was a big increase in his non-equity incentive plan compensation that accounted for the jump. His 2017 take in that executive compensation category was *just* $726,000. Last year, the movie-theater chain’s boss recognized $2.882 million under the same heading.
Though $9.5 million is a nice increase from the prior year’s $7.4 million, it actually does not represent Aron’s best year in recent memory. Back in 2016, Aron posted executive compensation of $10.9 million thanks mostly to a $4.5 million bonus.
Also Read: Discovery's David Zaslav Made Nearly $130 Million Last Year
In 2018, like 2017, Aron received no direct bonus. His stock awards dropped down a bit from $5.6 million to $5.5 million. No other changes were material to his final tally.

#GoldOpen, the Asian community movement that bought out theaters for showings of “Crazy Rich Asians,” has announced a new partnership with AMC Theaters.
The collaboration aims to streamline group movie-going, theater buyouts, bulk regular-price ticket purchasing, and more through a ticket buying system that includes a dedicated ticketing web page, purchasing support, and special events throughout the year. The We Company’s Meetup.com and Facebook Groups will also allow organizers to more easily distribute tickets, coordinate viewings, and meet other supporters.
In August, to support “Crazy Rich Asians,” the first major studio film with a majority Asian cast, #GoldOpen creators spread the word on social media that they were buying out theaters to draw a record box office. The film has since garnered over $238 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing romantic comedy in the last decade.

AMC Theatres has announced advanced “girls night out” screenings of Warner Bros.’ heist-comedy “Ocean’s 8” in 36 of its Dolby Cinema at AMC locations on Wednesday night.
The screenings will take place one day before preview screenings for the spin-off from Steven Soderbergh’s “Ocean’s” trilogy. “Ocean’s 8” stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, and Awkwafina. Bullock plays the estranged sister of Danny Ocean who attempts to pull off a heist at New York City’s annual Met Gala. Early tracking showed the female-led heist film eyeing a domestic debut weekend of $30 million.

While Thursday night is typically preview night for any major wide release, Warner Bros./Village Roadshow’s Ocean’s 8 is going a night early on Wednesday in AMC Theatres for a special “Girls’ Night Out.” AMC Patrons can purchase tickets to watch the movie two days in advance before its opening this Friday.
Though it’s “Girl’s Night Out,” everyone is welcome to attend and buy tickets. Last year, Alamo Drafthouse got in a bit of a local discriminatory pickle in Austin when they tried to, with all good intentions, hold female-only screenings for Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman. Ocean’s 8, a gender reversal reboot of the famous Rat Pack 1960s and early millennial George Clooney-Brad Pitt Ocean’s Eleven heist pics, is eyeing an opening in the $30Ms range this weekend with a shot of possibly topping $40M.

It’s taken just 72 hours for Avengers: Infinity War to earn its status as a juggernaut among advance ticket sales.
Ever since they went on sale this past weekend – March 16th, to be specific – Infinity War has completely obliterated AMC records. To put things into perspective, advanced sales for Joe and Anthony Russo’s Herculean event movie were 257.6 percent ahead of Black Panther during the same timeframe, and 715 percent ahead of Captain America: Civil War. Its initial sales were also 1106.5 percent more than Age of Ultron, the last Avengers movie to bring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes together on the big screen.

In the latest bid by the exhibition sector to stay relevant in the digital age, AMC has partnered with Paramount Pictures on a premium-priced Interstellar ticket that allows multiple use.
For a price ranging from $19.99 to $34.99, depending on which of 330 country-wide locations members of the chain’s AMC Stubbs loyalty programme visit, the ticket will earn its owner unlimited repeat visits.
Loyalty scheme members who have already seen Christopher Nolan’s film can upgrade for $14.99.
In a press release, AMC said there would only be a limited number of commemorative passes on sale.
According to the release feedback from film-goers who have seen Interstellar indicates they have expressed a “strong interest in seeing it again in the theatre.”
Based on the stated price points, it would appear that the theatre chain and studio are betting most customers will not use the card more than twice.
Thus far the film has grossed an estimated $97.8m in North American...
