AMC and Evite team up on new movie theatre Birthday Parties. October 8, 2026 AMC birthday parties got a makeover on Oct. 1, 2026, when AMC Theatres launched a new booking program that can save families up to 25% on a private theatre rental. The program bundles online booking, birthday food and drink packages, and digital invitations from Evite into one place. It is available at about 300 AMC locations across the country, with more showtimes and party options built for birthdays and group events. Parents and party planners can browse and book at AMC Birthday Parties. AMC Birthday Parties offer up to 25% savings on Private Theatre Rentals. The headline feature is the price. Booking a birthday party through AMC's Private Theatre Rentals program can cost up to 25% less than it otherwise would. The discount is measured against full-price adult tickets for a comparable showtime with the auditorium at maximum capacity, so actual savings vary by location. Pricing also depends on the theatre, the time of day, and the day of the week. Weekend afternoon slots, for example, may be priced differently from a weekday evening at the same theatre. How to book a birthday party at AMC Theatres. Booking happens online through a redesigned process that lets guests check availability, pick a showtime, and finish the reservation in one session. Parties can be booked one to six weeks ahead of the event. The exact booking window depends on the release plans for the movie you want to see. AMC also added clearer confirmation details and planning reminders throughout the process, so hosts know what to expect before party day. Evite digital invitations are built into the booking. AMC partnered with Evite so hosts can create custom AMC-branded digital invitations and manage their guest list without leaving the booking experience. RSVPs and guest counts stay connected to the party details. Evite has been around since 1998 and has sent nearly three billion invitations. According to Evite, AMC is the most frequently named theatre destination on its platform by a wide margin. Party food and drink packages include popcorn, hot dogs and Dippin' Dots. The program added birthday-focused food and beverage packages sized for groups. Options include shareable party packs with popcorn, drinks, and hot dogs, along with kid-friendly treats like Dippin' Dots. Packages are chosen as part of the booking, so food is ready when guests arrive. Where AMC Birthday Parties are available. The program runs at roughly 300 AMC theatres nationwide. AMC operates about 850 theatres and 9,600 screens worldwide, making it the largest movie theatre company in the United States, Europe, and the world.
