How it works

Three taps to a better seat

  1. Pick a showtime

    Search the AMC theaters Filmi covers, star your favorites, then choose a day and a showtime from the next two weeks or the full calendar.

  2. Tap sold-out seats

    The seat map shows what's taken. Tap the seats you wish you had, and they turn gold. Wheelchair spaces and companion seats can be watched like any other seat.

  3. Get pinged when they open

    Filmi checks your seats every 3 to 5 minutes and sends a push when one frees up. Book on AMC opens AMC's own seat map for that showtime, and you book there.

What's inside

Alerts first. Then everything after the credits.

Seat alerts

The alert waits for you

When seats open, the alert moves to the top of Home, marked Available, and stays there until you decide. Nothing fires twice for seats you've already been told about.

  • Book on AMC opens AMC's seat map for that showtime.
  • Keep watching if the seat that opened isn't the one.
  • Got my seats ends the alert.
  • Watch wheelchair spaces and companion seats too.
  • Save seat-map presets and favorite theaters for next time.

Questions

Before the trailers start

Which theaters does Filmi cover?

189 AMC theaters in the ten largest US metros: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, Houston and Miami. Filmi doesn't cover every AMC yet, or theaters outside the US.

Is it free?

Yes. There's no paid tier, no ads and nothing locked behind a paywall. Profile has a tip jar, and tipping doesn't unlock anything.

Is there an Android app?

Not yet. Filmi is for iPhone only. Its beta is coming soon. Android is coming later.

Is Filmi affiliated with AMC?

No. Filmi is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by AMC Theatres.

How often are seats checked?

Every 3 to 5 minutes, up until the showtime starts. Alerts clear themselves shortly after the movie begins.

Does Filmi buy the tickets for me?

No. Filmi tells you when a seat opens and hands you off: Book on AMC opens AMC's seat map for that showtime, and you book with AMC as usual.

Do I need an account?

No. You can watch seats and log tickets without one. Creating an account with a verified email raises the limits, from 5 active alerts to 25 and from 1 favorite theater and saved seat map to 10 of each, and lets you sign in on another device.

Coming soon to iPhone
