'''Logo:''' On a black background, a {{color|blue}}/{{color|gold|yellow}} flash appears. 10 saturated black and white photographs of celebrities, popular in the New Hollywood era, zoom in on a {{color|blue}} circle outline while a white shine is revolving around the circle. After the last one (Charlie Chaplin) appears, the circle turns sideways revealing an outline of a projector. The shine starts to eliminate the outline and creates a {{color|red}} "A" in its signature design. A filmstrip comes from the bottom and goes next to the "A" forming the outline of the "M". The filmstrip gets removed and makes the "M" {{color|red}}. The same happens for the "C" except it comes from the top of the screen. Several white curved-edged rectangles zoom in around "AMC" and centers the logo. Stars appear on the bottom forming "THEATRES". A bright light appears on the "A" and "C". "{{color|blue|Our Feature Presentation}}" fades in one by one with the music. A bright light fades on the "A" and shines along with the "M" and "C". The logo fades to black. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a {{color|blue}}/{{color|gold|yellow}} flash appears. 10 saturated black and white photographs of celebrities, popular in the New Hollywood era, zoom in on a {{color|blue}} circle outline while a white shine is revolving around the circle.

'''Logo:''' We start off as we see Clip who is much more {{color|gold}} than usual (especially his facial expressions), flying around on the film reel. The building is all {{color|gold|golden}} film reels with filmstrips moving from many film cameras on the sides. There is also film reels moving on the ceiling. In the far distance, "AMC" is shown under spotlights while "THERE IS A DIFFERENCE" is shown underneath while filmstrips pass over it. Clip stops in front of the camera and starts flexing his film arms. He leans on the right side and falls off the film reel as it races to catch him. The camera cuts to a hole where filmstrips circle around and lights are shown. Clip is still falling and the film reel races to catch him. The camera cuts again to the same room in the beginning but zoomed in. The film reel positions itself as Clip falls onto it. He gets up with a sigh of relief. While that is happening, "AMC" in {{color|gold}} lines is drawn in from the bottom behind him. A {{color|red}} outline drops in behind the text and the logo is drawn a thicker {{color|red}} outline. Clip then flies from right to left while "Feature Presentation" pops in one by one. The (C) symbol appears again beside the C. Like the last logo, Clip flies past the logo and through the screen. The logo fades out. | '''Logo:''' We start off as we see Clip who is much more {{color|gold}} than usual (especially his facial expressions), flying around on the film reel.

'''Previews Variant:''' We start off by fading into a {{color|purple}} gradient background. A cup of Coca-Cola is shown as the camera pans up, we see that the cup has a straw and the cup is full of the drink. The drink is getting sucked in the straw as the camera pans up to see Clip sitting on the film reel drinking from the straw. He gets surprised and gives a sighed expression. The camera starts to pan up as Clip stands up and flies away, leaving a star trail behind. While that happens, the logo is drawn in like the last logo but it is sped up. {{color|Silver}} lines fill up the logo. Clip flies by the logo from right to left leaving "Previews" behind him. The logo fades out. | '''Previews Variant:''' We start off by fading into a {{color|purple}} gradient background.

# (Action/Sci-Fi) On a white background, the AMC logo in a red circle zooms in. After a few seconds, it zooms and takes up the whole screen, with it flapping in the process. We then see many red circles with military hats and glasses hanging on to falling parachutes over a dark landscape with hills at night. A small UFO flies past the camera firing lasers which destroy the parachutes. We see more UFOs destroying parachutes in an overhead shot. We cut back to the previous shot where one of the balls stretches in an alarmed manner and is taken by one of the UFOs, with the parachute clinging on to its front. The UFO comes loose and crashes down to the ground, turning upside-down. The scene cuts to an overhead shot where the background disappears, and the red text "amazing" is seen on the side. The UFO turns over, with its bottom side revealed to be the AMC logo. The "amazing" text wipes out, and the logo centers itself in the middle. The AMC logo turns down and the UFO flies off. We see another view of circles with horns, a tail, and a ring within its nose holes (resembling cows) at night. One of the cows is abducted into the UFO, where it sticks it to its bottom, then sucks it in. The UFO flies off and the screen quickly slides to the right, revealing the text "Keep track of your stuff". A squadron of helicopters fly over a distant hill, with the camera turning upward as they get closer. They are all revealed to be flying towards a giant circular robot with mechanical arms and legs, a quarter of the top cut off emitting a light, and an antennae on top (it looks similar to Romeo's giant robot from ''PJ Masks'') which grabs one of the helicopters. A couple ninjas hanging from ropes stuck to the landing feet of the helicopters swings off of them while other correspond with the action. It cuts to a ground view where a ninja lands and speeds off. The text "Report suspicious characters" is seen above. The helicopters fly over as | # (Action/Sci-Fi) On a white background, the AMC logo in a red circle zooms in.

A couple ninjas hanging from ropes stuck to the landing feet of the helicopters swings off of them while other correspond with the action. It cuts to a ground view where a ninja lands and speeds off. The text "Report suspicious characters" is seen above. The helicopters fly over as Vikings with wings, horns, axes and shields run in from the left. More ninjas drop down and zoom away. They are all revealed to be running towards the giant robot, which throws the helicopter it caught earlier at them, knocking the surrounding characters out and kicking up a volatile dust cloud. The robot then raises its foot and stomps down on the ground, which the Vikings narrowly avoid and use their weapons against. The foot raises to reveal the text "Watch your step" and the Vikings run after it. Another set of text, "walk", is standing on the ground. The robot steps over it (squishing some characters in the process), and the characters run through holes in the text. The helicopters fly over the text and intercourse within direction. All of this is revealed to be happening on a theater screen, with the text "Front, Behind, Left, Right" displayed on the screen. Two doors open on both sides of the theater, with red lights activating on top of them. The characters in their seats (with bags of popcorn nested in some) motion themselves towards the exit and walk out of the theater (an AMC theater in this case) with the text "Exit the building" and "move far away" on it, where the robot is now looming over it with helicopters flying in the background. The robot raises its fist and reaches into the theater, where in another shot, it grabs the popcorn machine, which it dumps into a rectangular hole (presumably its mouth) along with the machine itself. A helicopter flies past the camera, transitioning the screen into the AMC logo on a black background. A spark circles around the logo and breaks it off, emitting a light that contains a trooper with triple night-vision goggles and a rope hanging out. The dot leaps at the screen, revealing the hole to be the Moon. The screen zooms out to show two dots (one with a pompadour and large lips on the left and one with curly hair and larger lips on the right) in a rowboat sailing down a river. They kiss, and many dots with hearts on them swirl around at the viewer, transitioning to a shot of a dot wearing a Jason Voorhees-style mask waving a chainsaw around which cuts the surrounding dots in half. The dot gets a pie to the face, blacking out the hole. The dot then turns into a laughing mouth. The camera zooms into his mouth, and the text "coming soon" follows suit. After this, the text makes a transition to an MPAA band trailer or ending entirely. | ||
# (Comedy) The AMC logo zooms in on a white background. Instead of zooming towards us and flapping like a blanket, it gains a shine and a silver rim and is revealed to be the emblem of a small car driving down a highway at night. Two dots (one with a mohawk and glasses on the left seat and another with a striped cap and strings of hair peeking on the right) are in the car and they are both not keeping their eyes on the road. In another shot, we see a bear-like dot standing on the road, shocked, which the car narrowly misses, causing the mohawk dot to drop its phone. They look back and scream in terror as the bear is revealed to be chasing after them. We cut to a shot of the car and the bear speeding away, and the camera pans up to reveal the "AMC amazing" logo. The "amazing" text wipes out, like the 1st variant. The AMC logo turns into a dangling chain on the car's mirror, where the drivers are now going across the edge of a cliff. They briefly push each other around before zooming past a line of motorcyclers. They get on their motorcycles, line up vertically and speed off, where the drivers are now going through a tunnel with the motorcyclers being reflected in the mirror (if you notice, the AMC chain on the mirror is gone). We see a shot where the motorcyclers pass the screen one-by-one. The camera zooms through the shocked drivers' car, while the motorcyclers follow suit. As they speed down a road, a row of cheering dots with different hairstyles and accessories is seen on the side of the road with a bus stop sign next to them. The text "Report suspicious characters" is seen above. The car zooms down the road before they abruptly notice a bunch of the cow dots standing in the way. The car narrowly misses them in a curvy line, while the motorcyclers bash them out of the way at high speed. As the cows and motorcyclers fly through the air, the text "Keep track of your stuff" is seen as the closest cow moves out of the way for it. The motorcyclers fall back down (with two of the cows landing on two of the motorcycles) and speed off while the text "Watch your step" is seen zooming away from the camera's speed. The motorcyclers (and cows) come across a four-way split of the road, with signs saying "Front", "Left", "Behind", and "Right" on each one. They go separate ways and we cut to another shot of them riding towards us. Suddenly, a cow falls and startles one of the cyclers, with it landing on the platform attached to it. They both look at each other with confused expressions. The motorcyclers and cows speed off onto a hill as the text "Exit the building" settles above. The camera pans upward and the large Moon turns into the AMC logo. Then, the animation from the end of the 1st variant plays. | # (Comedy) The AMC logo zooms in on a white background.

# (Horror) The AMC logo zooms in on a white background once again. The logo then morphs into a dot with a Danny DeVito-like hairstyle and glasses walking on a dock on top of reeds and mist with many spooky trees and mosquitoes in the background. One of the mosquitoes lands on the top of its head and starts sucking its blood, causing him to lighten and squish. The (now enormous) mosquito flies away (revealing a large, cloud-covered Moon in the sky) and drops down where the background disappears and the "AMC amazing" logo is seen. Like the other two trailers, the "amazing" text wipes out, but the AMC logo now morphs into a girl with circular earrings, lips and a ponytail. She trots towards the screen in a haunted house as a flash of lightning occurs outside. She gets startled and looks behind her to see a red dot swiftly pass by the top of a staircase. She looks around and the furniture (including the stool) is now rocking back and forth. They then, like a magnet, stick to the ceiling as the text "Keep track of your stuff" in a more liquified version of the text is revealed. The dot then steps back, screams loudly and runs down the hallway behind her, as lightning is now constantly flickering every second. The camera zooms to a fork in the hallway as two dots with the same hairstyles (a reference to ''The Shining'') are seen. The dot screams again and comes to a red, static TV (a reference to ''The Ring'') with a paranoid expression. A flash of lightning illuminates a figure in the distant hall beside her. The text "Report suspicious characters" forms on the TV. The girl gets startled, and the scene cuts to a cellar door opening, releasing a red glow and thick mist. The girl screams again as she is sucked into a cellar door beside her. She falls and thumps her head on a platform outside, tumbles down a hill and into a dug hole in a graveyard. The camera pans up and reveals the text "Watch your step" engraved on a tombstone. The girl manages to slip out of the hole as zombie dots start to rise around her. They emerge from gravestones with "Front", "Left", "Behind", and "Right" embedded on them. She stops at the last grave, turns around and screams at the zombie dot (with its eye whipped out from the socket). The girl then runs away screaming in absolute terror as the text "move far away" (with the "o" being a zombie) above. The camera pans up through the trees and reveals the AMC logo. Then, the animations from the end of the 1st and 2nd variants play as normal. | # (Horror) The AMC logo zooms in on a white background once again.

'''Variant 1''': First, we hear a faint whoosh in which its reverb gets louder with a flapping sound. This segues into a dramatic fanfare with bleeping noises and explosions. As the dot is taken away, we hear the sound of the UFO powering down, and then a loud crash. When the UFO flies away, a low synth drone is heard, followed by the sound of the UFO powering on and flying off. During the policy rules segment, this in order is heard: We hear the sound of cows mooing, followed by a repeating whirring noise which gets faster and higher in pitch, followed by the sounds of "thunking" and stretching, with the cow giving high mooing noises. This ends with a faint splat, and more whirring noises. As the helicopters fly over, a dramatic fanfare builds up and reaches its peak as rotors can be heard.

The sound of a helicopter powering down and crashing. A loud "stomp" and the sounds of weapons clanking/bullet ricochets when the Vikings attack the robot's foot. Then, a mish-mash of sound effects, including yelling, bullet ricochets, and rotors from the helicopter. When the robot gets to the theater, ricochet-like noises can be heard, along with a loud crashing sound. The music stops here. We hear the sound of a chute opening, faint sounds of the popcorn falling, and one final sound of the helicopter rotors as one last dramatic note plays. During the "coming soon" segment, we hear a loud sparking sound and a sonic whoosh. A buzzing noise as the dot leaps at the camera. A stock sound of an owl along with faint sounds of the water, as well as a harp arpeggio with the sound of kissing. The sound of balls filling, which is jarringly interrupted with a dramatic note with the sound of a woman screaming and chainsaw buzzing. The chaos is interrupted with a pie splat. After this, the sound of the plate falling and a woman laughing. Final whooshes close out the trailer. | ||
