'''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.

Another set of text fades in on top saying "Celebrating A Century Of American Cinema". It cuts to a clip from ''Annie (1982)'' where Mr. Warbucks says: "Let's all go to the movies!" It then fades to footage of the Radio City Music Hall marquee from that same movie. It cuts to an AMC Theatres sign from daytime to nighttime, the outline of "AMC" glows {{color|gold|yellow}}. It then cuts to an updated footage of the 2nd logo without the popcorn popping, then there is a timelapse of people filling up the seats. Then we see shots of an audience, including a group of people, a couple with the husband feeding popcorn to the wife, another couple kissing, and the audience clapping.
