As it lands, the label unrolls itself right below the AMC logo, revealing the word "PREVIEWS". | '''Previews Variant:''' We pan over the same film case described above.

'''Variant:''' A Previews variant exists. We start off by fading into a 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 filmreel 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. Silver lines fill up the logo. Clip flies by the logo from right to left leaving "Previews" behind him. The logo fades out. | '''Variant:''' A Previews variant exists.

'''Previews Variant''': We start off on a purple gradient background as we see Clip holding a bubble, levitating on a set of purple, blue, and yellow rings. He turns around facing the camera. He is now making the bubble levitate along with the rings. He walks away as the rings rise up out of the screen and the bubble levitating. The AMC logo is drawn in along with its decorations. The bubble zooms in and "Coming soon" fades in on top of the text. The logo then fades out. | '''Previews Variant''': We start off on a purple gradient background as we see Clip holding a bubble, levitating on a set of purple, blue, and yellow rings.

When he taps the soft drink, a bombastic orchestra ensues. | '''Music/Sounds:''' We hear horns, a triangle sound plays when Clip exits the popcorn bag. Then the music plays along with Clip's actions.
