'''Logo:''' We pan up from the ground to see a radio transmitter, a mountain and rays in the background. Suddenly, red and cyan lines streak past the environment and we zoom forward to reveal a city below the mountain, in which the lines are heading to. We cut up from a bird's eye view of the city and the lines streaking down, and then to another view of the city with the lines heading to the right and past the city. The red line forms a circle and the AMC wordmark fades in. Then a cyan light shines on the red circle, and the red lines streak out of the circle and wraps to head to the right. The lines then streak up to the sky and we cut to some words such as "KEEP AN EYE", "ON YOUR", and "VALUABLES", as the red lines (now joined by some yellow-orange lines) streak past the words. We then cut to another shot of the city with viruses in the sky and "REPORT SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR" in three lines. The red lines then head past the viruses, and then we dip down and then back up to see the red lines go past the word "FRONT". "LEFT" fades in just as the red lines branches, U-turns and head forward. We then see them head past the words "WALK", "TO", and "SAFETY". We then cut to the lines heading past the city and go straight for the sky, as it streaks up with cyan around it, and we transition to space, where we pan over to a view of the Earth, as the lines can be seen heading behind the Earth. Some more then head forward, going past the United States and turning it red. Light grows from it which covers the screen. We then see live-action shots of people as they walk to the cashier. She presents a phone with a QR code inside, which transitions to a digital clock as red lines streak out of it. We then see a woman clicking the Cherry Coca-Cola flavor on the Freestyle machine, as red lines head past the soda being made in a glass with the Coca-Cola logo engraved on it. She then recieves the soda while two other people hold popcorn and other drinks. We then see an alcoholic beverage (it seems) being made by a bartender while red and cyan lines streak past it. We then cut to a scene of the trio inside the theater. The lines go inside a button inside a seat. The movie controls then turn on and the AMC logo zooms from the right to the center, as the lines streak past and disappear. The ending appears on a space-like background with several lighter blue streaks. The lines streak past some letters into the MPAA rating screen with the letters forming "ACCOMPANY THIS FEATURE".
'''Logo:'''  
*'''Previews (2017-19):''' The camera moves to the top of a mountain with a transmitter site on it at night, with a city and another hill in the distance. Several red, cyan, white and gold lines move over the mountain and across the city, then come together to form a ring with the AMC wordmark in the center. The lines moves past several messages above the city: "KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR VAULABLES", "REPORT SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR" (the streak dodges some purple spikes), "BEHIND", "LEFT", "RIGHT", FRONT", and "WALK TO SAFETY". The lines then shoot out of the city, and above the Earth, where a large array of streaks make Europe and the United States glow. A bright flash as the screen zooms towards the U.S. transitions to a man and women entering an AMC theater. As the man and an employee confirm their ticket using an app on their smartphones, the lines go through the employee's phone. Another woman orders a cherry Coca-Cola through a Coca-Cola machine, and the lines circle around a Coca-Cola glass as it is poured. The woman heads to a bar along with another woman and man, and the lines move around a drink a man pours for another woman, which she then holds. The woman and man who entered the theater earlier are now in an auditorium. The woman presses a button on her recliner, which the lines enter, and they both enjoy the show. A digital projector lights up, then emits a ray of light from its' lens. The lines move to the right of a red circle with an AMC wordmark on it, then zoom past the screen to the right. The lines streak past "COMING" and "SOON" as both words fall apart and the background turns green, and some letters form an MPAA "Accompany This Feature" message. www.filmratings.com and www.mpaa.org appear below.
*'''Feature Presentation (2017-19):''' The lines move around an several seats in an auditorium; they turn glitchy with expressions appearing, then become noisy before revealing "DON'T RUIN THE MOVIE" and "THANK YOU" as the screen hides behind a railing. At a concession bar, the AMC Stubs logo zooms to the center of the screen, and the service's perks are displayed below, one at a time, at an increasingly fast pace. An array of lines curve around the logo, then a Coca-Cola machine screen is shown. The lines circle around the "pour below" button, then as the button glows they zoom into the screen. Inside the lines are videos of a man and woman embracing each other, a man eating popcorn getting startled and spilling it, a black man drinking Coca-Cola and glancing at a woman, and lastly someone placing a Coca-Cola glass in a cupholder. Above the glass, the lines curve around to the left, revealing "ENJOY THE SHOW". Some glowing rings reveal the AMC circle logo, with the lines moving away in the distance.


'''Variant:''' For AMC's 100th anniversary in 2020, the trailer was heavily modified. After the circle around "AMC" is made, a bright flash engulfs the screen, revealing "CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF MOVIES" and "1920-2020" below the AMC logo, from parting searchlights. The trailer plays as normal until we get to the part where the camera gets to space. After we pan around the Earth, a silver star circumnavigates along with it and zooms into the camera (thus, all of the live-action parts are cut out), making the screen brighten. As we zoom into the star, we zoom through a crystalized vortex as an Instagram review (along with other reviews, which rapidly zoom past the camera) forms in the distance. Particles form the type "#1" in a regular font, which we zoom through. We then see the AMC Stubs logo on top of a line with "A★LIST" in Times New Roman, all in silver. We pan up to reveal the text "See Up To 3 Movies Every Week" (with "Up" and "To" stacked on top of each other). The camera then pans to the left where we see all of AMC's subsidiarial feature logos ([[Dolby Digital Cinema|Dolby Cinema]], [[IMAX Corporation|IMAX]], [[RealD 3D]], and [[Prime at AMC|PRIME]]) fading in one after the other. The text "ALL FORMATS INCLUDED" in Century Gothic is seen below, along with copyright notices for their respective companies. After the PRIME at AMC logo fades out, the camera pans to the bottom-right corner where we see a top view of a bag of popcorn on the bottom-left and the top of a cup of Coca-Cola on the top-right (with the Coca-Cola logo on it). In the middle of all of this is the text "FREE Size Upgrades" and "On Popcorn & Fountain Drinks" in sparkling silver (with "FREE" being on top of "Size Upgrades" and "On Popcorn & Fountain Drinks" being on the bottom and smaller than the rest of the text) with copyright notices on the bottom-right. After the popcorn and Coca-Cola pulsates once, the camera pans to the top-left where we see a phone with AMC Stubs points on it. The text "$5 Reward For Every $50 Spent" (with the dollar signs being very small and placed on the corner of the numbers and with "For Every $50 Spent being smaller than the rest of the text) and a notice is seen. The phone flips to the left and reveals the text "FREE Online Movie Reservations". The phone now has the AMC website screen on it. As everything then zooms in, the background starts to spin and turn green. Then the MPAA band screen segueation commences, but with a difference: The transition is now built to reflect on the MPAA band screen change. The transparent MPAA globe logo fades in at the center of the screen, the three "MPA" letters hang down, the MPAA globe logo turns in on top of it, and the two URLs fade in and slide up.
*'''Previews (2019-present):''' After the AMC ring is formed, two pairs of spotlights reveal "CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF MOVIES" / "1920 - 2020" below the wordmark. Later, as the streaks light up the Northern Hemisphere, a giant silver star appears and zooms towards the screen. In a red void, several positive reviews for AMC's A-List and a "#1" made of glowing particles appear, then the #1 zooms through the screen to reveal the AMC Stubs A-List logo. Beyond the reviews and logo are "See Up To 3 Movies Every Week", logos for AMC's premium formats (Dolby Cinema at AMC, IMAX at AMC, [[RealD 3D]], Prime at AMC) with "ALL FORMATS INCLUDED" and fine print below, "'''FREE Size Upgrades''' On Popcorn & Fountain Drinks" between top-view images of popcorn and Coca-Cola, and "'''$5 Reward''' For Every $50 Spent". A smartphone on the right moves to the left, revealing "FREE Online Movie Reservations". The fine print, words and smartphone disperse as the screen exits the red void into a green environment. The lines again zoom past "COMING and "SOON", and the MPA symbol appears in the background as letters form the "Accompany This Feature" message. www.motionpictures.org and www.filmratings.com on the left and a MPA logo on the right appear below.
*'''Feature Presentation (2019-present):''' The lines move through the mountains towards the city. The screen moves across the city from a view facing down, then the screen turns red as the AMC A-List Stubs logo and a message telling viewers to join A-List and receive credit for the following movie appear. The AMC Stubs sequence follows, and the longer revised list of perks ends with "JOIN US AFTER THE MOVIE AT '''AMCSTUBS.COM'''". A flash transitions to the "don't ruin the movie" sequence, followed by the Coca-Cola machine and the lines with videos inside them, where the man spilling his popcorn is cut off. Several lines surround the Coca-Cola glass, then the screen moves above the Earth as several lights glow and the lines move to the right. Above the earth is a large "100" reflecting the glowing U.S. from the "Previews" opening. A light flashes in the top right and the lines reveal "1920-2020 | CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF MOVIES AT AMC" below the 100. The screen zooms through the 100 and space to reveal "ENJOY THE SHOW" on a black background.

'''Logo:''' Under a night sky, we see the AMC logo reflected in a puddle. A foot wearing high-heeled shoes steps in it causing it to ripple. We then cut to a shot of a blond-haired woman with a {{color|tan|beige}} raincoat and a blue strap shirt (Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman) who takes off her hood and stands in front of the theater. She is then shown walking down a bright {{color|gray}} hallway with numbers listed on the walls. We then cut to her entering an auditorium with the AMC logo on the wall and steps with {{color|gold}} lights on the slats. We cut to a shot of her walking up the stairs, then to multiple side views of her. Before she sits down, the auditorium goes dark. We see a projector turned on and playing a movie clip (from ''Jurassic World'') and cut to a shot of the clip shining behind her. The camera cuts to a view of the movie screen (which is playing ''Wonder Woman'' (2017)). Kidman then sits in her seat and crosses her legs as a clip from ''La La Land'' is shown on the screen. After we see Kidman with an uninspired-looking face, we see a clip from ''Creed'' being on a collective shot. We see more panning shots of Kidman, and we finally end with the "AMC THEATRES" logo glowing over an iris-like background. The slogan "WE MAKE MOVIES BETTER" fades in below the logo.
'''Logo:''' Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman, reciting a speech about visiting an AMC theater, walks through a rain puddle at night reflecting an AMC theater, then takes off her rain coat once she makes it there. She walks towards the theater, and enters a bright {{color|gray}} hallway with numbered auditorium entrances. Kidman enters one of the auditoriums and walks up the left stairs to the top row of seats, then the screen fades to black. A projector exposes Kidman to clips from ''Jurassic World'' and ''Wonder Woman'' (2017), then she sits down in a lower-row seat and watches clips from ''La La Land'' and ''Creed'', as shown from various angles. Kidman says the last part of her speech to the camera. The "AMC THEATRES" logo glows over an iris-like background, and the slogan "WE MAKE MOVIES BETTER" fades in below.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Throughout the whole trailer, we hear a somber, yet powerful-sounding piano/orchestral tune. In the middle of all this, we hear Kidman say: "We come to this place for magic. We come to AMC Theaters to laugh, to cry, to care because we need them. All of us. That indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim. And we go somewhere we've never been before. Not just entertained, but somehow reborn. Together. Dazzling images on a huge silver screen. Sound that I can feel. Somehow, heartbreak feels good. Our heroes feel like the best part of us, and stories feel perfect and powerful. Because here, they are. AMC Theaters. We make moves better."
