Draft:AMC Theatres: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' These openings go over the same theater etiquette points as the previous two openings ("keep track of your stuff", "report suspicious characters", locate exits), but trade elaborate scenarios for items related to a theme.

* '''Horror''': The AMC logo appears and pans down, revealing a platform with blood stains all over it, the text "keep track of your stuff", and a white doll (resembling Annabelle) with {{color|red}} ponytail hair, an orange flower on the heart, {{color|red}} lips, sharp teeth, and glowing cat eyes. The doll cracks its head, then lunges towards the screen, blacking it out. We rotate around the text "report suspicious characters" with lights circling around (similar to the deadlights from ''It''), which then fade away. A static TV can be seen on the side as a hand appears and rocks it for a second (a reference to ''Poltergeist''). We zoom past the TV to see a door with a white glow behind it, and the text "front, behind, left, right" beside it. The door opens, revealing the floor to be a wooden textured one. We see the text "walk", with lights turning on behind it to reveal "move", "far", and "away". We zoom past the text and go up to an egg sitting on a chamber which opens (a reference to ''Alien''), with the text "coming soon" glowing blue for a moment. We zoom into the glowing portion of the egg, segueing into the MPAA band screen.

* '''Comedy''': The AMC logo appears and pans down, revealing the "keep track of your stuff" text hovering over a {{color|green}} floor (presumably a pool/casino game table) with a shot glass (with what appears to be beer) sitting there. Playing cards, from off-screen, are tossed under the table, residing underneath the text, while casino chips shortly fall afterwards onto them. We flip over to where the text is now next to a {{color|red}}-trimmed phone in which the shot glass rolls into (with tiny beer puddles barely seen next to it). The phone buzzes, as text saying "WHERE'S DOUG?!?!" is typed on-screen from a pop-up table. We zoom underneath the text and see a darkly-lit room with a checker-boarded floor. The text "report suspicious characters" in a {{color|lime|neon green}} color waves around (similar to a ghost). A knock-off version of the ghost trap from ''Ghostbusters'' (with a {{color|blue}}-{{color|gold|yellow}} palette instead of a {{color|gray}}-{{color|gold|yellow}} one) is tossed in from off-screen, opens up, and sucks the text in, with {{color|red}} and {{color|blue}} streaks also being pulled in the process. But the text is instead stripped from it's {{color|lime|neon green}} color, with it turning into the campaign's signature {{color|red}}. Two buttons on the ghost trap light up. The camera then zooms past it, with the text "right" spinning next to a brown-colored speaker with a plastic cup (and one laying down on the bottom) on a mat sitting on a rugged floor. The camera zooms out, revealing the text "front, behind" and "left," all next to the right and in a stacked alignment, via a {{color|blue}} light switching on. Everything thumps to the beat of the music, with a door sitting on the left. The door opens, revealing a light (ala the [[Virtual Studios]] logo) in which the camera zooms into. Over a {{color|darkred|maroon}}-colored polished plaid floor, the "walk" text is seen, with lights turning on behind it to reveal "move", "far", and "away". We fly by the text to a parallel glowing light, which is the edges of a bowling lane. A {{color|orange|carrot orange}} bowling ball rolls down the lane while the background illuminates to reveal a retro-style space background with {{color|gold|yellow}}, {{color|red}}, {{color|blue}}, {{color|orange}}, and {{color|darkviolet|purple}} abstract stars eventually filling the screen (a reference to ''The Big Lebowski''). The camera zooms up to the text "coming soon", with the two words stacked on top of each other. The words are dislodged from their positions and fly off, while two more large stars flip on-screen (one with {{color|gold|yellow}} edges and a {{color|darkgreen|dark green}} interior, and another with {{color|orange}} edges and a {{color|green}} interior). One of them engulfs the screen, segueing into the MPAA band screen.

* '''Fantasy''': The AMC logo appears and we pan down to a ground where a wand is assembling the text "keep track of your stuff". Next to it is a suitcase with the sticker of the initials "NS" (Newt Scamander from ''Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'') and two New York-related stickers on it that starts to jump up and down before the wand locks it. We then pan to a submerged pirate ship sail with the text "report suspicious characters" that's sinking with a rum bottle attached (referencing ''Pirates of the Caribbean''). When the ship is fully submerged in the water we pan to a mirror and a hat rack, with the text "front, behind, left, right," moving like a ticking clock (most likely referencing ''Alice Through the Looking Glass'') in the reflection of the hat rack, a purple hat (likely the Mad Hatter's hat) lands on it. We pan into the mirror, and we see the text "move, "far" and "away". The camera then pans to the rose behind glass from ''Beauty and the Beast'' (we can even hear the Beast roaring offscreen) with the text "coming soon" (which is made in stone) behind it. Green magic emanating inside the glass where the rose is and zoom into it, segueing into the MPAA band screen.

* '''Animation''': The AMC logo appears and we pan down to an ocean floor from the inside of a sea anemone (referencing ''Finding Nemo'' and its sequel ''Finding Dory'') while a blue tang is swimming outside (Dory from the aforementioned movies) with the text "keep track of your stuff", which is covered with seaweed and moss. The camera then zooms out of the anemone to the "report suspicious characters" text, which is made of technology parts, and below that is a test table with a banana on it (a reference to the ''Despicable Me'' movies), and the banana shrinks and then starts to grow large while we hear the Minions (likely it's Stuart, Bob and Kevin from the aforementioned movies) offscreen. When the banana fills the screen we zoom out and reveal a cantina made entirely of LEGO bricks (referencing ''The LEGO Movie'') and the text "front, behind, left, right" appears forming on the studded floor like the letters are made of LEGO bricks. On the right, a wall and a door assembles and we zoom right into it. The text "walk" is seen, with lights turning on to reveal "move", "far" and "away". The camera then pans through a wooden floor to reveal a crook, a cowboy boot with "Bonnie" written on it, a green dinosaur and a cardboard box that says "army base" on it with green army men toys on it (all references to the ''Toy Story'' movies, with allusions to the characters Bo Peep, Woody, Rex and the Green Army Men). Over one of the army men with a pair of binoculars, wen see the camouflage-styled text "coming soon" as two paratroopers descend into frame. We then zoom into the binoculars of the army man, segueing the trailer into the MPAA band screen.

'''Technique:''' CGI by Intake Studios.

* '''Horror''': During the first policy rule, we hear an eerie-sounding theme with bending strings, with the faint sound of a girl laughing. During the second rule, tense piano taps are heard with the sound of static, along with the sound of glass breaking and the TV rocking. The third policy rule has a held string note with faint piano taps. The fourth policy rule has a rather calm-sounding score as the tense piano taps return when the camera zooms past them. The held strings come back as we get to the ''Alien'' egg, ending with an abrupt two-note piano finish as the camera zooms into the egg. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before this frightening feature begins, let's talk safety. Keep track of all your possessions, or any "possessed" objects you may have brought with you. And if you happen to see any evil spirits with suspicious agendas, report them to our crew. In case of a haunting, or any other type of emergency, you'll want to find the closest door to safety. Watch your step, as you walk out of the theater, and move far away. Now that that's covered, let's find out what's hatching soon at an AMC near you."

* '''Comedy''': For the first policy rule, we hear a reversed guitar strum which rises in volume before segueing to a hard rock theme with the sound of a girl laughing, as well as the cards falling and the chips clacking. After the text flips over, we hear a "clink", followed by the phone buzzing and ringing. During the second policy rule, we hear a faint scream, followed by the sounds of the ghost trap and zapping noises. During the third policy rule, the music turns into a hard jamming tune with an audience cheering. The sound of the door opening is heard. During the "coming soon" segment, we hear the sound of the bowling ball rolling down the lane, which then ends the trailer with the sounds of the pins being knocked down, followed by a reversed whoosh. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before we start the shenanigans, let's talk safety. Be sure to keep track of your stuff. And any best "friends" you may have brought with you. And if you happen to see any slimy characters with questionable agendas, report them to our crew. This party's just gettin' started! But in case of an emergency, scope out the closest exit, and watch your step as you walk out of the theater, and move far away. Now let's be like the dude, and abide, as we find out what's rolling in to an AMC near you."

* '''Romance''': During the first policy rule, we hear a light woodwind fanfare which sounds like a vaguely-sounding version of "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion (from ''Titanic''). The second policy rule has a somber-sounding string score with faint thumps and a quiet "thunk" when the mask settles on the text. A bell tune with the sounds of clapping and the door creaking is heard for the third policy rule. Closing out the trailer is a calm, light piano tune for the "coming soon" segment. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before we begin this love story, let's talk safety. Keep an eye on your most precious valuables. Don't let them 'slip' through your fingers. And if you happen to see any suspicious characters with masked agendas, report them to our crew. Just in case you come down with cold feet or if there's any other emergency, you'll want to find the nearest exit, and watch your step as you walk out of the theater and move far away. Now that that's covered, let's find out what's set to make a lasting impression at AMC."

* '''Action''': For the first policy rule, we hear a loud, pounding rock theme with an engine starting and sounds of the chain rattling. As the sound of a car speeding dies down, we hear an adrenaline theme with the sounds of the watch beeping and the suitcase closing. This theme continues as the sound of a door being slammed open is heard, followed by the sound of the door sliding open as the theme calms to an angelic choir. Closing out the trailer is the sounds of a racecar speeding and its tires screeching with a dubstep theme ending with a bell toll. The female announcer says "Welcome to AMC. Before we start this action sequence, let's talk safety. Keep track of any crucial contraptions you may have brought with you. Don't let anything get left in the dust. If you identify any shadowy characters with top-secret agendas, report them to our crew. In case of an emergency, find an easy way out by locating the exit closest to you, and watch your step as you walk out of the theater and move far away. And now, let's shift into high gear and find out what's speeding into an AMC near you."
