'''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:''' A {{color|blue}} beam of light emerges from a black background. From this beam emerges a {{color|blue}} stripe with an outline of the continental United States gliding toward the audience. Then two more stripes emerge, one on top and one on the bottom placed at the center of the first stripe. The stripes then rotate sideways to reveal the AMC logo, and continue rotating after the logo is centered. The stripes then center themselves in the same position as they were originally, then the first stripe lifts upward to reveal the "Feature Presentation" text. The text shines once it's in place, while the stripe moves to the top of the screen. A light shines across the AMC logo as this happens. All three lights then rotate once more, but don't manage to center themselves again before the logo fades out.

'''Previews Variant:''' A bright {{color|blue}} light appears with the text "Now Showing or Coming Soon to an AMC Theatre". This would show before the film to advertise 3-4 trailers in the theater.

'''Logo:''' We start off with live footage of an '80's AMC theater ("AMC" in its same font as the last logo) with a sign saying "AMC 6 Theaters", with cars pulling in the parking lot and people walking in. The camera gets a close up into the logo, then cuts to "AMC" in its font from the last logo on a {{color|gold}} sign. It then cuts to a girl in the lobby, wearing a uniform, speaking into the microphone. It then cuts to a couple across from the girl working. It cuts to the movie ticket printing out and a hand grabbing it. The person hands it over to an usher letting them in. It cuts to them buying some popcorn at a stand inside the theater with another worker talking to them. It cuts back to the two who grab the popcorn bucket. It then cuts to a close up of popcorn popping and popcorn in its bucket. The two then walk away with the popcorn and go inside the cinema. Inside, other people are sitting down from old to young. They then put down their drink and cuts to another couple kissing and a family with a little girl smiling. It then cuts to the screen where "A", "M", and "C" fade in time with the music along with the (R) symbol on the side all in chrome. The logo shines while "There is a difference" in cursive is being written below. The logo fades to black and "Feature Presentation" fades in written in cursive and fades out.

'''Previews Variant:''' On a black background, "There is a difference" in cursive fades in one by one. Then, it cuts out and starts zooming out from the back of the "A" from "AMC" flipped. The logo turns 180 degrees in the same "AMC" from an angle and a different chrome color shining. "PREVIEWS" zooms in under the logo and fades to black.

'''Logo:''' We start off by seeing 10 filmreels, 5 on each side rotating. Text flies by the top of the reels. The camera cuts to the top view of the reels: 2 on the top, 3 on the bottom and the other 5 are flipped on the other side. Text reading "There is a difference" goes in between the reels from right to left. As the text disappears, the reels start separating as the "AMC" text in a glass outline appears. The camera turns to face the front of the text while a laser draws the outline in {{color|red}}. When the camera stops turning, "Feature Presentation" flies in from the right while a {{color|gold|yellow}} circle with a trail flies in from the right, going through the text. Other {{color|gold|yellow}} dots, circles, and squiggly lines all fly in. The logo shines for a bit while the star at the bottom right corner spins. The logo fades out.

'''Logo:''' We start by fading into a shot of a film case with "AMC" with a {{color|red}} outline on top. A label below reads "Feature Pres." while a spotlight shines on it. The camera zooms out while the case spins and shakes. The case pops open while an anthropomorphic figure made of filmstrips (named Clip, who was AMC's mascot from 1991 to 2009) flies out. He flips and lands while he is shaking his head. He waves his film hand at the case as a film reel pops out and bounces with him while he walks on the {{color|darkviolet|purple}} floor. While they are walking, a film reel is shown sideways behind them with the text saying "There is a difference". Clip jumps and when he lands, he waves his film hand around him leaving a trail of {{color|blue}} light. The camera cuts to the floor turning sideways as he jumps on the film reel and flies away. While that is happening, the AMC logo begins to draw itself in from left to right. A few more circles of {{color|gold|yellow}} and {{color|red}} appear on the bottom right of the screen. A {{color|gold}} rectangle flies in from the bottom with the text "Feature Presentation" on it. The copyright mark appears of at the end of the "C". Clip flies past the logo and through the screen leaving a trail of stars behind.

'''Previews Variant:''' We pan over the same film case described above. Meanwhile, a rolled label falls down onto the canister. As it lands, the label unrolls itself right below the AMC logo, revealing the word "PREVIEWS".

'''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.

'''Previews Variant:''' We start off by fading into a {{color|darkviolet|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.

'''Logo:''' We start by fading in into a theatre with pillars and stars on the side. A ledge extends out showing a music stand with "AMC" in its signature font on the back, music book, baton, and Clip wearing a white bow tie. A spotlight shines on him as he takes a bow. He opens up the book and turns the pages to a song called "There is a difference!". He stretches out his bow tie and taps the baton on the stand. As soon as he starts to conduct the piece, he finds four 8th notes hanging and then all the notes fall down to the bottom of the stand. He scratches his head and blows off the papers of the book. He then waves his baton around shining a {{color|blue}} light and shoots it at the front. The light goes out of the theatre and into the sky. Other colors ({{color|darkviolet|purple}}, {{color|orange}}, and {{color|green}}) are there as well. A big explosion appears forming "AMC" in its signature font with the letters outlined and the inside in {{color|silver}}. "FEATURE PRESENTATION" appears under the logo while the logo is zooming in with stars all around, a la the 4th [[Star Cinema]] logo. The logo then fades to black.

'''Previews Variant''': We start by zooming into the theater without Clip at the stand. The camera zooms through the top and to an AMC sign in the same font as the FP logo but with the copyright symbol. "{{color|gold|Previews}}" in cursive lights up on the sign. The logo cuts to black.

'''Logo:''' We start off by seeing a light turn on inside a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} wall hollowed in a {{color|gold|yellow}} wall. The camera starts to turn left as we see more of the wall {{color|gold|yellow}} and covered with lights. It turns and stops at a bag of AMC popcorn and 2 AMC drinks, all have pictures of Clip on it. A {{color|gold|yellow}} light shines and heads towards the drink in the middle. Suddenly, Clip jumps out of the drink and lands on the left side. Just like the 6th logo, he is much more {{color|gold|golden}}. He shakes himself to get rid of the water on him. He looks at the cup and bangs his film hand on it. Suddenly, a {{color|gold|yellow}}/{{color|darkviolet|purple}} flash appears. "{{color|red|AMC}}" and "{{color|gold|Theaters}}" appears on a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} background. "Experience the difference" is written below from left to right in cursive. Circles are drawn in along the logo and shines. The logo then disappears via a {{color|gold|yellow}} flash disintegrating through the screen as "{{color|gold|Feature Presentation}}" appears on that same background over a darker, {{color|darkviolet|purple}}, cursive "F" on the background close to the left. The logo then fades out.

'''Previews Variant''': On a {{color|darkviolet|purple}} gradient background, Clip turns around feeling a bubble, levitating on a set of {{color|darkviolet|purple}}, {{color|blue}}, and {{color|gold|yellow}} rings. Clip lets go of the bubble as the rings rise above the bubble, revealing the AMC Theatres logo and "Experience the Difference" below inside the bubble. "Coming Soon" ripples into view above the logo.

'''Logo:''' We start off with people gathered inside at an AMC theater. The camera focuses on 3 people: On the right is a girl with long blonde hair wearing a {{color|lightblue|light blue}} shirt, a {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} coat, {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} pants, and holding an AMC branded drink. In the middle is a dark colored girl with black puffy hair wearing a {{color|hotpink|pink}} T-shirt, a white shirt, {{color|gray}} pants, and holding an AMC branded bag of popcorn. On the right is a slightly dark boy with black short hair wearing a {{color|blue}} T-shirt, a white hoodie, black pants, and holding a drink and a bag of popcorn, both AMC branded. The camera zooms in on the girl on the left taking a zip from the drink. Vines start growing from behind the seat. The camera cuts to an angle from the girl where the people behind them disappear and trees grow in the back. The ground starts growing grass as vines grow along the seats and grass grows out of them while a firefly flies around her. The screen fades away as the roof unfolds to starry night sky. The camera cuts to the ground where the seats in front of them fold into the ground and grass grows on top. The camera cuts to the front view of the people as flowers of all colors start blooming in front of them. The three people start getting lifted from the ground in their seats by wood. The camera cuts to the girl on the left smiling while fireflies fly around her as she is getting lifted. The camera cuts to the boy on the right smiling and taking a drink while fireflies fly around him. The camera zooms out far to reveal them risen in the air watching over the hills as "AMC" in white appears in the sky over a city with the sun setting. More flowers appear on the bottom right hand corner and move like filmstrips. The logo cuts to black.

* '''Action/Sci-Fi (Welcome):''' An AMC circle logo appears on a white background. It then zooms into the screen flapping, then turns into a parachute that a red dot with glasses and a military hat is clinging onto, with several other parachutes in the background at a nighttime setting over a dark landscape. 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.

It then zooms into the screen flapping, then turns into a parachute that a red dot with glasses and a military hat is clinging onto, with several other parachutes in the background at a nighttime setting over a dark landscape. 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.

* '''Adventure''': The AMC logo fades in with a blue spotlight shining on it. The camera moves past the logo towards "keep track on your stuff", showing a golden pharaoh head idol (a reference to ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'') on the left, and a bag of sand that activates the text rumbling. An assortment of letters are near a red centurion helmet (similar to Magneto's helmet from ''X-Men'') and form "report suspicious characters". The words "front, behind, left, right" fly through a blue hyperspace tunnel and land left of a futuristic door, which opens itself to reveal a bright room with moving lines throughout. The camera zooms into the door, then "walk", "move", "far" and "away" are revealed by spotlights. To the left, behind some leaves are "coming soon" and a cup of water which get shaken twice (a reference to ''Jurassic Park''). The camera moves away and transitions to the MPAA "accompany this feature" screen.

*'''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.

'''Logo:''' Academy Award-winning actress 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.
