*'''Previews (2019-2024):''' 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. | *'''Previews (2019-2024):''' After the AMC ring is formed, two pairs of spotlights reveal "CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF MOVIES" / "1920 - 2020" below the wordmark.

*'''Feature Presentation (2019-2024):''' 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. | *'''Feature Presentation (2019-2024):''' The lines move through the mountains towards the city.
