Today AMC announced that fans will be able to watch The Walking Dead Season 8 Finale AND the Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Premiere (which airs immediately after) at a participating AMC theater. According to Entertainment Weekly, AMC is partnering with Fathom Events to bring both zombie shows to at least 750 theaters across the United States for one night only on April 15th.
For theater-goers, both episodes will be commercial-free and include exclusive bonus content that will roll 30 minutes prior to airing (and make up for the time of commercial breaks). Tickets are available for $10 now on the Fathom Events site and fans can purchase them here. The ticket price along with theater participation will also be made available at that time. To clarify, fans can also watch at home as per usual. Check out the promo image below:
Not only is this the first time AMC has aired a new episode of either show in a theater, but it’s also the first time Fear the Walking Dead has premiered immediately after The Walking Dead. That’s due in part because The Walking Dead’s Morgan (Lennie James) is crossing over to Fear, and airing the two episodes this close to each other will make for an easier transition. However it plays out, this will undoubtedly be the perfect viewing experience for any Walking Dead fan.
Will you be attending one of these AMC theater showings on April 15th? Let us know in the comments!
I plan to look & see if it’s available at my theater, but I’m hoping tickets are half-priced since Fear The Walking Dead is a part of it.
Never mind. Fucktards kicking the seat, chatting, flashing their cell phones, & farting while I’m trying to watch The Walking Dead? Oh hell naw!
As a long time fan since the beginning… it hurts that you only care enough to do this for American fans… why not Canada? Or UK? We provide views and numbers for your raitings… just really sucks we can’t be apart of this…
I completely agree! I was SO ticked when AMC announced this. They USED to allow Canadians to even enter their contests, but no more. You can’t even sign up to the Fan club thing! You suck AMC! You have millions of fans in Canada & the U.K. & you are completely ignoring them. I could understand not showing it in theaters in the U.K., because it doesn’t air the same night, but it DOES in Canada. I just bought the Walking Dead Trivial Pursuit game, (We have ALL the WD games, even the WD Risk) & it costs $20 in the US, but after shipping & exchange on the money, it cost me $42! Then, they shipped it DHL & THEY changed me an additional $9, so MY game cost me over $50!!!!
I’m done with AMC.. And WD is the ONLY reason I watch AMC. Time you actually paid attention to your fans.
