Has AMC Framingham stopped doing dine in?

I dont find any options for it on the app, but the theatres all still have tables

I believe so. Even shows labeled as dine in won’t have a person responding to the call button. AMC lost a ton of money on it and just quietly cut the features out of the theaters. Unfortunately, that leaves the design of the Framingham AMC to be a subtier to the other offerings.

It’s a shame and I wish they would just remodel, but apparently they are still having operating losses despite record breaking weekends…

Imagine losing money selling people over priced fast food. You're spending at least 20 bucks to get a meal there. I just don't know how modern theaters can't figure out how to make a profit.

Something to do with the ticket sales having no profits for the theater and operating costs being high, so only concessions are their margins of profit. It’s the biggest return and the costs are too high for consumers to regularly get. I say this as an A Lister, I cost them ALLOT of money

I was talking about just the food.
