AMC Theatres Partners With DoorDash to Deliver DINE-IN Eats

AMC Theatres is collaborating with DoorDash to deliver its hand-crafted DINE-IN menu items from U.S based DINE-IN theater locations to guests at home, with plans to scale quickly to all of its more than 550 U.S. locations, in 121 markets, by spring of 2025.

In the past few years, movie guests have voted with their appetites, making it clear they want to enhance their moviegoing experience through AMC’s elevated food & beverage offerings. With food and beverage purchases growing year over year, AMC has responded by expanding its menu, creating more delicious offerings — and now by enhancing convenience through home delivery.

This new agreement between AMC and DoorDash ensures guests wanting AMC menu items can now have them conveniently delivered via DoorDash from 48 AMC DINE-IN locations directly to their home. Popular home delivery items include AMC’s Perfectly Popcorn, Nachos and even ICEEs. Combined with AMC’s previous deal with Uber Eats means, home delivery is now available from all of AMC’s more than 550 locations circuit wide, including:

DINE-IN LOCATIONS – All AMC DINE-IN menu items, made with fresh ingredients, are now available for home delivery via DoorDash from AMC’s 48 DINE-IN locations. Selections include everything from Loaded Bacon Fries or Tots and Fried Mozzarella to Wings, Chicken Tenders, Burgers, Flatbread Pizzas and more.

FEATURE FARE LOCATIONS – Uber Eats delivers AMC food to guests at AMC’s 500+ theatres that offer its complete FEATURE FARE menu items. Over the next few months, DoorDash will expand its service to all AMC locations as well. Menu items available range from Sliders and Bavarian Legend Pretzels to Donut Holes for dessert.

“Over the last decade, AMC’s significant investment in transforming and elevating the food and drink experience has revolutionized the phrase ‘movie theatre food,’ which in turn has led to many of our new offerings skyrocketing in popularity with moviegoers,” said Mo Haq, vice president – food & beverage operations, AMC Theatres. “We know our guests crave our signature food beyond the movie experience, such as our Dry Rub Wings, Royal Bacon Brie Burger or Loaded Bacon Tots, which is why we’re bringing their favorite flavors to them both in theater and through home delivery — meeting their tastes wherever they are. Working with DoorDash — and being able to satisfy cravings for AMC menu items with one click of a button — represents yet another win for AMC moviegoers.”
