Meanwhile, AMC Theatres’ Summer Movie Camp is offering $3 movie tickets for showings beginning June 22, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation. Screenings begin June 22 and continue through Aug. 12.

Films included in AMC Theatres’ summer movies lineup are:

  • “Paddington in Peru”

And in case you’re wondering why both theater chains are, seemingly randomly, showing “Muppets Treasure Island” among a slew of more recent films, it’s because the 1996 musical comedy starring the Muppets and Tim Curry celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.
