Buying a ticket at a movie theatre? How about purchasing some of the theatre's stock?

AMC Entertainment Holdingsannouncedthat it is reserving a number of shares in its upcomingIPOfor its most loyal members. AMC Stubs members, who originally received the perks of popcorn and soda size upgrades, $10 movie theatre credit for every $100 spent and the waiver of online fees, are eligible to buy shares without paying fees.

AMC Stubs membership only costs theatre fans $12 annually. However, members, as well as employees, will have a 24-hour head start in the IPO to ensure Stubs members have an opportunity to reserve shares at the offering price. Using the LOYAL3 Social IPO Platform, individuals can buy from $100 to $2,500 of AMC stock with no fees.

"While many companies depend on their customers' support every day, those customers don't always get the chance to own a piece of the action at the same price as Wall Street investors," AMC Theatres CEO Gerry Lopez said in a statement. "We're offering this exclusive employee benefit to our AMC Stubs members to express our sincere gratitude for your loyalty."
