Coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics will be available to view in movie theaters. Tickets went on sale through Fandango. This is the first time fans will be able to watch the Olympics in a movie theater.
The theaters will show NBC’s daytime coverage of the Games throughout the US. Competition is scheduled from July 27-August 11th with swimming from July 27-August 4.
160 AMC locations will provide live coverage. The timing of the coverage varies from day-to-day but all of the days begin within the range of 11 am EST through 2 pm EST.
After browsing a few of the potential options, ticket prices seem to range from $6 up to ~$15. Prices depend on time and day while the biggest factor seems to be location. Discounts are available for “Seniors” and “Children.”
Earlier this year, Fandango reportedly did a study of over 6,000 moviegoers. They found that many movie fans are interested in watching events other than movies in theaters. It was found that 70% of parents surveyed said they would be interested in experiencing sporting events, such as the Olympics, on the big screen.
NBC will provide live swimming coverage during the afternoon hours for the first time at a European Olympics, instead of waiting until the evening primetime coverage. Also highlighting some of NBC’s coverage is the addition of Snoop Dogg.

Imagine watching the Beijing 400 free relay live in a movie theater with a bunch of fellow swim nerds.

I’ll go with the W 400 Free Relay from 1976 Montreal, and the M 800 Free Relay from 1984 Los Angeles.

I went to see the latest Guy Ritchie film fairly recently. First time in a theater since before Covid probably. There were about 10 of us in the theater, here in Los Angeles. They pumped 20-25 minutes of Coca-cola and other commercials at us before previews… host your annual corporate event at our theater, etc… and I understood this is the only way they are keeping the lights on.

Pass. I like having the “remote” and choosing what event to watch and when.

Best idea they’ve had in a while – Imagine getting the whole squad to fill a theater to cheer on Team USA. That would be one heck of a vibe
