LOS ANGELES -- Whether you're an aisle-seat hanger or Girlfriend’s Sister [Uncut]a back-of-the-theater lurker, the moviegoing experience is getting incrementally less stressful as reserved seating slowly spreads across theater chains and ticket-buying apps.
The steady march toward total control of your view took a major leap forward, as AMC Theatres -- soon to be the world's largest chain, and currently the second-largest in North America -- on Wednesday announced that all New York City locations will go to reserved-seating only.

AMC was already offering reserved seats at 125 locations nationwide, but this is believed to be the first major market-wide implementation of the policy -- and more are sure to come. Like, Los Angeles would be nice. Ahem.
"As we look at markets where we can begin to make reserved seating prevalent, there’s no better place to start than Manhattan, where a trip to the movies often means a subway or cab ride," said John McDonald, executive vice president, U.S. Operations, AMC. "Reserved seating lets moviegoers pick the exact seat they want when they make their movie-going plans and provides our guests with the confidence that their specific seat will be waiting for them when they arrive at the theatre."
Not that it matters to me -- I'm the guy who prefers to sit up nice and close.
