AMC Skips AI-Generated Short After Online Backlash
AMC Theatres won’t screen the AI-generated short Thanksgiving Day, a Frame Forward festival winner that was set for a two-week run in cinemas via Screenvision’s pre-show; AMC says it was not involved in creating the content and will not participate at its locations. The project, created with AI tools Gemini 3.1 and Nano Banana Pro, follows a bear and his platypus assistant on a galaxy-spanning voyage, and the decision underlines ongoing debates about artificial intelligence in filmmaking and how exhibitors approach AI-driven programming.
