Enjoy a Family Outing to See a Free Movie on SING SATURDAY at AMC Theatres

After stuffing your belly with food on Thursday and spending all your money shopping on Friday, head to your local AMC theater on Saturday for a FREE movie during your Thanksgiving Weekend.  Illumination Entertainment, the studio behind Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, Despicable Me 2 and Minions, in partnership with AMC Theatres is making November 26, 2016 #SINGSATURDAY by providing free passes to an advance showing of its newest animated feature film at locations across the United States. Tickets for these SING screenings are available on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 200 moviegoers in line at participating AMC Theatres on SING SATURDAY (9 a.m. local time).  For a listing of participating locations around the country and more information regarding the event, please visit singsaturday.com



Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, SING stars Buster Moon Matthew McConaughey), a dapper koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal—some might even say delusional—optimist who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now faced with the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.

Five lead contestants emerge: Mike (Seth MacFarlane), a mouse who croons as smoothly as he cons; Meena (Tori Kelly), a timid teenage elephant with an enormous case of stage fright; Rosita (Reese Witherspoon), an overtaxed mother run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets; Johnny (Taron Egerton), a young gangster gorilla looking to break free of his family’s felonies; and Ash (Scarlett Johansson), a punk-rock porcupine struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo.

Each arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life. And as Buster coaches each of his contestants closer and closer to the grand finale, he starts to learn that maybe the theater isn’t the only thing that is in need of saving.

Featuring more than 65 hit songs, Sing is produced by Chris Meledandri and his longtime collaborator Janet Healy.  Together, they have produced all of Illumination’s films since the studio’s inception.  Released by Universal Pictures, SING arrives in theaters on December 21, 2016.
