AMC Theatres® to Make Moviegoing More Affordable With a Major Pricing Initiative – Beginning July 9, AMC Stubs Members Will Enjoy a 50% Price Reduction off the Normal Adult Ticket Price All Day Long on Wednesdays

Business Wire12-05-2025

LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the spring box office in April and May booming, AMC Theatres® (NYSE: AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and the world, today announced a major new pricing initiative. '50% Off Wednesdays' is designed to make moviegoing more affordable than ever. Beginning July 9, AMC Stubs members will enjoy a price reduction of 50% off the adult-evening base ticket price all day long, on Wednesdays at all AMC locations in the United States. This new program is in addition to AMC continuing to offer significant discounts for AMC Stubs members on Tuesdays.
Available to all 36 million AMC Stubs members, including any new members of AMC Stubs (AMC Stubs Insider membership is completely free to join), the new program allows guests to experience the latest blockbuster hits and other beloved stories on the big screen at a significantly reduced cost. Additional charges for premium formats such as IMAX® at AMC, Dolby Cinema® at AMC, PRIME at AMC®, and RealD® 3D apply, but the 50% discount will be applied to the base ticket price of those formats as well. While certain movies and holiday time periods may be excluded from the '50% Off Wednesdays' program, it is envisioned that if successful, this new AMC pricing initiative will be almost universally available at all AMC Theatres in the United States going forward.
AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron commented:
'At AMC, we've gone to great lengths to create the preeminent moviegoing environment at our AMC theatres including our offering more comfortable seating, more premium formats, and better food and beverage offerings. Now, we also are pleased to make moviegoing more affordable, with our new '50% Off Wednesdays' effort. Realistically, we could not afford to have made this change to our ticket pricing strategy until the box office showed true signs of sustained recovery. But in April and now in May, the box office has been booming, and the remainder of 2025 appears poised to continue that upward box office trend.'
Aron continued, 'The introduction of Discount Tuesdays several years ago has turned Tuesday into one of the best attended days of the week, in part because there is a segment of the moviegoing audience who looks first for a great value in their moviegoing. With the introduction by AMC of 50% off Wednesdays, we're looking to turn Wednesday into a similarly strong-attendance day for moviegoers at our theatres.'
Guests who are not currently AMC Stubs members can sign up to be AMC Stubs Insider members for free through the AMC mobile app, website, or at their local theatre. AMC Stubs membership allows for the earning of points redeemable for discounts at AMC theatres, and offers additional perks year-round, including half-price tickets on Wednesdays, free birthday rewards, and access to exclusive offers and promotions.

3 Top Stocks Yielding Over 3% to Buy Right Now for Dividend Income and Upside Potential

Brookfield Infrastructure has increased its high-yielding payout every year since its formation. PepsiCo is an elite dividend stock. Prologis is growing its dividend much faster than the average dividend stock. 10 stocks we like better than PepsiCo › Dividend-paying stocks can be great investments. They can enable you to generate some passive income, providing a real return. In addition, dividend stocks have historically produced strong total returns as they've grown their earnings and shareholder payouts, driving stock price appreciation. Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE: BIPC)(NYSE: BIP), PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP), and Prologis (NYSE: PLD) currently stand out among dividend stocks. The trio has excellent records of paying growing dividends. On top of that, they currently offer attractive yields of more than 3%, partly due to drops in their stock prices this year. Because of that, they offer compelling blends of dividend income and upside potential. Shares of Brookfield Infrastructure have declined by nearly 10% from their 52-week high. That slump has pushed the global infrastructure company's dividend yield up to 4.2%. The company's stock price has also slumped, even though it's having another good year, and its funds from operations (FFO) rose 5% in the first quarter, powered by inflation-driven rate increases, recently completed expansion projects, and acquisitions closed in the past year. Brookfield Infrastructure has a terrific record of paying dividends. It has increased its payment in all 16 years since its formation, growing it at a 9% compound annual rate. The company expects to continue increasing its payout in the future, targeting 5% to 9% annual growth. It sees a trio of organic growth drivers (inflation-driven rate increases, volume growth as the global economy expands, and expansion projects), increasing its FFO per share by 6% to 9% per year. On top of that, the company has an excellent record of making accretive acquisitions funded by recycling capital. It recently agreed to invest $500 million in the acquisition of Colonial Enterprises, which owns a leading U.S. refined products pipeline system. It also partnered with GATX Corporation to buy Wells Fargo's rail operating lease portfolio (consisting of 105,000 railcars) for $4.4 billion. It's also acquiring Wells Fargo's rail finance lease portfolio (23,000 railcars and 440 locomotives) in a separate deal. Brookfield estimates that acquisitions like these will help push its FFO growth rate above 10% annually. PepsiCo stock has slumped more than 25% from its 52-week high. That plunge has propelled its dividend yield to 4.4%. That's a tasty level for a company with a long history of satisfying investors' cravings for more dividend income. The food and beverage giant recently increased its dividend payment by another 5%. That extended its growth streak to 53 straight years, enough to qualify PepsiCo as an elite Dividend King. PepsiCo's stock is down due to concerns that tariffs, a slowing economy, and changing consumer tastes will impact the company's growth. On the one hand, the company is seeing some impact from those headwinds this year. It now expects its earnings per share to be at the same level as last year's, compared to the mid-single-digit growth rate it initially expected. However, the company has a resilient business and expects its growth to reaccelerate in the coming years. It has been investing heavily in the strategic transformation of its portfolio to healthier food and beverage options, including buying Poppi, Siete, and Sabra in recent quarters. These investments should pay dividends for the company in the coming years by reigniting its earnings growth engine, which should enable PepsiCo to continue increasing its dividend. Prologis stock has slumped more than 15% this year. That sell-off has helped nudge its dividend yield up to 3.7%. The leading industrial real estate investment trust (REIT) has been under some pressure due to slowing demand for warehouse space. However, the company is still performing well amid all the uncertainty. Its core FFO per share increased 11% in the first quarter as it continues to sign new leases at much higher rates compared to the price point of expiring contracts on the same space. Meanwhile, the long-term demand picture for warehouse space remains robust. "Over the long term, limited new supply and high construction costs support continued rent growth," commented CEO and co-founder Hamid Moghadam in the first-quarter earnings press release. That should enable the company to capture higher rental rates on its existing properties and continue developing new warehouses. In addition, Prologis is using some of its land to build data centers to capitalize on the growing demand for these properties to support increased digitalization and AI technology. Prologis' growth prospects should enable the REIT to continue increasing its dividend. It has grown its payout at a 13% compound annual rate over the past five years. That's faster than the S&P 500 (5%) and REIT sector average (6%). Brookfield Infrastructure, PepsiCo, and Prologis offer investors the best of both worlds. They pay dividends that yield more than double the S&P 500's average (less than 1.5%), and they have compelling upside potential from their earnings growth and an eventual recovery in their stock prices. Because of that, they could produce strong total returns from here, making them great dividend stocks to buy right now.

Lead Plaintiff Deadline is June 16, 2025 for Investors of Ibotta, Inc.

NEW YORK, NY - June 8, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Ibotta, Inc. ('Ibotta' or the 'Company') (NYSE: IBTA) on behalf of Ibotta investors. CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE CASE If you are an investor in Ibotta and have suffered losses, you may CLICK HERE to contact us. You may also contact Kaplan Fox by emailing [email protected] or by calling (646) 315-9003. DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than June 16, 2025 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery. Ibotta purports to be a technology company that allows consumer packaged goods brands to deliver digital promotions to consumers through the Ibotta Performance Network. On April 18, 2024, Ibotta conducted its Initial Public Offering ('IPO'), offering 6,560,700 million shares of Class A common stock at a price of $88 per share. The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that; (i) Ibotta's data measurement system did not provide accurate, precise, and real time client campaign and consumer data measurement; (ii) the Company's business mix had shifted and was generating less revenue; and (iii) Ibotta had 'exhausted' its clients' budgets, negatively impacting fourth quarter 2024 revenue and expected first quarter 2025 revenue. According to the action, on February 26, 2025, after market hours, in connection with reporting fourth quarter 2024 and full year 2024 financial results, Ibotta's CEO Bryan W. Leach ('CEO Leach') explained just how deficient Ibotta's data measurement technology was by stating that 'it has become clear that we need to bring to market a more rigorous form of measurement that goes beyond the industry standard return on ad spend, or ROAS, framework.' Further CEO Leach allegedly announced that Ibotta would transform into a programmatic advertising company, which according to the complaint demonstrates that, at the time of the IPO, Ibotta's data measurement infrastructure was not suited for heavy reliance on third party platforms. On this news, the price of Ibotta's stock fell $29.08, or nearly 46%, to close at $34.09 on February 27, 2025, more than 60% lower than the IPO price of $88 per share.
