2 Reasons AMC Stock Is Soaring in June
Memorial Day weekend set moviegoing records, and a lot of the sales went to AMC as the largest theater chain. With many expected hit movies slated for release, management thinks it's turned a corner. AMC stock is still down year to date and the company has a lot to prove. 10 stocks we like better than AMC Entertainment › AMC (NYSE: AMC) is the largest movie theater operator in the world, but being the leader in a troubled industry hasn't done much for the company over the past few years. With the advent of streaming and residual fears from the pandemic, moviegoing just isn't what it once was and AMC continues to struggle. However, Memorial Day weekend was a boon for the company and AMC stock has been climbing. Let's see why and what it means for the future. Streaming from home has taken a toll on the box office, but there is still life left in theaters. Four of the top 10 highest-grossing films ever were released since the pandemic started, including Avatar: The Way of Water in the No. 3 spot and last year's Inside Out 2. People are still going to the movies. That fact was reinforced with a record Memorial Day weekend in May. Disney's live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch had the highest-ever four-day Memorial Day opening, and it was buttressed by a strong showing for Paramount's Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning. Altogether, these two topped a blowout weekend with $326.7 million in domestic ticket sales, and Lilo & Stitch is already the second-highest-grossing domestic film of the year. Of course, that success trickled down to generate incredible financial results for AMC. Management said it set an all-time record for admissions revenue, food and beverage revenue, and total revenue for a weekend Memorial Day opening, and that the five-day stretch was the third-highest revenue for any five-day slot in more than 10 years. As for attendance, this was the highest-attended weekend and highest-attended five-day period of the year, both domestically and globally. Management didn't provide specific financial metrics for the weekend, so investors aren't likely to hear the nitty-gritty details until the second-quarter earnings release sometime in July or August. But management's update and optimism are boosting investor confidence. It's nice for the company to have a solid, record-breaking opening, but can it last? Management thinks so, and the market may be pricing that in. CEO Adam Aron said that after this weekend, AMC has turned a corner. "With many more potentially huge movies coming in June all the way through the end of 2025, and beyond that deeply into 2026 as well," he said, "we firmly expect to be enjoying a robust theatrical box office as we look ahead." Here's what to be excited about. Disney has a full slate of films coming out over the next few years, including the third film in the Avatar series. The first two are the highest-grossing and third-highest-grossing films ever, and the next film is slated for release this coming December. It also has the next Frozen film and other top franchises coming out soon. Warner Bros. has its own expected hits coming out, including a new Superman, and Comcast's Universal Studios has the next installment of Wicked and a new Shrek. Sequels to popular franchises can be big business. But the company is still reporting revenue declines and losses as of the 2025 first quarter. It will take some time to see if AMC has indeed turned a corner. As the price has increased in June, so has the short interest in AMC, hitting almost 15% of all outstanding shares. These investors are betting on this being a short-term boost and that the price will fall from this surge. Even though AMC stock is up 29% over the past month, it's still down 15% year-to-date. Unless the company releases incredibly strong earnings for the second quarter and keeps up its performance, the price jump may not last. Part of what's frustrating about that for investors is that many variables are beyond the company's control. It's up to film producers to create hit movies that bring viewers into theaters and to make the decision to keep them there long enough before they hit streaming services. That can be quite lumpy. You need to have real confidence in the future of the film industry and the resilience of theaters as a beckoning call for die-hard fans to want to invest in AMC's future, and for most investors, that time isn't now.

You're about to get ads right before the movie at AMC too
You're going to see ads right before the movie at AMC Theatres from next month. The cinema chain is adding a "platinum spot" in between the trailers and the film from July 1. The move is part of an agreement with National CineMedia that will give AMC a slice of the revenue from these ads, which the company describes as "vital" to its post-pandemic recovery. Rivals including Regal and Cinemark have been playing pre-show ads since 2019. AMC had held out over fears of alienating movie fans. AMC said in a statement that its competitors had not suffered "any direct impact to their attendance. This is a strong indication that this NCM pre-show initiative does not negatively influence moviegoing habits." AMC said last month it would start offering 50% off tickets on Wednesdays for members of its loyalty scheme in a bid to boost midweek attendance, alongside an improved selection of food and beverages. Revenues fell 9% to $862 million in the first quarter for AMC, while attendance at US theaters fell 11%. Total US box office takings stood at nearly $3.4 billion by the end of May, per Comscore data — 26% higher than the same period last year. A $4.2 billion haul is being forecast by the data provider for period from the first weekend in May to the Labor Day weekend in early September, Screen Daily reported. That could beat 2023's " Barbenheimer" summer when ticket sales reached almost $4.1 billion.

Ballerina's fight scenes go even further than John Wick
John Wick may the king of overkill then Ballerina's Eve gives him a run for his money with her scrappy fighting style and ability to make anything, and we do mean anything, into a weapon. From grenades to ice skates, flamethrowers to plates, Ana de Armas' assassin is resourceful when she needs to be, and it makes for some ridiculous fight scenes in the movie — which follows Eve as she seeks to avenge her father's death by destroying the killer cult who murdered him. This, director Len Wiseman reveals to Yahoo UK, is by design and for good reason too. "I used to to be a prop guy, I start from there with building out the props and buying ice skates and buying a knife and attaching it to a gun and putting what is going to be really ridiculous or very, very cool," Wiseman says. "I think there's always that area where it possibly sounds like a silly idea, but if you pull it off then it's a very cool idea and it's such a great line. "But the in terms of, I'm glad you say her fighting is different because that was very important to me, I had no intention, or no interest, in creating a female John Wick. This is her own character and kick-a** and everything in her own right. but I never wanted to have Ana replicating what Keanu Reeves does. "Keanu is John Wick, he has a flavour and that's that's all John Wick. So I didn't want that, so I'm very glad that people are also receiving it that way. She has a different style that's all her own, and she has to. She has to be clever in her own ways to battle the dudes that she's up against." This made things interesting for Armas' co-stars like Norman Reedus, who plays fellow assassin Daniel Pine and had his fair share of action scenes that take ridiculous turns. "They're very choreographed fighting sequences," Reedus says of the intricacies of getting an action scene down in the John Wick franchise. "There's multiple people doing their choreography and their fights and their gun work, martial arts and all these things, and there's also the building and the room is exploding around you at the same time. "So there's a definite math problem of that's going to blow when you come around the corner, you gotta remember that, and then you're barefoot and there's glass, the floor is very slippery so you're focused on that and then you've got the dialogue and the action, — there's a lot going on. "You really have to just keep your chin down and focus and do a good job, but also your marks are also triggering other people's marks so it's a very mathematical ballet." Reflecting on the restrictions of a scene that well choreographed, he adds: "You kind of get it down and then you get loose with it, it's different than like Daryl Dixon or Walking Dead where it's a very loose fighting style, everything's just sort of sloppy and rough. You don't want to be like [a robot] of course you know: 'one, two count to three, four', but you also want to know it so that you can do it and not mess up that guy and that girl, and that explosion and this gun. There's a lot going on, it's fun." The person that brings the story together is Armas, who deftly takes the baton from Keanu Reeves to introduce a new chapter in the franchise. A lot rides on her shoulders to make the new film work, and according to her cast and crew mates that was not an easy task but one she achieved well. Wiseman says that Armas "adds so much" to the John Wick franchise, sharing that she has a quality that is so special it makes Eve an immediate standout. "She's a fantastic actor, but there's a quality that she has specifically that is just a gift to a director," he says. "And that is within a movie that is so physical, and the fights and the amount of training and preparation — she trained for months and months, just kicked her a** so that she could kick a** for everybody on screen —and the level that she was able to train and get that down, the performance to me within the fighting is so key. "Just the fire, the rage, everything you see, you're watching these really, really delicately choreographed sequences but I'm drawn more to her reaction to [it], it's the performance that she's giving. "It's not just remembering the beats of the choreography, which can often happen, there's such a driving performance in it that I would sit at the monitor and we'd go through and go [wow]. It's absolutely kicking a**, but she's also kicking a** with the performance that sometimes can get lost in sequences, so that for me was fantastic." Reedus felt similarly moved by Armas' performance, saying of his co-star: "I feel like actors can tell if they're going to get on with other actors the minute they meet them, and she and I got on right from the start. I knew it would be fun, I knew she was hard working and then I saw her work and I was like, 'OK, Norman, you got to bring it. She's bringing it, you gotta try to bring it.' "She's fantastic in the movie. she just kicks a** and her work ethic is [amazing]. She's really into it, it was great to work with her, it was very inspiring." It's a sentiment shared by Ian McShane, who returns as The Continental head Winston in the franchise off-shoot, as he tells Yahoo: "It's about time we got a female demographic in here, as we say in the parlance of film. She's great, but the character is a natural for the movie because you've seen the character before — she appeared as a kid in Chapter 3. "She has the same sort of background as as John Wick Keanu's character, I mean, you know, they're both from this mysterious Ruska Roma, which you still don't know that much about. "I think Ana, the turn she did in the Bond film was great, which left people wanting more — Well, here it is. You got more, and it's got a franchise of a role here playing Eve. I say in character as Winston, they're my two favourite assassins. They're both great at what they do, that's for sure." Reeves returns to the role of Wick in the new film, which is set between the third and fourth movies in the flagship franchise, as his character is sent to track down Eve when she goes on her revenge spree. The beauty of it was that Reeves and Armas had worked together before, so it was easy for them to develop the rapport necessary for the push-pull rivalry that John and Eve share. Wiseman explains: "I was so excited, really, to think of how we do tie in and how their stories cross. It's not a sequel, it's not a spin-off, it's more of a spin-on of that world because it really does build on the world, not off. "And being able to recreate different perspectives of some of the iconic moments in John Wick 3 and see, 'oh, that's what was happening during that time' is really cool." McShane is just happy that the story that first began back in 2015 has been going strong for so long, as he said: "Nobody thought was going to go into a money spinning franchise like it's gone into. But I think they've kept the integrity of the [original]... it's been great and it's great to see it grow and it's great to see it come back in another form with that. "This takes place between 3 and 4, so it's a natural fit in between, and if they go further with it either if Keanu is up for it and feels fit enough and strong enough that there'll be a John Wick 5, or maybe a Ballerina 2, it'll be nice." Ballerina premieres in UK cinemas on Friday, 6 June.
