AMC Entertainment Sets Memorial Day Holiday-Weekend Records for Admissions Revenue, Food and Beverage Revenue, and Total Revenue, on the Way to AMC's Biggest Revenue Weekend So Far in 2025
LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and the world, today announced a record-breaking Memorial Day holiday weekend performance. From Thursday through the Monday holiday, AMC set all-time weekend records for the Memorial Day holiday for admissions revenue, food & beverage revenue and overall revenue at its domestic locations. In terms of the number of guests in its theatres, both in the United States and globally AMC and ODEON Cinemas also recorded their highest attended weekend and highest attended 5-day period of 2025. All told, more than 7 million moviegoers visited an AMC in the United States or an ODEON Cinemas location internationally from Thursday through Monday. AMC's 5-day performance for overall revenue (admissions revenue plus food and beverage revenue) ranks as the Company's third-best 5-day period in more than a decade. As part of the successful weekend in the U.S., AMC recorded its biggest food and beverage revenue over a 5-day period this decade, and second biggest in Company history. Domestically, it was also AMC's most attended weekend of the year and its highest-attended Memorial Day weekend since 2013. Also, this past weekend domestically at AMC, each of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were the most attended of all the respective Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays of 2025. AMC's strong results reflect broader momentum across the theatrical industry, as media outlets report a record-setting Memorial Day box office, driven by the robust openings of LILO & STITCH and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING. Audiences for both films filled AMC's extensive network of premium screens, including IMAX, Dolby Cinema and RealD 3D. AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron commented: 'Finally it would appear that our industry has turned a corner. Since early April, weekend after weekend, moviegoers have been demonstrating their preference for theatrical moviegoing. A record-setting Memorial Day holiday is yet another sign of the continued strength and relevance of moviegoing in 2025. 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, we firmly expect to be enjoying a robust theatrical box office as we look ahead.' Aron continued: 'This record-setting Memorial Day weekend underscores the long-standing truth that when exceptional films meet unmatched theatrical experiences, audiences respond in a big way. We are especially grateful to our studio partners at Disney and Paramount, as well as the filmmakers, casts, and crews behind LILO & STITCH and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING for their creating stories and delivering performances that truly resonated with moviegoers. Their creative efforts, combined with AMC's continued focus on enhanced sight, sound, and comfort, led to AMC Entertainment enjoying one of the most successful weekends in our company's history.'

Premium Formats Power AMC Theatres® to Its Biggest Weekend so Far in 2025 and Second Biggest April Weekend Since 2019 – in the United States and Globally
AMC Theatres in the U.S. and ODEON Cinemas internationally recorded their best Thursday-through-Sunday weekend in 2025 and second-best weekend in April since 2019 - based on attendance, admissions revenue, and overall revenue At U.S. locations, 33% of AMC's attendance was generated by its Premium Large Format (PLF) screens and RealD 3D screens on Saturday, April 5 AMC has recently announced further investments in its PLF strategy, which will bring popular PLF offerings to even more theatres over the next few years The performance of A MINECRAFT MOVIE reinforces AMC's belief that after a slow start to 2025, the box office is expected to be much stronger throughout the remainder of the year LEAWOOD, Kan., April 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMC Theatres (NYSE:AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and in the world, today announced that its premium experiences, and the strong performance of A MINECRAFT MOVIE, helped give AMC in the U.S. and ODEON Cinemas internationally their most successful weekend so far in 2025 and second-biggest April weekend, Thursday through Sunday, since April 2019. Those benchmarks include attendance; admissions revenue; and overall revenue, including food and beverage. A MINECRAFT MOVIE's performance, which finished well ahead of public industry predictions, helps reinforce AMC's belief that the box office will be stronger going forward than it was in the first quarter of the year. The movie's attendance in AMC's premium large format (PLF) and RealD 3D auditoriums is powerful evidence that there is meaningful opportunity to grow AMC revenues by expanding the availability of PLF screens for its guests. AMC's PLF experiences in the U.S. include IMAX at AMC, Dolby Cinema at AMC, and PRIME at AMC. Among those PLF experiences, combined with the performance of its premium RealD 3D showtimes, AMC recorded 33% of its attendance in premium auditoriums on Saturday, April 5. In the fall of 2024, AMC announced the AMC Go Plan. This investment initiative is designed to enhance the AMC moviegoing experience through seating upgrades, theatre renovations, and by expanding PLF offerings to AMC moviegoers. In the last two weeks, AMC announced it will expand its premium presence over the next few years, adding more PLF locations with its major providers, and new unique, premium experiences. AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron commented:"This weekend's impressive box office result makes two things very clear. First, as we've been saying for many months, after an expected slow start to the box office in 2025, the rest of the year looks to be much stronger. We expect to see one movie title after another in rapid succession bringing moviegoers into our theatres in droves. And second, the over-indexing of attendance in the PLF auditoriums of our theatres demonstrates that our guests have a keen preference for premium experiences. This is further confirmation that there is significant opportunity for AMC to grow revenues and enhance guest satisfaction by our investing in the expansion of PLF offerings at AMC Theatres and ODEON Cinemas." Aron further commented:"We thank and congratulate A MINECRAFT MOVIE's filmmakers, and our good friends and partners at Warner Bros. Pictures. This was a film made and marketed to appeal to a massive moviegoing audience. We look forward to the movie's continued success in our theatres over the next several weeks, and to welcoming more exciting and guest-pleasing titles in the weeks and months to come."
