Of course @John_Hempton is telling us to buy more shares. He knows a ton of $AMC trading happens through dark pools. He’ll never tell you to go watch a movie, buy concessions, and load up on merch. None of them will. They’ll say things like, “GO FIND A BUY BUTTON.”
They can’t short fundamentals, so they don’t want you actually supporting the company’s business.
But buying shares in the secondary market doesn’t directly fund the company’s fundamentals unless it’s a primary offering, where AMC actually receives the cash (through dilution). Those are just shares changing hands between investors. If everything wasn’t going through dark pools, we’d actually see real price discovery, but that’s not the case.
We did not have the highest quarterly revenue and adjusted EBITDA in 106 years because we were all buying AMC shares. It happened because we fundamentally supported the company we are invested in. So when you come across the group of people who are constantly trying to snuff out the loudest voices in this community (the ones promoting fundamentals) while they’re yelling “go find a buy button,” make sure you understand what their real narratives may be.
I do continue to buy $AMC shares, because how can you not add to your baskets at these prices? I want to be ready for when real price discovery happens. I will also continue to fundamentally support the company I’m invested in so I can actually get that price discovery.
We can’t have AMC shares if we don’t have @AMCTheatres, and you can’t have AMC theaters unless people are actually supporting the company fundamentally. I know it’s a wild concept for certain pea-brained individuals around here to grasp, but hopefully they finally understand how wrong, wrong, wrong they were.
Per @CEOAdam $AMC
“WE REFINANCED $400 MILLION OF DEBT , EXTENDING THEIR MATURITY BY 4 YEARS” 🟪
“WE RAISED $285 MILLION THROUGH STOCK OFFERINGS AND ELIMINATED 🔥or INITIATED ELIMINATIONS OF $282 MILLION OF DEBT” 🟥
“SINCE END OF 2020 WE HAVE REDUCED OUR DEBT BY $1.7 BILLION”

On Monday (July 20), before the market opens, AMC will announce our financial results for the 2nd quarter of 2026.
Many of you will be keenly interested to learn more as to our performance so far in 2026.
Last night, I attended the premiere of Chris Nolan’s new masterpiece The Odyssey, which took place at our AMC Lincoln Square Theatre in New York City.
Oh my, my, my what a wild movie. Our theatres are going to be packed as moviegoers flock to see this film.
The Domestic Box Office: ticket grosses for all U.S. & Canadian theatres.
Q2 2026: $2.974 billion. That’s the biggest quarter since Q2 2019, and the 5th biggest of the 200 quarters of the past 50 years.
How many times have I heard some idiot say that movie theatres are dead?
Ending the second quarter on a bang not a wimper, the Domestic Box Office will be up by around 20% versus the same weekend last year.
The quarter should end at $3 billion industrywide, perhaps a hare under or over, clearly the highest q2 industry numbers since 2019.
Cumulatively, January 1 to June 30, the Domestic Box Office will be up about $600 million year over year.
With a strong July ahead of us, that number will grow even more soon.
Hello Minions, Moana, Odyssey and Spider-man.
Halllelujah.
AMC just raised $125 million to eliminate 2027 debt!
Eliminated $7 million yearly interest payment!!
Gained about $75 million cash for whatever they want!!!
$400 million debt removal when $5.66 deal for shares kicks in. This has got to be our near term goal.
