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.
It’s official. Toy Story 5 had the biggest domestic opening weekend gross of any movie so far in 2026, with a media reported $160 million. It’s the 7th different movie in the past three months to have a domestic opening gross above $75 million, which Toy Story 5 far exceeded.
As for AMC, in the U.S., we posted the highest attendance, highest ticket revenues and highest food & beverage revenues of any weekend so far in 2026.
In all, 4.8 million guests visited our theatres globally Thursday to Sunday.
We congratulate our friends at Disney and Pixar, as well as all the film makers behind Toy Story 5, for their delivering a theatrical event that clearly connected with audiences. Toy Story 5 scored a dazzling 94% from critics and 95% from moviegoers on Rotten Tomatoes.
And given our close dealings with Taylor Swift over the past several years, we also want to highlight and salute Taylor’s #1 chart-topping smash hit song, ‘I Knew It, I Knew You,’ which she wrote and performed for TOY STORY 5.
Movie after movie is doing so very well in theatres. With so many major releases coming to theatres across the entire summer, and especially so in July (led by Minions & Monsters, Moana, The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day), we have every confidence to expect that our momentum will continue.
AMC welcomed 4.2 million moviegoers from Thursday through Sunday during the Memorial Day weekend across its U.S. AMC Theatres and international ODEON Cinemas locations.
