TBH, I don't care how long it takes, I love the community that has formed around $amc & $gme .. sure I can use a bit of extra $, but this community is just next level. Proud of all of you! Have a nice weekend! 🦍👊🏻💎👐🏻 #AMC#SaveAMC#AMCARMY#GME#AMCtothemoon#GMEtothemoon#HODL
Our U.S. AMC Theatres and overseas Odeon Cinemas welcomed 25.5 million guests in May 2026. Our highest attendance for a month of May in 7 years, better than any May since pre-pandemic 2019. Isn’t that just wonderful!
There are huge movies coming out in June and July too.
“Backrooms” just crushed it at the box office this past weekend. It was the 6th movie in the past 10 weeks to have a domestic opening gross above $75 million.
I have enormous confidence in AMC and the 2026/2027 box office. So today, using my own money, I bought 250,000 more AMC shares personally, at market price.
I now own outright 2,437,020 AMC shares, raising the total where I have an economic interest to 12,322,429 AMC shares*
It actually can be very hard for a CEO of a public company to buy shares. You have to clear having possession of any material non public information, sort out implications of any ongoing debt and equity transactions, and not be in a quiet period before when earnings will be announced. I was finally in a position to buy even more AMC shares today, and I did.
As I said, I have great confidence in AMC’s future. So, again today, I put my money where my mouth is.
This brings my holdings up to 12.3 million shares* of AMC common stock. My understanding is that I have been, and now even more so I remain, AMC’s biggest individual retail investor.
I should probably mention that I have not sold even a single share of AMC stock since January of 2022, more than four years ago.
I RIDE WITH YOU !!!

It is a massive development that Netflix has authorized the wide release on February 12, 2027 in movie theatres globally — so very importantly with a traditional 49-day exclusive theatrical window — of acclaimed director Greta Gerwig’s newest film Narnia.
Narnia will also receive some prominent advance screenings only in IMAX auditoriums, of which we have some 225.
At AMC, our cooperative efforts with Netflix picked up steam in the back half of 2025, and have been immensely successful.
Both AMC in the U.S. and Odeon across Europe will throw everything we have into the mix to support Netflix on this effort. We are in their corner fully. We are and will be all in.
It should not be lost on anyone the significance of Netflix trying a real global release of a major film title.
On Friday, we consummated a highly beneficial $425 million refinancing.
AMC has once again taken decisive action to strengthen our financial position by extending our debt maturities by four full years, while simultaneously reducing our annual cash interest expense.
I would like to thank all of our lenders who continue their staunch support of AMC, and in this case particularly the professional team at Deutsche Bank who were central to this effort. https://t.co/XtLtSDVHkA
A very exciting weekend at AMC Theatres, with the highly acclaimed biopic, MICHAEL. The singing and dancing of Jaafar Jackson, the global superstar’s nephew, is remarkable. It’s as if Michael Jackson is back: on our giant screens with their soaring sound. https://t.co/ZRGTUQs7yV
I issued the following statement this morning about potential industry consolidation:
The U.S. Department of Justice, state regulators, and other competition authorities throughout the world are currently looking at announced consolidation efforts in the movie industry. AMC Entertainment does not seek to influence their deliberations or decisions.
And as a preface to my comments today, I want to emphasize my profound admiration and respect for the entirety of the executive teams at Warner Bros., who have proven over and over again how immensely talented they are. The leadership of Warner Brothers’ Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy is especially noteworthy. They already have brought so many superb movies to our screens at AMC, films that were commercially successful and which met with critical acclaim. What’s more, they have brilliantly positioned Warner Bros. to have a compelling and promising slate of movies coming to delight moviegoers in 2026, 2027, 2028, and beyond.
Having said that, it is time for AMC to make known our favorable view about Paramount’s desire to acquire Warner.
I greatly appreciate David Ellison’s track record of success and his passion to make movies that will dazzle audiences the world over. In just the short time he has owned Paramount Pictures, he already has begun to assemble a superb team around him and already has been increasing the number of movies being greenlit at Paramount.
Of particular importance are his public commitments to expand film distribution by Paramount and Warner to at least 30 movies per year, and his vocal embrace of a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. Each of these developments is a significant improvement to what has been the case in recent years, where fewer movies were made and that they left theatres more quickly. Our knowledge of the film industry also convinces us that each of these promises is essential for the long-term health both of AMC and the broader movie theatre industry.
I am confident that David Ellison is sincere as to his intentions, and truly believe that he in fact will wind up delivering on these commitments.
Wow !!! Big !!!
Super Mario, Project Hail Mary and so many more movies led AMC Entertainment to recording our highest ever revenues globally for a 5-day Easter weekend (Wednesday to Sunday) in our company’s 106-year history.
More than 6 million moviegoers were in our theatres.
These are just some of the blockbusters coming out in 2026.
I haven’t been more optimistic about a growing industry-wide box office in years.
It’s my firm belief and expectation based on what I know now that 2026 will represent the biggest box office performance since 2019.
Another extraordinary Super Mario statistic.
Our movie themed merchandise sold at our theatres has become very popular, and we often sell out.
Expecting that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie would be a huge success, for AMC Theatres in the U.S. we ordered more than 500,000 themed units for retail sale, a massive and far bigger quantity of movie themed merchandise than we previously had ordered for any other movie since October of 2023 (we also ordered huge quantity for our 2023 movie Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour).
In just the first three days, we already have sold more Super Mario themed product than for any other movie since Taylor’s concert film in 2023.
Indeed, through only Friday, we already have sold about two-thirds of our total available inventory.
We should be at or close to being fully sold out by this Sunday — and totally sold out by the coming midweek or certainly by next weekend.
“Let’s-a-go!”
Project Hail Mary is the highest grossing movie of 2026 so far, a record it likely will hold for only 12 days.
Because…
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie opens today, and in my view it is sure to post sky high attendance and revenue numbers.
Only in Theatres.
Big news. The highest praise for NBCUniversal Chairman Donna Langley and her team Pete Levinsohn and Jim Orr.
Giving us hits like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (opening April 1).
AND Universal is significantly lengthening the time that movies will stay exclusively in theatres.
Today Tuesday March 10 marks AMC’s third grand collaboration with Netflix in the past few months. We will show at 50 of our U.S. theatres the first two episodes of season 2 of ONE PIECE: INTO THE GRAND LINE. A 1-night only fan event. May there be many more such joint efforts.
