What people aren’t talking about…
$AMC has no meaningful debt maturities until 2029.
It’s July 2026. 3 years away.
The next major maturity is roughly $3B in 2029.
Meanwhile, AMC has continued building liquidity and now has more than $700M in cash after Q2 results.
Think about that for a second.
We are approaching 1B in cash and have years, not months, to add more to this position?
Not to mention - You don’t need to have the entire $3B sitting in a bank account. Strong liquidity gives you leverage when negotiating refinancing.
“Cash is king”
The market will decide whether that’s enough.
I’m betting it is. I’m in. LIKE ALL IN !
THE DAY AFTER. It was such a distinct pleasure, so immensely satisfying, to be able to report to you yesterday that our second quarter of 2026 with $321.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA was the single best quarterly result in AMC’s entire 106-year history.
With 71 million guests in our theatres, we also had the highest revenues in AMC history, and managed our costs well.
We have generated $228 million more EBITDA in the first half of 2026 than we did in the first half last year.
We finished the quarter with $778 million of cash on hand.
The best way to silence the critics and make the naysayers irrelevant is to produce undeniably good results, in this case for Q2 record results, and that is precisely what AMC has been doing throughout 2026.
To those Apes who stood by us along the way, and especially to those who are with us still, I am not exaggerating in saluting the role you all played in saving moviegoing and saving movie theatres and saving AMC.
Because of your support, your children and grandchildren should be able to continue to enjoy… in theatres… seeing dazzling images on our huge silver screens, just as people have done to their great delight for more than a century.
Toy Story 5 opens this Friday June 19 (with Thursday June 18 advance screenings) across AMC.
Will it be the biggest grossing movie of 2026 so far?
If it crosses $75 million it will be the 6th film to do so in 2026.
Many think it will top $131.7 million, thus posting the highest opening weekend domestic gross of any film released so far in 2026.
