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 !!!

(*For precision: this includes AMC shares I already own, and those which previously have been granted to me as part of my annual compensation and which will vest based on length of service and at target levels of performance over the next thirty three months, on a pre-tax basis.)
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.
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.

Breaking: The Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT system) recorded an astonishing 34,372,776,364 (that's BILLION) stock market errors over a four-day span in November.
And December started off with a bang with 2.1B equities errors flagged on Dec. 1.
What the heck is going on?
Kind of weird how the price of #AMC flatlined like no other time or stock in history after certain characters conspired to rig the stock market and lied under oath to the congressional meme stock committee who is now also part of the conspiracy.
Are they too big for RICO @FBI
