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 !!!

My only tinfoil for @TheRoaringKitty returning to $AMC before $GME
The ONLY GREY colored emojis were:
1) the dog = $CHWY which Roaring Kitty revealed a position in
2) the American flag with a Music symbol and microphone over it… but another name for a microphone is Condenser
why overlap the emojis unless RK meant for us to interpret it as one?
A for America
M for Music
C for Condenser
= $AMC
Grey color between eyes = spot his next return?
The Kansas City shuffle:
$CHWY to $AMC to $GME
An open-market purchase by a sitting CEO using their own personal cash is universally tracked as one of the most definitive bullish signals a stock can get. $AMC bullish af
Lets take a step back.
This isn't dilution, or management, that causes a stock to flatline for over two years. The company has significantly reduced debt, box office is recovering, the narrative regarding streaming has changed.
What I see when I look at this chart is a stock price that has been suppressed, though various mechanisms, including but not limited to market maker short exemptions and typical 70% of more of trades occurring in dark pools. Which, as a company where at one point, the majority of shareholders were retail, shouldn't happen.
This is not rocket science. Retail trades in odd lots. Odd lots can be handled by lit exchanges. Dark pools are for large intuitional trades. When you see a large volume day where the price doesn't change and over 70% of the volume is in dark pools, its funds wash trading, or adjusting swaps, or what not. It's not retail.
So yeah, nothing in 5 years changed my mind about how the price has been manipulated. I'm now curious how long they can keep it from bursting out. Tik Toc John.
@PeterRHann1 this makes a lot of sense and explains the RC’s response in the interview.. he doesn’t care or have to worry about “finding the rest of the money”.. he just wants to pump his options..
Still more really good news.
What happened this weekend:
Devil Wears Prada 2 is a blockbuster success.
Actors union SAG-AFTRA reached a new multi-year deal with film producers. This follows a multi-year deal with the Writers Guild.
Labor peace for several years ahead.
@bigboyjuju@mpviper1989@TylerHODL17@eth_exy The pandemic nearly destroyed AMC—they lost $4.5B in 2020. But that was years ago. Now it’s about creating momentum: hype, liquidity, and timing through a snowball effect.
I know I’m just “the brother” of someone legendary—but I’ve been right a lot.
