Whoopee, huzzah.
AMC and Odeon theatres attracted more than 5 million guests globally. Biggest domestic weekend of 2026 so far for AMC. The Mandalorian and Grogu was the FIFTH movie to open above $75 million domestically in the last two months.

Stitch visited an AMC Theatre — whom we were thrilled to welcome to interact with AMC guests. Just another example that at AMC, we make movies better!
Disney’s Lilo and Stitch opens May 23.
Here are the facts that some of you want to ignore or refuse to accept.
The industry-wide domestic box office in movie theatres was over $11 billion five years in a row pre-Covid. It was over $10 billion years eleven years in a row pre-Covid.
In 2024, four long and trying years after COVID, it was still only about $8.8 billion, down by more than 20% from full year 2019 levels (the last pre-Covid year).
When a high fixed cost industry like the movie theatre industry loses 20% of its revenues, its profits and cash balances plummet by far more.
Those are not AMC numbers, those are industry-wide numbers.
Some of you want to blame AMC results on market manipulation, management incompetence or other conspiratorial notions. The reality instead is that our industry has not fully recovered yet. It has taken far longer for movies to come back than most of us would have expected or hoped.
As a result, many of our major competitors had to file for bankruptcy. Not AMC. We navigated these uncharted waters with considerable skill.
But finally, here’s the bright side of all this.
As we have been saying for quite some time, after a slow start to 2025, the box office in the U.S. looks like it will show considerable growth. And the 2026 box office looks to be.even bigger still.
There is real operational leverage in our business. With revenues static, profits are greatly stressed. But with revenues rising, the profits rise even more so.
We are optimistic that a rising box office over the next year or two will be a great boon for AMC.
That does not solve all our issues, though, as it is not all wine and roses. There are challenges aplenty that we will have to deal with, and we are still going to need to thread the managerial needle perfectly going forward. We could succeed brilliantly or we could stumble. Only time will tell.
But our heads are very much in the game, and we are keenly focused on doing all we can to achieve success.

AMC is making news with our Go Plan. After Covid and Hollywood strikes had us on our heels, we are finally playing on offense again. Investing in initiatives that we expect will grow our bottom line. At a time when the overall box office looks like it will markedly grow.
@WestJet I exchanged my companion voucher for lounge passes.
If my spouse and I are on the same WestJet flight and we use the lounge does this mean two lounge passes are deducted? I thought I could bring a guest under one pass.
Thank you in advance.
@LOREXTECHNOLOGY
We’ve had the camera for about three years outside our home and we’ve never had any problems.
I even put dielectric grease around the USB plug to prevent moisture.
However today it stopped working and when I went to go reboot it I saw that fit is fried.
@WestJet I got docked twice for my spouse and I since we were in the same flight.
What number should I call? The original number provided only gets me to support and not the Rewaeds department.
@WestJet Hi hope your evening is well. I redeemed my companion voucher for a lounge voucher and when I recently used it for my wife and I it seems two vouchers were deducted. Are you able to confirm? TIA.
@TangerineBank Hi I received a promo offer for a credit card and it includes 0% interest for six months. Does this include balance transfers from existing credit lines or loans?
@WestJet Hi my flight has been rescheduled to tomorrow morning. In the WJ app I get an error message saying there is a technical difficulty and I have to call in. I’ve been on hold for hours. Any other way to choose a different flight? TIA.
@WestJet Hi, hope your day is well. I am a WJ RBC card member and I exchanged my benefits for lounge vouchers. Currently I’m in Narita airport and I got declined at the United lounge. Which lounge am I able to visit? TIA.
@WestJet So I’m a bit confused. Can my lounge voucher through my RBC credit card be used in Narita? I went to the lounge just now and they declined me:
Thanks
