Ending the second quarter on a bang not a wimper, the Domestic Box Office will be up by around 20% versus the same weekend last year.
The quarter should end at $3 billion industrywide, perhaps a hare under or over, clearly the highest q2 industry numbers since 2019.
Cumulatively, January 1 to June 30, the Domestic Box Office will be up about $600 million year over year.
With a strong July ahead of us, that number will grow even more soon.
Hello Minions, Moana, Odyssey and Spider-man.
Halllelujah.
Amazon MGM Studios and AMC Theatres have a massive hit with Ryan Gosling’s new Project Hail Mary. The highest grossing movie opening of 2026. More than $80 million domestically and $140 million globally. AMC‘s global ticket revenues up by more than a huge 70% year-over-year!
Project Hail Mary is only one of two non-franchise movies to gross over $80 million in the past decade, behind only Oppenheimer which opened in July of 2023.
It got a stunning 95% from critics, 96% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. This is a movie meant to be seen on a giant screen. Rush to an AMC theatre or Odeon cinema near you!
Big news. The highest praise for NBCUniversal Chairman Donna Langley and her team Pete Levinsohn and Jim Orr.

Exactly as AMC predicted, the theatrical box office has been roaring hot the past two months. Per https://t.co/ZhBAvPr7hy, here are the numbers which speak loudly.
April Domestic Industry Box Office
+103% year over year
May Domestic Industry Box Office
+77% year over year
Here are just some of the many appealing 2025 movies.
Our thoughts at AMC are that this will be a powerful year for the size of box office grosses — 2025 should be the biggest box office year since 2019.
May that prove to be so, which indeed would make this a Happy New Year.
I encourage you all to read our press release and listen to our quarterly comments, as tomorrow afternoon AMC Entertainment announces our 4th quarter results.
Candidly, there is a stunning amount of false information and opinion grounded neither in fact nor reality about AMC floating around X/Twitter.
The law limits what, when and how I can talk about AMC, but I will have a lot to say about AMC tomorrow.
America loves AMC’s We Make Movies Better ad campaign featuring Nicole Kidman. For years, we very proudly have played one of 4 of Nicole’s ad spots before every AMC movie screening EXCEPT movies starring Nicole Kidman herself. No one seems to remember why we made that exception.
And we got numerous inquiries why such an ad was not playing before Nicole’s new “delicious, spicy and daring” movie BABYGIRL.
Problem solved. We have made arrangements to show an iconic Nicole Kidman commercial before all movies at AMC, including starting tomorrow BABYGIRL.
Hey $AMC #AMC fam. If you thought this led to a dead end of Lambo’s and earthly junk, you were wrong. This was God’s way to bring you to him or back to him!
