AMC Entertainment achieves highest single-week admissions revenue

AMC Theatres announced it achieved its highest single-week admissions revenue in the company’s entire 103-year history, during the Friday-Thursday film week, July 21-July 27. It was an admissions-revenue record for AMC‘s U.S. locations, as well as for all its theatres globally. AMC’s single-week admissions revenue record was driven primarily by the opening performances of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer”, which continued with their moviegoer demand throughout their first full week of release. Last weekend, July 20-23, was AMC’s busiest weekend since reopening theatres after their pandemic closures in 2020. Admissions revenues for the full week were not only the best since reopening, they also were the highest recorded admissions revenue for AMC in 103 years. During this past weekend, AMC had its third busiest weekend globally since theatres reopened from their pandemic closures in 2020. Admissions revenue was considerably more than double the admissions revenue for the same weekend last year. As part of AMC’s single-week admissions revenue record, 65 U.S. AMC locations set their own new single-week box office records. This includes 13 AMC locations in the greater Los Angeles market.
