AMC Theatres Posts Best Admissions-Revenue Week in the Company’s 103 Year History

AMC Theatres announced its ‘best week ever’, achieving the highest single-week admissions revenue in the company’s entire 103-year history, during the Friday-Thursday film week from July 21st to July 27th. AMC’s single-week admissions revenue record was driven primarily by the opening performances of Barbie and Oppenheimer, which continued with strong moviegoer demand throughout their first full week of release. The previous weekend marked AMC’s busiest since reopening theaters after their pandemic closure in 2020. AMC also had its third busiest weekend globally since theaters reopened, with admissions revenue 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, including 13 AMC locations in the greater Los Angeles market. 

Regarding the record-setting week, Adam Aron, chairman and chief executive officer of AMC commented, “The monumental success of Barbie and Oppenheimer has the entire movie and movie theater industry abuzz, with discussions of new records and new benchmarks being realized seemingly wherever you turn. These two movies, along with the many others playing on our huge silver screens, continue to rewrite what is possible at the box office. At AMC, we are thrilled to add our own new all-time records into that conversation. Achieving the most admissions revenue in a single week in AMC’s storied 103-year history is a testament to the moviegoing audience, who has demonstrated once again that they are ready, willing, and eager to come out to movie theaters in huge numbers. Thank you to our guests for choosing AMC Theatres in the U.S. and Odeon Cinemas abroad.”

Aron continued, “Our appreciation extends to so many of our friends in Hollywood for releasing all the many hit movies that have graced our theaters, especially over the past few months. The gratitude we feel for studios, film makers, cast and crew is heartfelt and genuine. Their creativity and determination to entertain, enlighten, inform and amuse audiences, combined with our industry’s commitment to operate first class theaters, is why in our opinion moviegoing, in theaters, will play a central role in the cultural fabric the world over for decades and decades to come.”
