Shares of AMC Entertainment gained 3% Monday after the movie theater chain reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter results.
The stock was up as much as 11% in intraday trading following the company’s earnings report before the bell.
AMC posted revenue of nearly $1.4 billion, up about 35% year over year and topping the $1.35 billion Wall Street estimate, according to LSEG.
AMC reported a net loss of $4.7 million, or just 1 cent per share, notably narrower than the loss of $32.8 million, or 10 cents per share, the company reported in the second quarter of 2024.
On an adjusted, per-share basis, AMC reported breaking even. Wall Street analysts had expected AMC to report an adjusted loss per share of 8 cents, per LSEG.
AMC also said it saw a 26% increase in moviegoers’ attendance compared to last year.
CEO Adam Aron said the company’s results are indicative of a “recovering industry-wide box office” after previously struggling to pare losses amid dual writers’ and actors’ strikes and an overall post-pandemic decline in movie attendance.
The company is also navigating a significant debt load.
“We’ve now addressed all of our 2026 debt maturities pushing them out to 2029,” Aron said. “In so doing, we have put in place a solid foundation to capitalize on what we believe will be our industry’s continued growth momentum, especially evident in the fourth quarter of 2025 and continuing deep into 2026.”
Aron also said the company saw consolidated admissions revenue per patron topping $12 for “the first time ever,” with total consolidated revenue per patron reaching an “unprecedented” $22.26.
The company reported significant growth in its premium offerings, including its AMC Go Plan, with premium auditoriums operating at nearly three times the occupancy of regular auditoriums.
“The combination of a resurgent box office, our unparalleled theatre footprint with premium experiences galore, our compelling marketing programs and our increasing financial strength have a flywheel impact when they all are happening simultaneously,” Aron said.
Correction: This story has been updated to correct that AMC reported second-quarter revenue of nearly $1.4 billion. A previous version misstated the amount.

Why New Zealand Is Relaxing Its Property Rules for Rich Foreigners

In April, New Zealand’s government found itself in a bind. It had just relaunched its golden visa program, offering wealthy foreigners residency in exchange for a minimum NZ$5 million ($3 million) investment. But there was a major hitch: existing laws prevented those investors from buying a home to live in — undercutting one of the main draws of relocating.
