On Monday morning, AMC Entertainment reported strong second-quarter earnings, as the last of the major domestic exhibitors to report strong Q2 earnings. The company enjoyed significant year-over-year increases in both revenue and income, based on a significant increase in attendance during the quarter to see blockbusters including A MINECRAFT MOVIE, SINNERS, and LILO & STITCH.
These positive results enabled CEO Adam Aron to demonstrate progress in addressing lingering debt concerns and project an overall optimistic outlook for the future.
AMC reported revenue of $1.4 billion, a 35% increase from last year. This increase was driven by a 26% increase in ticket sales and a record-setting “per-cap” figure, the amount each customer spends when visiting the theatre. On average, each AMC customer in the second quarter spent $22.26 per visit.
As with other exhibitors, AMC has been pushing hard to sell both concessions and collectible items to drive up these per-cap levels. Aron also forecasted “continued growth and momentum” throughout 2026, with gains in revenue and profitability.
