All 15 of the Top 15 Grossing Movie Theatres in the United States This Past Weekend Were AMC Theatres®

It’s the first time in theatrical exhibition history that a single exhibitor has held the top 15 weekend box office grossing locations in the United States

LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- For the first time in theatrical exhibition history, a single exhibitor, AMC Theatres® (NYSE: AMC), held all of the top 15 weekend box office grossing locations in the United States. AMC’s dedication to enhancing the guest experience at its theatres through AMC Signature recliner seating, a growing number of premium large format screens and improved food and beverage offerings is clearly working. Additionally, the growing popularity of AMC Stubs and AMC Stubs A-List have helped drive the most recent weekend box office totals.

The common denominators among the top 15 AMC locations? All 15 are located in large markets like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, San Diego and Washington D.C., and all 15 participate in the popular AMC Stubs and AMC Stubs A-List programs, which now boast more than 18.6 million and 700,000 members nationwide respectively. In addition, 14 of the top 15 locations offer at least one auditorium with all recliner seating. Premium experiences played their part as well, as 14 of the 15 offer either IMAX at AMC or Dolby Cinema at AMC, and 12 of the 15 locations offer both.

AMC CEO and President Adam Aron commented, “We are proud that AMC constituted all 15 of the top 15 grossing movie theatres at the U.S. box office this past weekend for the first time in industry history. It’s another proof point that our attendance-driving strategies continue to show positive results.”
