\nAMC Theatres is hoping to capitalize on this year\u2019s box office momentum. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe world\u2019s largest movie theater chain, which had been working to reduce its debt load, disclosed Thursday that it closed a $150 million at-the-market equity offering that it had launched in February.<\/p>\n

\n\tChief Adam Aron said that the move \u201cstrengthens our balance sheet, bolsters our cash reserves and provides additional flexibility to support our long-term strategic objectives.\u201d The exhibitor, which had soared as a memestock on the NYSE during the pandemic years, has seen its stock languish between $1.60 a share and $2.08 this year, but has been on a slight upswing.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn recent months, as domestic box office has shown surprising strength due to a combination of unexpected blockbusters (A24\u2019s Backrooms<\/em>, Focus\u2019 Obsession<\/em>) and sure-fire hits (Universal\u2019s Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/em>), this year is running 13 percent ahead of 2025, per a weekly tally from Rentrak. In May, AMC saw the most moviegoers head to its theaters, 25.5 million, since pre-pandemic May 2019, when Avengers: Endgame<\/em> unspooled on screens.<\/p>\n

\n\tTo that end, the theater chain is switching gears on one of its big initiatives that it unveiled timed to its last earnings report a month ago before the box office boost took the narrative. AMC says that it will postpone its plan to air live concerts of Bebe Rexha on June 17, Paris Hilton on June 18 and Maren Morris on June 20, which had been set at 300 AMC locations in 89 markets. The studios\u2019 product that had been hitting its screens appears to proving compelling enough that its keeping titles for longer runs. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWeek after week in 2026, the domestic box office performance has exceeded or met expectations. With a robust lineup of films and strong advance ticket sales in the weeks ahead, AMC is making some programming adjustments during the month of June,\u201d a theater rep stated on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

\n\tTo use Focus\u2019 Obsession<\/em> as an example, the Curry Barker horror pic dropped only 7 percent in its fourth weekend, after posting bigger receipts in its second and third weekends than its opening. Those sort of legs for a feature are rare (1982\u2019s E.T.: The Extraterrestrial<\/em> has been invoked as a comp on that front). <\/p>\n

\n\tThe move to postpone its foray into concerts is a notably one, given Aron had described the partnership as launching an \u201centirely new chapter in live entertainment while driving incremental attendance and revenue across our circuit.\u201d The initiative is also an effort to reduce its reliance on studio-driven products, so that if a big movie underperforms it can lean on a fanbase of a popular musical artist to turn out moviegoers to theaters. AMC benefited greatly in 2023 when it partnered with Taylor Swift for The Eras Tour<\/em>\u00a0feature, which grossed $261 million globally.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Thursday, the AMC CEO added of the debt-reduction move to raise capital, \u201cAs the theatrical exhibition industry continues to recover as evidenced by the surging box office of 2026, AMC remains focused on striving on all fronts to increase our Adjusted EBITDA, reduce financial leverage, enhance the guest experience, and create value for our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
