AMC Theatres posts its biggest quarter ever: $1.71 billion

Hollywood's blockbusters filled the seats and the bank account. AMC Theatres, the world's largest cinema chain, reported total revenue of $1.71 billion for the three months ended Sept. 30, up 31.6% from $1.30 billion a year earlier, Variety reports. It is the biggest quarterly sales haul in the company's history, fueled by "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "The Odyssey." The previous record, $1.60 billion, was set only in the second quarter of 2026, led by "Project Hail Mary" and "Michael." Before this year's rebound, AMC's high-water mark dated back to 2019, when "Avengers: Endgame" shattered box office expectations. Big films, big quarter: AMC just posted its best three months ever.
