AMC Theatres® (NYSE:AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in
the United States and the world, today announced that both
domestically and globally it achieved its busiest weekend of 2022,
Thursday, July 7 through Sunday July 10. Led by the opening weekend
of THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER, the box office was propelled by several
summer blockbuster titles, many of which have continued to perform
well for several weeks.
Domestically, AMC’s admissions revenue outperformed the same
weekend in 2019 by an estimated 14%. Adding in the Company’s
international theatres, global admissions revenue outpaced 2019 by

AMC saw strong performances from MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU, TOP GUN:
MAVERICK, JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION, ELVIS, and THE BLACK PHONE.
Adam Aron, AMC Chairman and CEO commented:
“We are just thrilled beyond thrilled that this weekend
approximately more than 5.9 million people were guests at AMC movie
theatres in the United States and internationally, making it our
highest attended and highest grossing weekend of 2022 so far. We
are even more excited that the weekend admissions revenue realized
at AMC and Odeon was approximately double that of the same weekend
last year, and 12% higher than the same weekend of 2019, before the
pandemic.”
Aron continued, “The box office results week after week after
week this summer have demonstrated what we at AMC have believed to
be true all along: consumers want to experience their movies
through the unrivaled experience of a movie theatre, with its big
screens, big sound and comfortable big seats. Our now busiest
weekend of 2022 was powered by several big movie titles all playing
simultaneously. Happily, the enduring resilience and consumer
appeal of theatrical exhibition are on full display.”
