I know from my own losses and in reading your comments on X/Twitter how distraught many of you are with falling share prices. In looking at the likely 2026 industry-wide Box Office, we still expect it to grow materially over 2025 and if so that inexorably would significantly increase AMC’s EBITDA. However, the external macro backdrop around us is terrible. War in the Middle East, world oil prices soaring above $100 per barrel and other concerns have knocked the Dow Jones average to its lowest point in five months and the S&P 500 to its lowest point in four months. As for AMC, I am optimistic about our power to increase our earnings this year over last year. As for the state of the world, we will all read the news together. Naturally, we all can wish for the best on global developments.

I cannot say enough good things about Donna Langley’s leadership of Universal. First and foremost, she is a superb film maker. Add to that her grace, business acumen and courage in making important decisions that have real ramifications supporting the entire movie ecosystem.

Big news. The highest praise for NBCUniversal Chairman Donna Langley and her team Pete Levinsohn and Jim Orr. Giving us hits like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (opening April 1). AND Universal is significantly lengthening the time that movies will stay exclusively in theatres.

Today Tuesday March 10 marks AMC’s third grand collaboration with Netflix in the past few months. We will show at 50 of our U.S. theatres the first two episodes of season 2 of ONE PIECE: INTO THE GRAND LINE. A 1-night only fan event. May there be many more such joint efforts.

AMC announced this afternoon receiving a commitment letter from Deutsche Bank to finance new AMC 10.5% debt due in 2031. If consummated, it would be used to pay off 12.75% debt on our Odeon subsidiary currently due in 2027. Full press release here: investor.amctheatres.com/news-events/pr…

See what everyone can’t stop talking about 🦫 #Hoppers arrives in theaters this Friday!

Congratulations Disney. The latest Pixar film is earning rave reviews from critics. Opening this Friday March 6. It features a cast of voice actors including Dave Franco, Jon Hamm and Meryl Streep. A near-perfect critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, currently of 97 percent !!!

This glorious and romantic Josh Groban concert movie was just filmed in London and is an exclusive “Only at AMC” event in the United States. See Josh Groban: An Intimate Evening at the Union Chapel. This Valentine’s Day Weekend.

Yesterday’s Super Bowl featured a mesmerizing ad for Ryan Gosling’s new movie Project Hail Mary. From Amazon MGM. It looks terrific. Especially on AMC’s giant screens.

I am hearing great buzz about Margot Robbie’s new movie Wuthering Heights. It is billed as “The Greatest Love Story of All Time.” Opens this Valentine’s Day at AMC.

Starting tomorrow Friday February 6, the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina, Italy — and thanks to NBC also on the giant screens of AMC Theatres. Don’t miss the thrill and drama of the best human competition the world has to offer. At an AMC theatre near you.

The correct answer is that on average AMC and Odeon sell about a dozen TONS of popcorn per DAY in our theatres. That is a lot of popcorn.

We took so much derision in 2022 when we invested $28 million in Hycroft Minimg. Investing in a gold and silver mine, they scoffed! Today our total Hycroft holdings (including the cash from our November sale), are worth about $72 million. He who laughs last, laughs best.

I fondly remember that day a few years back that I flew to Midwest cornfields to personally inspect the high quality corn that we proudly purchase to truly delight moviegoers.

Yesterday, on the MLK Monday holiday, AMC celebrated the profound legacy of Dr. King of course, but also National Popcorn Day. We sell so much popcorn. Guess approximately how much? (In pounds of unpopped corn kernels at AMC Theatres and Odeon Cinemas.)

We are delighted that soon we will be showing on our giant screens in more than 150 AMC Theatres across the US daily NBC broadcasts of premier Olympic competition from the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Starting February 6 running through February 22. With unique and unforgettable scenic backdrops throughout northern Italy, the 2026 Winter Olympics will span from Milan to Cortina with events taking place across multiple venues and regions… and thanks to NBC also at AMC Theatres !!!!!

An Important AMC Message For You to Think About As Last Year Concludes And a New Year Begins

AMC Theatres Declares Netflix’s Stranger Things Series Finale Theatrical Event a Triumph; More Joint Netflix-AMC Cooperation Envisioned in 2026 and Beyond   Leawood, Kan. (January 2, 2026) — Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC), the world's largest theatrical exhibitor, issued the following statement today:   “A few months ago, we announced that in September of 2025, a high-level dialogue between AMC and Netflix led to both companies pledging to explore ways to visibly begin working together.     This led quickly to AMC showing, in many of its theatres, a Halloween bring-back of Netflix's immensely popular KPop Demon Hunters. It was quite the success. AMC was responsible for more than 35% of all the attendance for KPop Demon Hunters that holiday weekend. So, the two companies immediately turned their focus to what would come next in their mutual cooperation.   That next effort took place on the just-completed New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, when AMC showed, in 231 of its U.S. theatres, the multi-hour cultural phenomenon of the series finale for Netflix's much-acclaimed Stranger Things. This unprecedented theatrical event was nothing less than an absolute triumph.   In addition to the countless millions of people who will enjoy Stranger Things on the Netflix streaming platform, in just two days, more than 753,000 Stranger Things fans flocked to an AMC Theatre to personally join in the celebration. AMC had slightly more than one-third of the total theatre count showing the Stranger Things series finale, and AMC estimates that more than half of all Stranger Things fans who saw the series finale in a movie theater did so at an AMC.     Consumer demand was so high that AMC repeatedly and exponentially added thousands of additional showtimes across its participating locations. In the end, AMC had more than nine times the available seating capacity allocated to Stranger Things than was originally envisioned. The admissions price was free, but required the mandatory purchase of a $20 per-person food and beverage credit. As a result, AMC collected more than $15.0 million in just two days from Stranger Things showtimes.     At AMC, our company is excited about the prospect of taking more Netflix content to theatre goers, and I might add that the working relationship between the two companies in our two recent projects has been easy, creative, and seamless. It should come as no surprise then that our two companies already have actively commenced discussing what additional Netflix programming can be shown on AMC's giant screens.   I have every confidence that more enticing joint projects will emerge for Netflix and AMC in 2026 and beyond, all the while with AMC respecting its obligations to treat its many studio partners in an even-handed manner.   In our view, it especially makes sense to do so because so many of AMC's guests already are mutual customers of both Netflix and AMC. Indeed, in the United States, of the millions of members of the AMC Stubs loyalty program, approximately 2/3 of them report that they also are Netflix subscribers. Both in what we just experienced with KPop Demon Hunters and Stranger Things, and in what also will be coming in the months and years ahead, AMC remains committed to seeking mutually beneficial opportunities to join Netflix's award-winning content with the superb theatrical experience offered day in and day out by AMC Theatres."
