AMC Theatres

The chain is notable for its significant market position, achieved in part through major acquisitions such as Odeon Cinemas and Carmike Cinemas in 2016. This expansion solidified its status as the global industry leader, with a vast network that includes 7,755 screens in the U.S. and 2,807 screens in Europe.

Recently, AMC Theatres has been in the news due to its financial performance and customer relations. Multiple reports from late 2025 indicate the company faced a significant financial loss in the third quarter, despite implementing price hikes on tickets. These reports also highlight concerns over declining ticket sales and a major customer problem, suggesting operational challenges.

In contrast to these financial headlines, the chain has also been featured for hosting special events, such as a one-night-only live concert broadcast by the band Dream Theater. This indicates the company's ongoing efforts to diversify its offerings beyond traditional film screenings to attract audiences.
