AMC Q4 Attendance Falls 10% as Revenue Slips, Loss Narrows

Shares slipped after results that reflected a thin early‑quarter slate.

Overview

  • Attendance totaled 56.3 million for the quarter, down from 62.4 million a year earlier, as revenue edged down 1.4% to $1.288 billion.
  • Net loss came to roughly $127 million, with loss per share improving to 25 cents from 35 cents in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA reached about $134 million, trailing the year-ago period as operating leverage weakened on a softer slate.
  • AMC cited fewer tentpole releases early in the quarter, noted holiday titles lifted performance later, and reported record per‑patron admissions revenue alongside resilient food-and-beverage spending.
  • The stock fell about 3% to $1.16, with results topping Wall Street estimates, and management pointed to a potential 2026 box‑office recovery that coverage links to upcoming titles like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Scream 7, and Pixar’s Hoppers.
