Forward guidance

AMC expects significantly improving operating results, beginning in Q4 2022 and continuing into 2023, driven by a strong movie slate and increased domestic box office projections.

Tailwinds

  • Attendance in July 2022 saw the highest number of guests visit AMC’s U.S. theatres since December of 2019.
  • Preliminary July food and beverage revenue numbers appear to be the biggest single-month figure at our U.S. theatres in our company’s entire 102-year history.
  • A strong movie slate is expected in Q4 2022, including HALLOWEEN ENDS, TICKET TO PARADISE, BLACK ADAM, ARMAGEDDON TIME, AMSTERDAM, A MAN CALLED OTTO, BABYLON, BLACK PANTHER sequel, SHAZAM sequel, and AVATAR sequel.
  • The movie slate for 2023 is expected to be strong.
  • Internal forecast is that the 2023 domestic box office will be billions of dollars larger than that of 2022.

Headwinds

  • There is a dearth of new big movie titles being released in August and September, so things will slow for several weeks.
  • Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, trends, uncertainties and other facts that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially.
  • Risks related to AMC’s ability to obtain additional liquidity.
  • The potential impact of AMC’s existing or potential lease defaults.
  • The impact of the COVID-19 virus on AMC, the motion picture exhibition industry, and the economy in general.
