At its U.S. locations, AMC set a new
post-reopening single-day attendance record on Saturday; it was
AMC’s busiest day since July 2019
Guests showed up hungry to U.S. AMC locations
on Saturday; AMC recorded its second highest Food & Beverage
revenue day in the Company’s 103-year history, finishing behind
only the opening Saturday of AVENGERS: ENDGAME in May 2019
The opening weekend of BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER
were the primary drivers of AMC’s success this weekend, along with
the strong holdover performances of SOUND OF FREEDOM and MISSION:
IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE
The Barbenheimer phenomenon was in evidence:
Through Sunday evening, more than 87,000 AMC Stubs members booked
tickets to see BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER on the same day
The Barbie pink Corvette popcorn vessel proved
to be a huge hit with guests, as all supplies were essentially
fully sold out by Sunday
AMC Theatres® (NYSE:AMC & APE), the largest theatrical
exhibitor in the United States and the world, today announced it
set multiple post-reopening records, as the company recorded more
than 7.8 million moviegoers at an AMC in the U.S. or ODEON Cinemas
location internationally from Thursday to Sunday. This marks the
most attendance and admissions revenue in a single weekend since
2019, which by definition means the most since theatres reopened in
2020.
Theatres were packed all weekend long, as AMC set post-reopening
single-day attendance records on each of Friday, Saturday and
Sunday in the United States. Saturday also marked AMC’s realizing
its fifth highest single-day admissions ticket revenues recorded in
the U.S. in AMC’s 103-year history.
In addition to high ticket revenues, Saturday saw AMC enjoying
its second-highest ever food and beverage revenue day of all time,
coming in behind the opening-weekend Saturday of AVENGERS: ENDGAME
in May of 2019.
Of note, AMC’s Barbie Corvette collectable concession vessel was
of particular interest to guests, as that item essentially sold out
over the weekend.
The attendance was driven primarily by the opening weekend
success of BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER, both of which significantly
exceeded industry box office expectations. In the weeks leading up
to the opening, guests were highly engaged online about a
BARBIE-OPPENHEIMER double feature, which materialized in more than
87,000 AMC Stubs members booking tickets to see both movies on the
same day.
And while it was the top two films of the weekend that led the
charge at the box office, AMC’s attendance record was the result of
a much deeper box office, supported by the performance of titles
like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE and SOUND OF
FREEDOM, among others.
AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron commented:
“What a fabulous weekend for moviegoers at AMC’s movie theatres
in the U.S. and abroad. AMC sends an enormous thank you and
congratulations to Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and
the entire team at Warner Bros., and to Christopher Nolan and the
team at Universal Pictures. They’ve demonstrated that well-made,
well-marketed films that captivate audiences can open on the same
weekend and both enjoy great success. That success extends beyond
just those two films. AMC would not have set its post-reopening
attendance record without the on-going solid performances of
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE and SOUND OF
FREEDOM.”
