In a joint interview with Boxoffice Pro, Celluloid Junkie spoke with Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Theatres, at CinemaCon 2024. We get an update on AMC’s fleet of theaters, future investments, potential plans for expansion as well as the company’s film distribution initiatives.

Regarding the latter, AMC Theatres appears to be taking its shift into distribution quite seriously, hiring on Stephanie Terifay as Vice President of Distribution. This strategic move comes on the heels of AMC’s successful foray into distributing concert films, including the record-breaking “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour” and Beyoncé’s “Renaissance.”

In her new role, Terifay will be responsible for working with the music industry to develop future projects and crafting distribution strategies and marketing plans to reach out to fans. Terifay joins the cinema operator from Fandango, where she led the integrated marketing team and worked closely with Hollywood studios, independent distributors, exhibitors, and brand partners.
