In the U.S., AMC sets Thanksgiving Holiday period records for attendance, admissions revenue, food and beverage revenue, and total revenue
AMC Theatres (NYSE:AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and in the world, today announced that several Company records were set during the five-day Thanksgiving holiday period, as millions of moviegoers in the United States made AMC a big part of their Thanksgiving holiday plans. In all, 8.8 million moviegoers attended a movie at AMC Theatres in the U.S. and ODEON Cinemas internationally during the Wednesday through Sunday Thanksgiving period.
In the United States, AMC set several new all-time attendance and revenue records, including:
Moviegoers were drawn to AMC and ODEON by several popular new films including the opening weekend of “Moana 2,” and strong holdovers from “Wicked,” “Gladiator II” and “Red One.”
AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron commented:
“This 5-day Thanksgiving period in 2024 was one for the ages. At AMC theatres in the United States and abroad, AMC welcomed more than 8 million moviegoers from Wednesday through Sunday. In the U.S., AMC shattered record after record for attendance, admissions revenue, food & beverage revenue and total revenue. Apparently, movie fans decided in droves that Thanksgiving dinner is made all the better when accompanied by some delicious AMC popcorn, an ice-cold Coca-Cola, and a great film to watch as showcased on AMC’s huge silver screens.”
Aron continued:
“We send special congratulations to our friends and partners at Disney on their massive success of ‘Moana 2.’ Our continued great appreciation also goes to Universal for ‘Wicked,’ Paramount for ‘Gladiator II,’ and MGM for ‘Red One.’ Beyond these blockbuster movies, there were so many appealing films – big, medium, and small – drawing great crowds to our cinemas this holiday period. To see so many movies continue to succeed in theatres worldwide is a win for AMC and our shareholders, for our studio partners, and most importantly for our moviegoing guests.”
