Were you impressed by AMC‘s innovative efforts with Taylor Swift and Beyonce in 2023? AMC blazes new trails again. Billie Eilish will bring her new album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, to U.S. AMC Theatres next Thursday & Friday. An exclusive Listening Event, featuring Dolby Atmos sound.

I was going to give away free these “Gorilla Sofas” as special drawing prizes for my X/Twitter followers. But alas, they apparently are “digital only” concept sofas, and to my chagrin they do not yet exist in real life. What a shame, they’d look great in somebody’s living room!

If there is only one movie to see right now, it is The Fall Guy. I loved every minute of it. The chemistry on screen between Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt is movie making at its absolute best. And the endless stunts are incomparable! In our theaters right now.

Experience this special screening of KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES on Wed, May 8 at 7PM at 250+ IMAX, Dolby Cinema and Prime AMC U.S. theatres. See this stunning cinematic masterpiece from director Wes Ball, get a free APE mini poster. For Tickets: amctheatres.com/movies/kingdom…

Calling all of our Apes! At AMC’s theatres in the U.S., you can experience an early access screening of the new sure fire hit movie: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. In our ever so pleasing IMAX, Dolby Cinema and Prime auditoriums on Wednesday May 8 at 7 pm.

And the princess of the ball was our very own Nicole Kidman, the First Lady of AMC. What a uniquely talented and accomplished ambassador for AMC and Odeon!

It was a star studded night honoring Nicole’s distinguished Oscar winning career!

It was a privilege to walk the red carpet in Hollywood last week as AFI, the American Film Institute, gave its prestigious Life Achievement Award to Nicole Kidman. The gala black tie evening started with Morgan Freeman’s perfect homage to Nicole and AMC. youtu.be/1I1nWhhUElA?si…

Today, AMC previewed our first quarter 2024 earnings.

I am very pleased to relay to you that our financial results were stronger than consensus analysts estimates.

I will have much more to say on our May 8 earnings call.

Here is the press release:

CinemaCon 2024 newsflash: I'm more ebullient about the future of movies in movie theatres now than I've been in years. A key reason -- the masterful story tellers of Disney are back in all of their glory. What an extraordinary slate of movies Disney is bringing to the big screen!

The annual CinemaCon in Las Vegas showcases the many fabulous movies that will be released in 2024, 2025 and 2026. The coming movie slate is so big and so impressive. Among the sure smash hits is Universal's Wicked. Here is its ever so talented and brilliant Director John Chu.

Ahead of this week's annual CinemaCon conclave, I was in LA all last week with numerous major studio execs, as well very talented Directors and accomplished Producers. I am SO encouraged by the film slate for 2nd half '24 and all of '25 and '26. So many really big movies coming.

I continue to be one of AMC's largest shareholders with an economic interest in about 2 million owned or granted AMC shares. Other than to fund mandatory federal and state income tax withholdings, I have not sold even one AMC share since January of 2022. I ride with you.

Also on compensation: For 2024, I recommended to AMC's Board of Directors that my compensation be materially reduced given the pain being felt by our shareholders. We agreed my 'target' compensation will be 25% less than last year's target, and 50% less than last year's actual.

Our draft proxy shows I was awarded AMC stock in 2023 (that I can not sell any time soon) valued using SEC required methodology at $17.9 million. At yesterday's closing share price, it is actually worth $1,345,000. So my compensation -- valued presently -- was $16.5 million less.
