CIRCLE YOUR CALENDAR FOR APRIL 23, 2027. That’s when a movie I saw and absolutely loved comes to movie theatres. Family Movie. Directed by Kevin Bacon. Starring an actual family of Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick and their daughter Sosie Bacon and son Travis Bacon. They play a filmmaking family who while on the set of one of their extremely low-budget and cheesy slasher films surprisingly find themselves in a real-life horror movie. A body turns up forcing them to cover up the murder to keep filming. Family Movie is hilarious. I howled with laughter all throughout.

Today is Veteran’s Day, on which we honor all those who gave years of their lives to the military. Thank you for nobly serving. Since my followers on X/Twitter include movie buffs, what are your favorite movies depicting military action? I think mine are Tora! Tora! Tora!, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape and Bridge over The River Kwai. There are so many great ones to choose from.

On our earnings call this week, we were able to point to dramatic increases in AMC’s Adjusted EBITDA, that we are currently free cash flow positive, and that 97% of our debt maturities have been extended to 2031 and 2033. This means that we no longer need to talk about the trials and tribulations of the past six years. Instead, we will be focusing on all of the many growth opportunities and high IRR projects in our sights and which we can pursue to stimulate increases in free cash flow going forward. Welcome to the stress-free world of industry-leading and abundantly-recovered AMC Entertainment.

For the second quarter in a row, AMC Entertainment posted an all-time company record for Revenue and for Adjusted EBITDA, our biggest and best ever quarter financial results in 106 years. In Q3 2026, Revenues were up 32%. Adjusted EBITDA were up 184%, nearly triple last year’s third quarter. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the first 9 months of 2026 was $707 million, up an astounding $453 million versus the same timeframe last year. What a triumph for AMC. In recent years, where other key players in our industry collapsed, at AMC we repeatedly instead have talked about recovery. Today, we can finally say that AMC has recovered. To our studio partners, lenders, business partners, employees and our millions of passionate shareholders, thank you for standing with us as we traveled through a long, and at times brutal, road. Mere survival was never the goal. Our goal ultimately was to thrive, and that is exactly and precisely where our focus now lies. We are highly energized by the tremendous opportunities ahead. businesswire.com/news/home/2…
