AMC Entertainment sees Q1 EPS (62c), consensus (79c)

Sees Q1 revenue roughly $951.4M, consensus $861.06M. Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment, commented, “As predicted, the box office in the first quarter was adversely impacted by the 2023 Hollywood writers and actors strikes. Nonetheless, AMC outperformed. AMC exceeded consensus estimates for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Income, and Diluted EPS. While we anticipate that the second quarter box office will continue to be affected by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, we are ebullient about the upcoming film slate, and we expect to see an increasingly strong box office as the year progresses.”
