AMC Entertainment

The largest movie-theater chain in the world, AMC Entertainment runs thousands of screens across the United States and Europe and traces its roots to 1920. Its business is simple to describe and hard to run: sell tickets, then make the real money on popcorn, soda, and concessions, where margins are far higher. That model lives and dies by the release calendar, so a strong slate of blockbusters can pack the seats while a thin or delayed one leaves theaters half-empty. The pandemic nearly bankrupted the company, and it survived by issuing enormous amounts of stock to a wave of retail traders who turned AMC into a meme-stock icon in 2021. That rescue diluted shareholders heavily and left a large debt pile behind. The stock now trades as much on crowd sentiment as on box-office receipts. Headquarters are in Leawood, Kansas.
