Key Items To Watch: Among the key items investors will be watching are box office revenue and the impact of blockbuster movies during the quarter.

While all eyes in the movie theater sector have been on “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” which will be attributed to the third quarter for AMC, there were multiple blockbusters that were released in the second quarter.

Four of the top domestic grossing films of 2023 came out in the second quarter, including:

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (1st), April 5, $574.2 million

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (3rd), May 5, $380.1 million

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (4th), June 2, $359 million

The Little Mermaid (5th), May 26, $297.1 million

These blockbusters could lead to a strong quarter for box office revenue and concessions revenue for the company.

The Barbie Factor: Investors will be watching for commentary from AMC on how big of an impact “Barbie” could have on the third quarter, with the film recently passing a $1-billion box office gross globally.

As the largest owner of movie theaters, AMC could stand to be one of the biggest beneficiaries from the success of “Barbie” and box office growth. With that said, third quarter and full-year guidance could come into play for investors.

AMC previously said it saw its “best week ever” for admissions July 21 to July 27, led by “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.” The following week saw the company’s third best week for admissions since 2020.

“Barbie has crossed $1 billion in movie theatre ticket sales worldwide. Oppenheimer crossed a half billion dollars. The ‘movie theatres are dead’ prognosticators are Ducking Wrong! Quack, quack,” Aron tweeted.

AMC's Cash Runway: Outside the box office success and future impact of “Barbie,” investors may also be watching to hear an update on liquidity from AMC.

“If we are unable to raise equity capital, the risk materially increases of AMC conceivably running out of cash in 2024 or 2025,” Aron said in the letter.

AMC Price Action: AMC shares are trading at $5.18 Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $3.77 to $27.49. Shares of the movie theater company are up 32% year-to-date in 2023.
