The hits have been so numerous and coming so fast and furious this year. I was mistaken yesterday when I said Toy Story 5 would be the 6th different movie to have an opening weekend domestic gross above $75 million. It will be the 7th! Lucky number 7.
Toy Story 5 opens this Friday June 19 (with Thursday June 18 advance screenings) across AMC. Will it be the biggest grossing movie of 2026 so far? If it crosses $75 million it will be the 6th film to do so in 2026. Many think it will top $131.7 million, thus posting the highest opening weekend domestic gross of any film released so far in 2026.

I simply cannot wait to go to a movie theatre and see the newest creation by master storyteller Steven Spielberg. Everyone knows he is one of the greatest film makers of all time. “Disclosure Day” opens tomorrow at AMC.

AMC said today that we fully completed our $150 million equity raise, announced four months ago. It is particularly encouraging that the AMC share price has risen by more than 50% during this time, showing presumably that investors confidence in a resurgent Box Office outweighs fears about dilution. This is such good news for AMC Entertainment on all counts. This greatly bolsters our cash reserves. I’ve said it many times: Cash is King.

I was fortunate to be in Los Angeles to see the extraordinary Taylor Swift perform live Tuesday at the World Premiere of Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5. Playing her newest sensation: “I Knew It, I Knew You” which was written for this movie. Mark my words, Toy Story 5 will be a giant phenomenal smash hit. A truly charming triumph. Opens at AMC on June 19.

As it turns out, for Christopher Nolan‘s much awaited The Odyssey, AMC recorded our highest first-day ticket sales for any studio-released movie title since 2022. My apologies if you encountered a long ticketing line on the AMC web site and app yesterday. Fortunately, we still have MILLIONS more available seats for you to catch what is sure to be a global phenomenon. Ironically, the only first-day AMC ticket sales results since 2022 that topped The Odyssey were for our very own music-oriented projects from our own AMC Theatres Distribution, namely first-day ticket sales for the Renaissance concert film from Beyonce in 2023 and our two Taylor Swift efforts in 2023 and again in 2025. Other than our early sales for the Beyonce and Taylor projects, The Odyssey first-day dollars in hand outpaced those of the many hundreds of studio-released movies of the past four years.

One of AMC’s best associations has been ours with the one and only Taylor Swift. First, 2023’s The Eras Tour movie. Then, 2025’s The Official Release Party of a Showgirl event. And now, Taylor’s fans get her much awaited new original song in Toy Story 5. Opens at AMC on June 19.
It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠 You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and @Pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right? You can pre-order now exclusively at store.taylorswift.com and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

Our U.S. AMC Theatres and overseas Odeon Cinemas welcomed 25.5 million guests in May 2026. Our highest attendance for a month of May in 7 years, better than any May since pre-pandemic 2019. Isn’t that just wonderful! There are huge movies coming out in June and July too. “Backrooms” just crushed it at the box office this past weekend. It was the 6th movie in the past 10 weeks to have a domestic opening gross above $75 million.

Whoopee, huzzah. AMC and Odeon theatres attracted more than 5 million guests globally. Biggest domestic weekend of 2026 so far for AMC. The Mandalorian and Grogu was the FIFTH movie to open above $75 million domestically in the last two months. businesswire.com/news/home/2…

I will be sure to let Netflix know that if Messers Tarantino and Fincher need anyone for reshoots, I am available. If I were them, though, I certainly would stick instead with Oscar winner Brad Pitt. Cliff Booth returns to the big screens of AMC and IMAX at Thanksgiving.

The 5th major recent collaboration of AMC and Netflix. Reprising his Oscar winning role: Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth in a new film directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino. Coming to AMC’s IMAX theatres November 25 for an exclusive two-week theatrical run. It’s a Hollywood dream team. Pitt. Tarentino. Fincher. At AMC, we are so pleased to once again showcase in our theatres some of the extraordinary content offered by Netflix to its subscribers.

I have enormous confidence in AMC and the 2026/2027 box office. So today, using my own money, I bought 250,000 more AMC shares personally, at market price. I now own outright 2,437,020 AMC shares, raising the total where I have an economic interest to 12,322,429 AMC shares* It actually can be very hard for a CEO of a public company to buy shares. You have to clear having possession of any material non public information, sort out implications of any ongoing debt and equity transactions, and not be in a quiet period before when earnings will be announced. I was finally in a position to buy even more AMC shares today, and I did. As I said, I have great confidence in AMC’s future. So, again today, I put my money where my mouth is. This brings my holdings up to 12.3 million shares* of AMC common stock. My understanding is that I have been, and now even more so I remain, AMC’s biggest individual retail investor. I should probably mention that I have not sold even a single share of AMC stock since January of 2022, more than four years ago. I RIDE WITH YOU !!! —-/////—/////—- (*For precision: this includes AMC shares I already own, and those which previously have been granted to me as part of my annual compensation and which will vest based on length of service and at target levels of performance over the next thirty three months, on a pre-tax basis.)
