“Our quarter-ending liquidity as of September 30, 2021, of more than $1.8 billion, including cash and our undrawn revolving credit lines remains at near-record levels, and also gives us comfort,” CEO Adam Aron said in a statement.
“One can see and feel that our industry and our company are on a path of recovery and improvement“, he went on to say “we are not yet where we want and need to be.”
“The virus continues to be with us, we need to sell more tickets in future quarters than we did in the most recent quarter, and Adjusted EBITDA is still well below pre-pandemic levels,” he said.

On Monday, AMC announced it will team with Disney “to bring four fan favorite movies back to the big screen” from November 12-14 at more than 200 theater locations in the US.
In August, CEO Aron said AMC’s theater level cash flows will turn positive in Q-4 of this yr, assuming domestic box office ticket sales can hit $5-B for Y 2021.
