Attendance in AMC theaters increased 38.4% to 73,576 in the third quarter.
Concert films by Taylor Swift and Beyonce are expected to benefit the company in the fourth quarter as several movies have been moved to the next year, CEO Adam Aron said on an earnings call.
"AMC is currently doing an excellent job of showing moviegoers and investors alike that it can fill a release slate with alternative content of various types if and when any release slate holes arise," Wedbush analysts said last Friday.
"For both revenue and adjusted EBITDA, these were AMC's most successful third-quarter results in our company's entire 103-year history," Aron added.
