AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (AMC - Free Report) is one of the largest theatrical exhibition companies in the U.S., Europe and globally with approximately 1,000 theaters and 11,000 screens across the globe. AMC now operates theaters in 15 countries and is the market leader in nine of those. The company is also an industry leader in innovation and operational excellence.
AMC Entertainment has been actively involved in the renovation and refurbishing of multiplexes through enhancements like reclining seats, improved food and beverages, dine-in theaters, and advanced sound and digital equipment.
