Shares of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC) are trading lower by 12.2% to $3.53 during Wednesday's session, giving back gains from Tuesday despite a lack of company-specific news. The pullback comes after a notable surge sparked by record-setting Memorial Day weekend results.
What To Know: On Tuesday, AMC reported that over seven million moviegoers attended its theaters in the U.S. and internationally from Thursday through Monday, making it the company's most-attended five-day stretch in 2025.
The strong turnout, fueled by the successful releases of Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning, helped AMC achieve its third-highest five-day revenue total in more than a decade.
Domestically, AMC posted its highest-attended Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the year. The company also recorded its best five-day food and beverage revenue of the decade, and second-best in its history.
CEO Adam Aron highlighted growing momentum in the theatrical industry, noting that the weekend's performance signals renewed consumer enthusiasm for moviegoing.
Despite the positive results and bullish commentary from leadership, Wednesday's trading reflects investor caution, potentially suggesting profit-taking may be influencing the stock's retreat.
