AMC Stock: You Can See Everything
Another sleeper hit at the multiplex finds AMC closing in on its first profitable year since 2018.
AMC Entertainment, the nation's largest multiplex operator, is experiencing a resurgence in 2026. A24's documentary You Can See Everything, which follows disgraced CEO Elizabeth Holmes's final weeks, has been a surprising draw at the box office. The film opened with $15.7 million in domestic ticket sales over its opening weekend, setting records for non-musical documentaries in over two decades.
Despite only screening in 855 theaters, it was the highest-grossing opening for a film with fewer than 1,000 screens since 2008. As of the first quarter, AMC's revenue is projected to rise by 18% to reach $5.7 billion, with the theater chain generating positive adjusted earnings for the first time since 2018. Analysts predict the stock will continue its impressive 86% gain in 2026.
The year has seen a combination of blockbuster hits and sleeper hits, with several films projected to gross over $1 billion worldwide. AMC's comeback is attributed to a mix of high-quality films and an improved business model, including high-margin concessions and a loyalty program. While the stock remains down 99.2% from its 2025 peak, the improved fundamentals suggest this may be a more favorable time to invest.
