  "account": "As the movie theater industry slowly recovered from the pandemic, AMC Entertainment (AMC), IMAX, and EPR Properties (EPR) emerged as unexpected beneficiaries. AMC's revenue surged 32% to $1.7 billion in the third quarter, while adjusted earnings reversed a year-ago loss. The theater chain now boasts 75 million visitors per quarter. IMAX stock has skyrocketed eight-fold since the pandemic began, with a 40% gain so far in 2023. Meanwhile, EPR Properties, a real estate investment trust specializing in experiential properties, collects more than a third of its annualized base rent from multiplexes, including AMC. Despite recent rate hikes, EPR has delivered a 20% return and a healthy 6.1% dividend, beating the market overall. As blockbuster films like Avengers, Frozen, Shrek, and Star Wars gear up for 2027, IMAX and EPR Properties stand to gain significantly from the resurgence of the multiplex experience.",
