AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and the world, today announced that it delivered its busiest weekend of 2026 so far at its U.S. theatres, as Disney and Pixar’s TOY STORY 5 opened to a media-reported $160 million domestic debut, the biggest opening weekend box office performance of the year.
From Thursday through Sunday, more than 4.8 million moviegoers attended AMC Theatres locations in the United States and ODEON Cinemas internationally. Driven by the extraordinary debut of TOY STORY 5 and continued strong performances from multiple holdover titles, AMC recorded its highest weekend admissions revenue, food & beverage revenue, and attendance levels of 2026 to date at its U.S. theatres. AMC’s U.S. food & beverage revenue was its highest during a weekend in more than a year.
In addition to the exceptional launch of TOY STORY 5, AMC’s results were bolstered by strong ongoing audience demand for OBSESSION, BACKROOMS, and DISCLOSURE DAY, among several other films currently playing in theatres.
“The sustained strength of these films,” according to this morning’s news release, “helped create one of the most robust overall theatrical lineups of the year and continued the strong momentum moviegoing has enjoyed throughout the summer season.”
AMC shares picked up half a cent to $2.84.
