For the third time since Memorial Day weekend and the second time in two weeks, AMC sets another record for post-reopening weekend attendance in the United States, and globally, making this the busiest weekend since AMC theatres closed in March of 2020 due to the pandemic.

AMC’s U.S. theatres had more than 2.5 million moviegoers at is theatres, Thursday through Sunday. AMC’s international theatres in Europe and the Middle East had another more than 650,000 guests, bringing the total visitation for AMC this past weekend, Thursday through Sunday, to approximately 3.2 million people in total. Eight of the top 10 busiest theatres in the United States this weekend were AMC locations.

The industry box office was led by BLACK WIDOW, which opened to an estimated $80 million for its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, breaking the previous record, which was set by F9 just two weekends ago. Beyond the success of BLACK WIDOW, the other nine movies in the top 10 also posted meaningful ticket sales and helped give the industry its first $100-million plus domestic box office weekend since early 2020.
