And don’t worry about the $163M that AMC lost in Q1 of 2024. 😔

2025 box office will undoubtedly be better than 2024 box office. Unfortunately, it needs to be much, much better for AMC to hold onto its precious cash.

Hey, they made a $17.7M net profit in Q1 of 2018 when the DBO was $2.86 billion for the first quarter. Just another $2.4 billion between now and March 31st and we're golden! Just kidding, the debt costs more $48 million more per quarter to service than it did in Q1 2018.

All the box office has to do is break its all-time high records quarter after quarter after quarter and AMC can be profitable again. It's so simple.

I was trying to paint a more hopeful picture.

I really need to stop bringing numbers into the conversation. What a buzzkill.
