Wall Street analysts predict a loss per share of 25 cents for AMC's forthcoming Q3 financial results, with factors like rising sanitation costs eating into earnings, though these have recovered significantly since the pandemic devastated the film industry.

"With Zoom and AMC's collaboration, we now have the best of both worlds — Zoom's spectacular communications platform blended with the comfort, size, scale, and state-of-the-art sight and sound functionality of AMC's centrally located theatres," said Adam Aron, Chairman, and CEO of AMC Theatres. "This creates an entirely new product for companies and meeting planners in major cities across the United States."
