LEAWOOD, Kan., November 01, 2021--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In light of repeated press inquiries, AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) today issued the following statement:
"When the final tickets are counted for showtimes tonight, the domestic industry box office for October 2021 is estimated to come in considerably higher than that of any previous month since February of 2020.
