3 New Signs AMC Stock Will Continue to Skyrocket
AMC stock just soared past 26% on Monday following an exciting Q2 earnings report and record revenue.
The company delivered its highest quarterly revenue and adjusted EBITDA in its 106-year history.
Those of you who remember AMC stock during the ‘meme stock’ frenzy of 21′ are seeing very different media reporting now that the company’s fundamentals have begun to do a complete 180.
AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) also just attracted more than 4.3 million moviegoers worldwide as The Odyssey delivered the biggest opening weekend for an R-rated film across the U.S. since 2024, according to BusinessWire.
This recent development has further fueled the momentum AMC Entertainment (and its stock) has been building.
AMC stock is currently trading at $2.46, up nearly 53% this year-to-date.
What’s exciting for the movie theatre company is that there are several signs showing AMC’s share price will continue to skyrocket.
For example, the box office is thriving.
Earlier, AMC reported 25.5 million global guests in 2026/05, its best May since 2019.
“That is not a one‑day meme spike; it is a full month of pre‑pandemic‑style traffic across AMC Theatres in the U.S. and its ODEON circuit overseas.
For a high‑fixed‑cost business like AMC, that kind of volume is what flips the script on the income statement,” said Tim Sykes.
Films like Toy Story 5 had the biggest domestic opening weekend gross of any movie so far in 2026, with media reporting $160 million.
THE ODYSSEY becomes the second film title in the past five weeks to have a domestic opening weekend gross considerably above $100 million, and the eighth film since late March to open above $75 million domestically.
For massive Marvel fans, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a huge, anticipated film coming out on July 31st.
AMC CEO Shares Optimism on Record Breaking Developments
AMC CEO Adam Aron has shared several optimistic posts and comments regarding the movie theatre’s latest breaking developments.
“For the past several days, THE ODYSSEY has been at the center of the pop culture conversation across both the United States and Europe, once again demonstrating how deeply movie theatres are woven into the fabric of society.
THE ODYSSEY is an absolute triumph of a film that demands to be experienced on the biggest screens with the best sound and most comfortable seats.
We congratulate Universal Pictures, Christopher Nolan and everyone involved in bringing this remarkable epic to audiences.
We also thank the millions of moviegoers choosing AMC Theatres and ODEON Cinemas this weekend, who helped make THE ODYSSEY’s opening such a tremendous and resounding success.”
What excited shareholders was his mention of continued growth and momentum just last month in June, stating, “With so many major releases coming to theatres across the entire summer, and especially so in July (led by Minions & Monsters, Moana, The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day), we have every confidence to expect that our momentum will continue.”
Bullish Technical Analysis Signals (AMC Stock)
With AMC nearing the $3 per share mark, it’s $3.15 level will be an important one to keep an eye on according to TradingView.
“For example, the Average Directional Index (ADX) has jumped to 41, its highest point since May 1 this year. It has also jumped above the key resistance level of $1.93, its highest point on April 17.
Therefore, the most likely AMC stock forecast is bullish, with the next level to watch being at $3.15, its highest level in October last year.”
They warned, “a drop below the key support level of $1.93 will invalidate the bullish view.”
Buying pressure from retail investors is key here.
AMC’s trading volume on Monday soared to 181,884,068 from an average trading volume of 38,876,095.
If this volume continues to multiply, we might just begin to see signs of another AMC short squeeze.
Another bullish indicator was the recent purchase of 250,000 shares of AMC stock by CEO Adam Aron.
“I have enormous confidence in AMC and the 2026/2027 box office. So today, using my own money, I bought 250,000 more AMC shares personally, at market price,” Aron said back in May.
“As I said, I have great confidence in AMC’s future. So, again today, I put my money where my mouth is.
I should probably mention that I have not sold even a single share of AMC stock since January of 2022, more than four years ago.
I RIDE WITH YOU[!!!].”
