The world’s largest cinema chain said revenue rose 31.6% from a year earlier, setting a record for the second quarter in a row.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey drove strong ticket sales, while revenue from admissions reached about $953 million.
Customers also spent more at concession stands, which brought in about $589 million.
AMC earned $109.3 million in net income, compared with a $298.2 million loss in the same quarter last year.
