- AMC announced a partnership with Arena One to launch a live‑concert series, “Arena One at AMC,” simulcast across its theaters starting in June.
- Arena One will deliver the concerts using “innovative interactive technology” that aims to replicate arena ambience with real‑time crowd buzz and reactions.
- Bebe Rexha will be the first performer, with a live simulcast on June 17 at more than 300 AMC locations nationwide.
- Paris Hilton will follow with a live show on June 18, also shown in over 300 U.S. theaters.
- Kim Petras is slated to perform on June 19, part of the launch lineup.
- Maren Morris will close the debut series on June 20.
- AMC priced the one‑night events at $40–$75 (plus taxes/fees), which is lower than typical concert tickets that often exceed $140.
Why it matters: Fans can attend live concerts at a fraction of traditional ticket prices, while AMC taps a new revenue stream to offset post‑pandemic box‑office declines and reduced film releases. The lower‑priced theater events could shift some demand away from conventional venues, reshaping concert‑ticket economics.
