- AMC Theatres postponed the planned simulcast series featuring Bebe Rexha, Paris Hilton, Kim Petras, and Maren Morris.
- AMC cited a summer box office up more than 13% year‑over‑year, with over‑performing releases “Backrooms,” “Scary Movie,” and “Obsession,” and noted upcoming blockbusters like “Toy Story 5.”
- AMC said in a statement that domestic box office has met or exceeded expectations week after week in 2026, prompting programming adjustments in June.
- Arena One partnered with AMC on the AMC Girls Night Live series, and the simulcasts will be moved to later in 2026 with purchased tickets refunded.
- The original schedule had Bebe Rexha on June 17, Paris Hilton on June 18, Kim Petras on June 19, and Maren Morris on June 20.
- AMC indicated the postponed series is intended to help offset a weaker slate of films later in 2026.
Why it matters: AMC avoids a weak‑ticket‑sale period by shifting the concerts to a later date, preserving revenue from its strong summer film lineup while refunding tickets to fans. The move also lets AMC allocate screens to high‑performing movies, reinforcing its rebound after COVID‑era lows, while artists like Bebe Rexha and Paris Hilton must wait for a new rollout.
