Insights
The launch of XL at AMC represents a strategic move to capitalize on the growing consumer preference for premium viewing experiences. Following successful testing in Europe with positive feedback, this initiative targets a significant market opportunity. With plans for 200-250 U.S. locations long-term and 50-100 locations by 2025, AMC is creating a new revenue stream between standard screens and PLF offerings.
The standardization of "extra-large" screens with 4K laser projection and clear branding addresses a market gap, potentially driving higher ticket prices and increased attendance. The successful European pilot suggests strong consumer demand, while the programming flexibility for multiple blockbusters could optimize revenue during peak periods. This strategic expansion could help AMC maintain its competitive edge in the theatrical exhibition space.

AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron commented:
“During the last decade, we’ve seen an increasing number of moviegoers actively seek out the largest screens AMC has to offer when purchasing tickets. Through XL at AMC, not only do guests get to enjoy the magic of 4K laser projection on a huge screen, we’ve also made identifying these extra-large screens even more convenient for guests.”
