AMC Theatres Postpones Concert Simulcasts Due to Strong Summer Box Office
By

Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
AMC Theatres is postponing its planned simulcast concert series featuring Bebe Rexha, Paris Hilton, Kim Petras, and Maren Morris. The decision comes as the cinema chain experiences stronger-than-expected box office performance in summer 2026, with films like "Backrooms," "Scary Movie," and "Obsession" over-performing and major releases like "Toy Story 5" on the horizon. AMC cited a robust film lineup and strong advance ticket sales as reasons for the postponement.
