Although the AMC group has several serious competitors in its sector of activity, it also has its strategic allies that you should know. Here are two recent examples of partnerships set up by the group in recent years.
The group has been partners with the giant screen cinema specialist Imax for several years and has just extended its revenue-sharing agreement in 2020 with the addition of between 8 and 18 new Imax theaters in the United States. AMC is already Imax's most important cinema partner and the chain currently has nearly 125 Imax giant screens. This new partnership should increase the number of Imax theaters in AMC cinemas to 138 or 148. In fact, only 8 new theatres have been confirmed so far under this agreement and will be located in the states of North Carolina, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois and California.
Also recently, the group signed an agreement with Universal to broadcast the studio's films on its numerous screens throughout the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Relations between the circuit and the studio had deteriorated after the PVOD launch of Trolls 2 which had led AMC to abandon release plans for all future Universal films.
While part of AMC's capital is floating capital, certain large shareholders remain in the majority with significant voting rights. These include Franklin Advisers with 23.4% of the shares, The Vanguard Group with 9.29%, Greenvale Capital LLP with 6.29%, Dimensional Fund Advisors with 5.94%, Mittleman Investment Management with 5.23%, Janus Capital Management with 4.29%, GMT Capital with 3.53%, Victory Capital Management with 3.43% of the shares, Canyon Capital Advisors with 3.20% and SEB Investment Management with 3.03%.
The history of the AMC group began in 1920 with the creation of a single-screen movie theatre in Misouri, Kansas City, by a former traveling artist, Edward Durwood. While at that time, American vaudevilles were in full decline, he converted to films in which he spotted a future opportunity in the world of entertainment. However, this small, one-screen cinema chain ended up with mixed success. Ultimately, it was his son who developed the company and gave it the name of American Multi-Cinema, AMC.
