AMC Entertainment Company Description
AMC Entertainment shines when the lights go down. The #2 movie theater chain in the US (behind Regal Entertainment), the company owns more than 300 theaters housing some 4,600 screens, most of which are in megaplexes (units with more than 14 screens and stadium seating). The majority of its theaters can be found throughout the US and Canada; about a dozen theaters are in China (Hong Kong), France, and the UK. The firm is part owner (more than 25%) of MovieTickets.com, along with Hollywood Media and rivals Cineplex and National Amusements, among others. The company bought rival Loews Cineplex in 2006, significantly boosting its holdings. AMC is controlled by J.P. Morgan Partners and Apollo Management.
