B. Riley Lifts AMC Target to $2 on Stronger Box Office Trends

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC) is included among the Top 10 Reddit Stocks That Will Skyrocket.

On April 17, B. Riley raised its price recommendation on AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC) to $2 from $1.50. It reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares. Box office revenue across the industry climbed 22% year over year during the period. That came in stronger than expected. March releases did much of the heavy lifting, especially “Project Hail Mary.” Titles like “Scream 7” and “Hoppers” also added support, the analyst noted. For Q2, the firm expects modest growth. June should be stronger, but April and May look softer by comparison. There have also been some mixed revisions to key film assumptions.

On April 6, AMC Entertainment reported a record performance over the five-day Easter holiday weekend.

Between Wednesday, April 1, and Sunday, April 5, more than 6.0 million guests visited AMC locations in the US and ODEON Cinemas sites internationally.

This also turned out to be AMC’s strongest Wednesday-to-Sunday attendance stretch so far in 2026. A large part of that momentum came from the debut of THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE. The film delivered a reported global opening of about $372 million. Attendance was strong across AMC Theatres in the US and ODEON Cinemas abroad. The film’s broad, family-friendly appeal helped sustain traffic through the weekend, with families and younger audiences showing up in large numbers.
