posted a more than 15% fall in fourth-quarter revenue on Tuesday and said box office is yet to return to pre-pandemic norms, sending its shares down 9% in after-hours trading.
Movie theaters, which were shuttered during pandemic-related lockdowns, are struggling to draw in crowds as rising costs have made people spend more on groceries, rent and gas, while reducing spending on out-of-home entertainment. "As we have been saying for a long time, the industry-wide box office will not return to pre-pandemic norms before 2024 or 2025 at the earliest," AMC Chief Executive Adam Aron said in a statement.The company's fourth-quarter net loss widened despite box office hits such as James Cameron's "Avatar: The Way of Water" and Disney's Marvel superhero film "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever".
