AMC Entertainment says ‘MICHAEL’ delivers ‘record-breaking’ debut

AMC Entertainment (AMC) once again welcomed global audiences in significant numbers to its theaters across the U.S. and internationally, as MICHAEL moonwalked to the strongest biopic opening in box office history. These reported opening numbers for MICHAEL include Friday through Sunday attendance figures, along with its Wednesday and Thursday preview screenings. As a result of the media-reported $97M domestic and $217M global debut of MICHAEL, along with continued strong holdovers, more than 4M moviegoers attended films at AMC locations in the United States and at ODEON Cinemas internationally from Wednesday, April 22, through Sunday, April 26. This surge in attendance reinforced once again AMC’s leadership position at the center of major cultural moments in the United States and internationally.
