AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC): A Bull Case Theory

We came across a bullish thesis on AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. on Paradox’s Substack by Paradox Intelligence. In this article, we will summarize the bulls’ thesis on AMC. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.'s share was trading at $3.0000 as of September 22nd.

AMC Entertainment is well-positioned to benefit from the rumored Taylor Swift theatrical event tied to her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, with the potential to surpass the $93 million domestic debut of her Eras Tour film. As the world’s largest movie exhibition company, AMC operates roughly 900 theaters and 10,000 screens, offering movie screenings, concessions, and premium experiences through AMC, AMC Classic, and AMC Dine-In.

The company has invested in post-pandemic recovery through upgraded seating, expanded food and beverage options, and enhanced digital experiences, positioning it to capitalize on high-profile event films. The rumored Swift event, potentially running from October 3-5 as a concert film or documentary, leverages exclusivity and fan engagement, likely driving record-breaking opening weekend attendance and elevated per-viewer revenue. Historical precedent from the Eras Tour film suggests strong box office performance and ancillary revenue from concessions and merchandise, with AMC capturing the majority of the upside due to its scale and premium formats such as IMAX and Dolby Cinema.

Strategically, the event aligns with AMC’s focus on premium experiences, event programming, and digital amplification, potentially boosting margins and revenue. While uncertainties remain—including the event’s unconfirmed status, competition from streaming, AMC’s debt, and discretionary spending pressures—the alternative data and media buzz indicate a significant underappreciated opportunity in Q3.

If the event materializes, it could serve as a near-term catalyst for the stock, creating a compelling investment case with a high upside-to-risk profile for investors focused on event-driven theatrical releases. AMC’s size, operational expertise, and ability to monetize high-demand events position it as the primary beneficiary of this potential cultural phenomenon.

Previously we covered a bullish thesis on Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) by Margin of Sanity in May 2025, which highlighted the hidden value of Netflix’s content library, particularly older titles whose accounting treatment understates ongoing revenue potential. The company's stock price has appreciated approximately by 7.24% since our coverage. The thesis still stands as Netflix continues to monetize its intellectual property. Paradox Intelligence shares a similar perspective but emphasizes AMC Entertainment’s upside from event-driven theatrical releases like the rumored Taylor Swift cinematic event.
