Senior secured notes are loans a company sells to investors that are backed by specific assets and given first priority for repayment if the company defaults. Because they have a claim on collateral and are paid before other debts, they usually offer lower risk and correspondingly lower interest than unsecured debt; investors use them to judge how safe repayment and recovery of principal might be, like holding a mortgage instead of an unsecured credit card balance.
original issue discountfinancial
Original issue discount (OID) is the difference between a debt security’s face value and the lower price at which it is first sold, treated as additional interest that accrues over the life of the instrument. For investors it matters because OID raises the effective yield and changes taxable income and the holding’s cost basis over time — think of buying a $100 voucher for $90 and recognizing the $10 gain as earned interest as the voucher approaches maturity.
shelf registration statementregulatory
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.
prospectus supplementregulatory
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
at-the-market offeringsfinancial
An at-the-market offering is a method for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly into the stock market over time, rather than all at once. This approach allows the company to raise money gradually, similar to selling small portions of a product as demand grows. For investors, it can influence stock availability and price, making it an important factor to consider when assessing a company's financial strategy.
block tradesfinancial
A block trade is a single, large buy or sell of shares or bonds arranged privately between big traders rather than piecemeal on the public market. Think of it like buying a whole shipment at once instead of many small shopping trips; it lets large holders move big positions with less immediate disruption but can signal strong buying or selling pressure and cause price swings once the trade is known, so investors watch block trades for clues about market sentiment and liquidity.
private placementsfinancial
Private placements are sales of a company’s securities—such as shares or bonds—directly to a small group of selected investors rather than to the general public. Think of it like a private sale to a few buyers who negotiate terms, and it matters to investors because it changes a company’s cash position, can dilute existing ownership, alter control or voting power, and may affect share liquidity and market value when those securities eventually reach public markets.
rule 10b5-1 plansregulatory
A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a prearranged schedule that lets company insiders buy or sell stock at set times or prices, set up when they do not possess confidential information. It acts like an automatic thermostat for trades, reducing the risk that otherwise-timed transactions could be accused of insider trading. Investors care because such plans increase transparency about insider activity and signal when insider trades are routine rather than reactive to private news.

Led by a media-reported global box office debut of $372 million for THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE, AMC Entertainment posted its largest combined global admissions and food & beverage revenue for a 5-day Easter weekend in the Company’s 106-year history
More than 6.0 million moviegoers attended AMC Theatres in the United States or ODEON Cinemas internationally from Wednesday, April 1 through Sunday, April 5; this was also AMC’s highest global attendance for Wednesday through Sunday in 2026
AMC’s merchandise program for THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE was a major hit with moviegoers and ranks as AMC’s second-best selling and second-highest grossing merchandise program of all time, behind only the AMC-distributed TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR concert film in October 2023
LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and in the world, today announced that it delivered a record-setting performance over the 5-day Easter holiday weekend, achieving the highest combined global admissions and food & beverage revenue for the holiday frame in AMC’s 106-year history.
From Wednesday, April 1 through Sunday, April 5, more than 6.0 million guests attended AMC locations in the U.S. or ODEON Cinemas theatres internationally. This was also AMC’s best global attendance for a Wednesday through Sunday in 2026.
Driving most of these results was the highly anticipated debut of THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE, which generated a media-reported global opening of approximately $372 million and drew strong attendance across AMC Theatres in the U.S. and ODEON Cinemas internationally. The film’s broad, family-friendly appeal fueled robust moviegoing throughout the weekend, with particularly strong turnout from families and younger audiences.
In addition to the breakout opening of THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE, AMC and ODEON benefited from a solid lineup of other new releases like THE DRAMA, as well as highly successful holdover titles such as PROJECT HAIL MARY and HOPPERS, which continued to perform well and contributed to sustained momentum at the box office.
AMC’s THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE themed merchandise program also was a standout success with guests, with especially strong demand for collectibles such as the Yoshi popcorn bucket and Luma LED popcorn bucket. As a result, THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE ranks as AMC’s second-highest grossing merchandise program ever, trailing only the all-time record holder from October of 2023, the TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR concert film.
Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO, AMC Entertainment, commented:
“We want to congratulate our friends at Universal Pictures, Illumination Entertainment, and all those connected to THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE for delivering a film that clearly delighted millions and millions of AMC and ODEON moviegoers. THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE brought families, younger audiences, and longtime fans to our theatres in impressive numbers, in the highest grossing Easter holiday weekend ever for AMC and ODEON. It also allowed AMC to showcase the strength of our merchandise program, with Yoshi popcorn buckets flying off shelves all weekend.”
Aron continued:
“It’s also important to note that this record-setting 5-day Easter weekend performance for AMC and ODEON was not driven by a single title. PROJECT HAIL MARY, THE DRAMA, HOPPERS, and so many other titles remain popular on our screens. We have long said that theatrical exhibition is strongest when there is a compelling and diverse slate of films for guests to enjoy. This was an extraordinarily successful holiday frame for AMC and ODEON and yet another example of that dynamic in action.”
