"We maybe got a little ahead of ourselves," Craig Ramsey told an investors conference after the industry last year fell short of a record 2018 box office tally.
Current estimates for 2019's final tally are down from 2018 when the U.S. box office brought in a best-ever $11.88 billion. As AMC Theatres faces competition in the home entertainment arena from Netflix and other streamers, the exhibition giant has launched its own ticket subscription service, Stubs A-List, and refurbished its cinemas to retain customer loyalty.
As he gets set to make his own exit, Ramsey looked back on an exhibition industry today facing a competitive threat as the Hollywood studios, as major movie providers to the local multiplex, also launch streaming platforms.
I used to go to the movies almost every week; now I go a handful of times each year. I know films based on IPs are ‘safe,’ but real film fans have little to no interest in them. But I guess that all-powerful 13 year old boy demo is where the money is.
When is it enough?
They're going to blame it on cats?
No Mad Men.
