AMC’s path to recovery could be helped by an increase in movies released in theaters this year, according to CEO Adam Aron. He recently noted that 35% more movies will be released in 2023 than in 2022, as the movie-theater industry attempts to recover from COVID-19-related slowdown. Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese wrote in a Monday note that theatrical exhibition is “on the path to normalization,” with an improving slate of releases in 2023.
