NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2015

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE"), American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" or "AMC"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres primarily located in the United States. Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), a Chinese private conglomerate.

        As of June 30, 2015, Wanda owned approximately 77.85% of Holdings' outstanding common stock and 91.34% of the combined voting power of Holdings' outstanding common stock and has the power to control Holdings' affairs and policies, including with respect to the election of directors (and, through the election of directors, the appointment of management), entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of the Company's assets and other extraordinary transactions.

        Use of Estimates:    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Principles of Consolidation:    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The June 30, 2015 consolidated balance sheet data does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders' equity, net earnings (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2015. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.

NOTE 3—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock Rights and Privileges

        The rights of the holders of Holdings' Class A common stock and Holdings' Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion applicable to the Class B common stock. Holders of Holdings' Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Holdings' Class B common stock are entitled to three votes per share.

The Class A common stock is not convertible into any other shares of Holdings' capital stock. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. In addition, each share of Class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain transfers described in Holdings' certificate of incorporation.

Dividends

        The following is a summary of dividends and dividend equivalents paid to stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2015:

NOTE 3—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)

appropriate adjustments for any subsequent events such as dividends, splits, or combinations. The shares of Class A common stock subject to the stockholder agreement are classified as temporary equity, apart from permanent equity, as a result of the contingent redemption feature contained in the stockholder agreement. The Company determined the amount reflected in temporary equity for the Class A common stock based on the price paid per share by the management stockholders and Wanda on August 30, 2012, the date Wanda acquired Holdings. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, one holder of 5,939 shares relinquished his put right, therefore the related share amount of $62,000 was reclassified to stockholders' equity.

•

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement:  On March 6, 2015, RSU awards of 84,649 units were granted to certain members of management.

The RSUs will not be settled, and will be non-transferable, until the third anniversary of the date of grant. Under certain termination scenarios defined in the award agreement, the RSUs may be settled within 60 days following termination of service. Participants will receive dividend equivalents equal to the amount paid in respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the RSUs. The Company recognized approximately $2,875,000 of expense in general and administrative: other expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015, in connection with these fully vested awards.

Under certain termination scenarios defined in the award agreement, the vested RSUs may be settled within 60 days following termination of service. A dividend equivalent equal to the amount paid in respect of one share of Class A common stock underlying the RSUs began to accrue with respect to the RSUs on the date of grant. Such accrued dividend equivalents are paid to the holder upon vesting of the RSUs. Thereafter, dividend equivalents are paid to the holder whenever dividends are paid on the Class A common stock. The grant date fair value was $1,995,000. The Company recognized expense for these awards of $1,995,000, in general and administrative: other expense, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, based on current estimates that the performance condition is expected to be achieved.

•

Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement:  On March 6, 2015, PSU awards were granted to certain members of management and executive officers, with both a 2015 free cash flow performance target condition and a service condition, ending on December 31, 2015.

If the performance target is met at 100%, the PSU awards granted on March 6, 2015 will be 143,398 units. No PSUs will vest if Holdings does not achieve the free cash flow minimum performance target or the participant's service does not continue through the last day of the performance period, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The vested PSUs will not be settled, and will be non-transferable, until the third anniversary of the date of grant. Under certain termination scenarios defined in the award agreement, the vested PSUs may be settled within 60 days following termination of service.

AMCE's Notes due 2020

        On May 26, 2015, AMCE launched a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 ("Notes due 2020") at a purchase price of $1,093 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2020 validly tendered and accepted by AMCE on or before June 2, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. New York City time (the "Expiration Date"). Holders of $581,324,000, or approximately 96.9%, of the Notes due 2020 validly tendered and did not withdraw their Notes due 2020 on or prior to the Expiration Date. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment related to the redemption of the Notes due 2020 of approximately $9,273,000 in other expense (income) during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

        AMCE may redeem some or all of the remaining $18,676,000 principal amount of the Notes due 2020 at any time on or after December 1, 2015 at 104.875% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after December 1, 2018, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

AMCE's Notes due 2025

        On June 5, 2015, AMCE issued $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the "Notes due 2025") in a private offering. AMCE capitalized deferred financing costs of approximately $11,730,000, related to the issuance of the Notes due 2025, during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Notes due 2025 mature on June 15, 2025. AMCE will pay interest on the Notes due 2025 at 5.75% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th, commencing on December 15, 2015. AMCE may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2025 at any time on or after June 15, 2020 at 102.875% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after June 15, 2023, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to June 15, 2020, AMCE may redeem the Notes due 2025 at par plus a make-whole premium. AMCE used the net proceeds from the Notes due 2025 private offering and cash on hand, to pay the consideration for the tender offer for the Notes due 2020, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related transaction fees and expenses.

        The Notes due 2025 are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of AMCE and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis by all of its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its other indebtedness. The Notes due 2025 are not guaranteed by Holdings.

        The indenture governing the Notes due 2025 contains covenants limiting other indebtedness, dividends, purchases or redemptions of stock, transactions with affiliates and mergers and sales of assets.

        On June 5, 2015, in connection with the issuance of the Notes due 2025, AMCE entered into a registration rights agreement. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, AMCE filed a registration statement on June 19, 2015 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to an offer to exchange the original Notes due 2025 for exchange Notes due 2025 registered pursuant to an effective registration statement; the registration statement was declared effective on June 29, 2015, and AMCE commenced the exchange offer. The exchange notes have terms substantially identical to the original notes except that the exchange notes do not contain terms with respect to transfer

restrictions and registration rights and additional interest payable for the failure to consummate the exchange offer within 210 days after the issue date. After the exchange offer expired on July 27, 2015, all of the original Notes due 2025 were exchanged.

        As of June 30, 2015, AMCE was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Notes due 2020, the Notes due 2022, and the Notes due 2025.

NOTE 5—INCOME TAXES

        The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.

        The effective tax rate based on the projected annual taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2015 is 39%. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company received a favorable state ruling that resulted in a reduction of uncertain tax positions and as a result, the Company recorded a net discrete tax benefit of approximately $2,900,000. The discrete item reduces the Company's annual effective rate for the year to 37.6% and the actual rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 35.3%.

        The Company's tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes.

NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

        Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

        Recurring Fair Value Measurements.    The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015:

        Valuation Techniques.    The Company's money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The equity securities, available-for-sale, primarily consist of common stock and mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. See Note 8—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the unrealized gain on the equity securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

        Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures.    The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

        Valuation Technique.    Quoted market prices and observable market based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Level 3 fair value measurement represents the transaction price of the corporate borrowings under market conditions.

Certain employees were eligible for subsidized postretirement medical benefits. The eligibility for these benefits was based upon a participant's age and service as of January 1, 2009. The Company also sponsors a postretirement deferred compensation plan.

        On January 12, 2015, the Compensation Committee and all of the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. adopted resolutions to terminate the AMC Postretirement Medical Plan with an effective date of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company notified eligible associates that their retiree medical coverage under the plan will terminate after March 31, 2015. Payments to eligible associates were approximately $4,300,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company recorded net periodic benefit credits of $18,118,000, including curtailment gains, settlement gains, amortization of unrecognized prior service credits and amortization of actuarial gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the termination and settlement of the plan during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

NOTE 10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.

        On May 5, 2014, NCM, Inc., the sole manager of NCM LLC, announced that it had entered into a merger agreement to acquire Screenvision, LLC for $375,000,000, consisting of cash and NCM, Inc. common stock. Consummation of the transaction was subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. On November 3, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit seeking to enjoin the transaction. On March 16, 2015, NCM, Inc. and Screenvision, LLC decided to terminate the merger agreement. The termination of the merger agreement was effective upon NCM, Inc.'s payment of a $26,840,000 termination payment. The estimated legal and other transaction expenses were approximately $14,930,000. NCM LLC of which AMC was an approximate 15.05% owner at March 31, 2015, had agreed to indemnify NCM, Inc. and bear a pro rata portion of the termination fee and other transaction expenses. Accordingly, the Company recorded expense of approximately $6,300,000 in equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated entities associated with these transaction expenses recorded by NCM LLC during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

        On May 28, 2015, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice in connection with an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. On May 29, 2015, June 12, 2015, June 26, 2015, and July 15, 2015, the Company also received CIDs from the Attorneys General for the States of Ohio, Texas, Washington, and Florida, respectively, regarding a similar inquiry under those states' antitrust laws. The CIDs request the production of documents and answers to interrogatories concerning potentially anticompetitive conduct, including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures. The Company may receive additional CIDs from antitrust authorities in other jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company does not believe it has violated federal or state antitrust laws and is cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities. However, the Company cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.

        Starplex Cinemas.    On July 13, 2015, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with SMH Theatres,  Inc. ("Starplex Cinemas"), the shareholders of Starplex Cinemas and the shareholder representative named in the Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Starplex Cinemas (the "Transaction") for $171,800,000 in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. Starplex Cinemas operates 33 theatres with 346 screens in small and mid-size markets in 12 states, which further complements the Company's large market portfolio. The Company expects to acquire Starplex Cinemas on a cash-free, debt-free basis. The Company expects to consummate the Transaction by the end of 2015, subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

NOTE 11—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)—Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this standard. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-03 as of the beginning of 2016 and will change the presentation of the debt issuance costs in the Consolidated Balance Sheets by reclassifying the amount from other long-term assets to corporate borrowings.

        In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. On July 9, 2015, FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Companies may elect to adopt this application as of the original effective date for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect

NOTE 12—EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings from continuing operations by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of contingently issuable RSUs and PSUs, if dilutive.

        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share:

        Vested RSUs have dividend rights identical to the Company's Class A and Class B common stock and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs are subject to performance conditions and are included in diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan") if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. During both the three months ended June 30, 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, unvested PSUs of 43,062 at the minimum performance target, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share since the shares would not be issuable under the terms of the Plan, if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period.

NOTE 13—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

        On July 28, 2015, Holdings' Board of Directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share of Class A and Class B common stock, payable on September 21, 2015 to stockholders of record on September 8, 2015.

Overview

        We are one of the world's leading theatrical exhibition companies and an industry leader in innovation and operational excellence. Our Theatrical Exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre food and beverage sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from our AMC Stubs™ customer frequency membership program, rental of theatre auditoriums, gift card and packaged ticket income, on-line ticketing fees and arcade games located in theatre lobbies. As of June 30, 2015, we owned, operated or had interests in 350 theatres and 5,031 screens.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we opened 12 newly built screens and acquired 40 screens in the U.S., and temporarily closed 179 screens and reopened 211 screens in the U.S. to implement our strategy and install consumer experience upgrades.

        Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license "first-run" films from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors. We license films on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on aggregate terms established prior to the opening of the picture. In certain circumstances and less frequently, our rental fees are based on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office gross or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.

        Recliner seating is the key feature of full theatre renovations. These exhaustive theatre renovations involve stripping theatres to their basic structure in order to replace finishes throughout, upgrade the sight and sound experience, install modernized points of sale and, most importantly, replace traditional theatre seats with plush, electric recliners that allow customers to deploy a leg rest and fully recline at the push of a button. The renovation process typically involves losing up to two-thirds of a given auditorium's seating capacity. For an industry historically focused on quantity, this reduction in seating capacity could be viewed as counter-intuitive and harmful to revenues. However, the quality improvement in the customer experience is driving, on average, an 80% increase in attendance at these locations. Our customers have responded favorably to the significant personal space gains from ample row depths, ability to recline or stretch their legs, extra-wide pillowed chaise and oversized armrests. The reseated theatres attract more midweek audiences than normal theatres and tend to draw more adults who pay higher ticket prices than teens or young children. We typically do not change ticket prices in the first year after construction, however, in subsequent years we typically increase our ticket prices at our reseated theatres.

        Rebalancing of the new supply-demand relationship created by recliner seating presents us two further opportunities to improve customer convenience and maximize operating results: open-source internet ticketing and reserved seating.

        Open-source internet ticketing makes all our seats (over 850,000) in all our theatres and auditoriums for all our showtimes as available as possible, on as many websites as possible. This is a significant departure from the prior ten-year practice, when tickets to any one of our buildings were only available on one website. We believe increased online access is important because it captures customers' purchase intent more immediately and directly than if we had to wait until they showed up at the theatre box office to make a purchase. Once our customers buy a ticket, they are less likely to change their mind. Carefully monitoring internet pre-sales also lets us adjust capacity in real time, moving movies that are poised to over perform to larger capacity or more auditoriums, thereby maximizing yield.

        Reserved seating, at our busiest theatres, allows our customers to choose a specific seat in advance of the movie. We believe that knowing there is a specifically chosen seat waiting for a show that promises to be a sellout is comforting to our customers, and removes anxiety around the experience. We believe reserved seating will become increasingly prevalent to the point of being a pre-requisite in the medium-term future.

        We believe the comfort and personal space gains from recliner seating, coupled with the immediacy of demand captured from open-source internet ticketing and the anxiety removal of reserved seating make a powerful economic combination for us that none of our peer set is exploiting as aggressively as we are.

        Technical innovation has allowed us to enhance the consumer experience through premium formats such as IMAX, 3D and other large screen formats. When combined with our major markets' customer base, the operating flexibility of digital technology enhances our capacity utilization and dynamic pricing capabilities. This enables us to achieve higher ticket prices for premium formats and provide incremental revenue from the exhibition of alternative content such as live concerts, sporting events, Broadway shows, opera and other non-traditional programming. Within each of our major markets, we are able to charge a premium for these services relative to our smaller markets. We intend to continue to broaden our content offerings and enhance the customer experience through the installation of additional IMAX and Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime (our proprietary large screen format) screens and the presentation of attractive alternative content.

        Food and beverage sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Food and beverage items traditionally include popcorn, soft drinks, candy and hot dogs. Different varieties of food and beverage items are offered at our theatres based on preferences in the particular geographic region. Our traditional food and beverage strategy emphasizes prominent and appealing food and beverage counters designed for rapid service and efficiency, including a customer friendly self-serve experience. We design our theatres to have more food and beverage capacity to make it easier to serve larger numbers of customers. Strategic placement of large food and beverage stands within theatres increases their visibility, aids in reducing the length of lines, allows flexibility to introduce new concepts and improves traffic flow around the food and beverage stands.

        To address recent consumer trends, we are expanding our menu of enhanced food and beverage products to include made-to-order drinks and meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks, premium beers, wine and mixed drinks and other gourmet products. We plan to invest across a spectrum of enhanced food and beverage formats, ranging from simple, less capital-intensive food and beverage design improvements to the development of new dine-in theatre options to rejuvenate theatres approaching the end of their useful lives as traditional movie theatres and, in some of our larger theatres, to more efficiently monetize attendance. The costs of these conversions in some cases are partially covered by investments from the theatre landlord. Building on the success of our full-service Dine-In Theatres, we have completed construction of a new concept, AMC Red Kitchen, which emphasizes freshness, speed and convenience. Customers place their orders at a central station and the order is delivered to our customers at their reserved seat. As of June 30, 2015, we have successfully implemented our dine-in theatre concepts at 18 locations, which feature full kitchen facilities, seat-side servers and a separate bar and lounge area.

        Our revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of film releases by distributors. The most marketable films are usually released during the summer and the calendar year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business is highly seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year.

        During the 2014 calendar year, films licensed from our seven largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 89% of our U.S. admissions revenues. Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor's films in any given year.

        During the period from 1990 to 2014, the annual number of first-run films released by distributors in the United States ranged from a low of 370 in 1995 to a high of 707 in 2014, according to Motion Picture Association of America 2014 Theatrical Market Statistics and prior reports. The number of digital 3D films released annually increased to a high of 47 in 2014 from a low of 0 during this same time period.

        We continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit by adding new screens through new builds (including expansions) and acquisitions, substantial upgrades to seating concepts, expansion of food and beverage offerings, including dine-in theatres, and by disposing of older screens through closures and sales. We are an industry leader in the development and operation of theatres. Typically, our theatres have 12 or more screens and offer amenities to enhance the movie-going experience, such as stadium seating providing unobstructed viewing, digital sound and premium seat design.

        As of June 30, 2015, we had 2,290 3D enabled screens, including 20 AMC Prime and ETX 3D enabled screens, and 150 IMAX 3D enabled screens; approximately 48.5% of our screens were 3D enabled screens, including IMAX 3D enabled screens, and approximately 3% of our screens were IMAX 3D enabled screens. Our IMAX screen count as of June 30, 2015, does not include one IMAX auditorium that was temporarily closed for repairs. We are the largest IMAX exhibitor in the world

        On April 1, 2011, we launched AMC Stubs, a customer frequency program, which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions. Rewards must be redeemed no later than 90 days from the date of issuance. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Rewards not redeemed within 90 days are forfeited and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. Progress rewards (member expenditures toward earned rewards) for expired memberships are forfeited upon expiration of the membership and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. The program's annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Significant and Subsequent Events

        Starplex Cinemas.    On July 13, 2015, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with SMH Theatres, Inc. ("Starplex Cinemas"), the shareholders of Starplex Cinemas and the shareholder representative named in the Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, we will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Starplex Cinemas (the "Transaction") for $171,800,000 in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. Starplex Cinemas operates 33 theatres with 346 screens in small and mid-size markets in 12 states, which further complements the Company's large market portfolio. We expect to acquire Starplex Cinemas on a cash-free, debt-free basis. We plan to fund the acquisition using cash on our balance sheet and availability under our existing revolving credit facility, if necessary. We expect to consummate the Transaction by the end of 2015, subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

        Corporate Borrowings.    On May 26, 2015, AMCE launched a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 ("Notes due 2020") at a purchase price of $1,093 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2020 validly tendered and accepted by AMCE on or before June 2, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. New York City time (the "Expiration Date"). Holders of $581,324,000, or approximately 96.9%, of the Notes due 2020 validly tendered and did not withdraw their Notes due 2020 on or prior to the Expiration Date. We recorded a loss on extinguishment related to the redemption of the Notes due 2020 of approximately $9,273,000 in other expense (income) during the six months ended June 30, 2015. AMCE may redeem some or all of the remaining $18,676,000 principal amount of the Notes due 2020 at any time on or after December 1, 2015 at 104.875% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after December 1, 2018, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

        On June 5, 2015, AMCE issued $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the "Notes due 2025") in a private offering. AMCE capitalized deferred financing costs of approximately $11,730,000, related to the issuance of the Notes due 2025, during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Notes due 2025 mature on June 15, 2025. AMCE will pay interest on the Notes due 2025 at 5.75% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th, commencing on December 15, 2015. AMCE may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2025 at any time on or after June 15, 2020 at 102.875% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after June 15, 2023, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the

redemption date. Prior to June 15, 2020, AMCE may redeem the Notes due 2025 at par plus a make-whole premium. AMCE used the net proceeds from the Notes due 2025 private offering and cash on hand, to pay the consideration for the tender offer for the Notes due 2020, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related transaction fees and expenses.

        On June 5, 2015, in connection with the issuance of the Notes due 2025, AMCE entered into a registration rights agreement. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, AMCE filed a registration statement on June 19, 2015 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to an offer to exchange the original Notes due 2025 for exchange Notes due 2025 registered pursuant to an effective registration statement; the registration statement was declared effective on June 29, 2015, and AMCE commenced the exchange offer. The exchange notes have terms substantially identical to the original notes except that the exchange notes do not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions and registration rights and additional interest payable for the failure to consummate the exchange offer within 210 days after the issue date. After the exchange offer expired on July 27, 2015, all of the original Notes due 2025 were exchanged.

        Postretirement Medical Plan Termination.    On January 12, 2015, the Compensation Committee and all of our Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. adopted resolutions to terminate the AMC Postretirement Medical Plan with an effective date of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company notified eligible associates that their retiree medical coverage under the plan will terminate after March 31, 2015.
