AMC Theatres® Newly Redesigned Rewards Program – AMC Stubs – Sees 42% Membership Increase in Just Two Months, Hits Record High 4 Million Active Member Households

New members are enrolling in AMC Stubs at more than 11 times the
number of enrollments during the same period last year

LEAWOOD, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AMC Theatres® (NYSE:AMC) today announced that approximately two months
after enhancing the benefits of its paid membership tier and adding a
free tier to its rewards program, AMC Stubs, the Company has added more
than 1.2 million households, hitting an all-time high of four million
active member households.

Active memberships are defined as an enrollee or someone in an
enrollee’s family having attended a movie at an AMC theatre within the
current or past calendar year.

Since the launching in July of a thoroughly re-designed program, AMC
Stubs’ two tiers, AMC Insider and AMC Premiere, combined to add more
than 1.2 million new active family memberships in the last few weeks of
the busy summer season. Given a continuation of this pace, the AMC Stubs
membership base is likely to more than double year over year by the
start of the 2017 summer movie season.

The number of new AMC Stubs members continues to climb daily at a brisk
pace. New members are enrolling in the new AMC Stubs program at a rate
more than 11 times the number of enrollments during the same period last
year.

“The new AMC Stubs has opened strong and to enthusiastic reviews from
our guests,” said Adam Aron, CEO and President, AMC Theatres.
“Moviegoers want to be recognized and rewarded for coming to theatres,
and the response to our new and improved AMC Stubs program has far
exceeded even our most optimistic expectations.”

“The expansive growth of AMC Stubs provides AMC with a much larger
database of identified moviegoers, and a better insight into their movie
preferences,” said Stephen Colanero, Executive Vice President and Chief
Marketing Officer, AMC. “This enables AMC to have both a larger and a
more focused marketing capability to support the movies of our Hollywood
studio partners.”

In early July, AMC launched AMC Insider, a free tier to the rewards
program that is increasing the number of AMC guests who are rewarded for
simply coming to the movies. AMC Insider benefits include free refills
on large popcorn, up to $2 off tickets every Tuesday, a free large
popcorn birthday gift and 20 points earned for every dollar spent.

The company’s paid tier, AMC Premiere, also saw a refresh that included
the addition of new guest benefits. For a $15 annual membership fee, AMC
Premiere members enjoy express service with specially marked shorter
lines at the box office and concession stand, free size upgrades on
popcorn and soda, a free refill on large popcorn, up to $5 off movie
tickets on Tuesdays, a birthday gift (free large popcorn and soda), no
online ticket fees and 100 reward points for every $1 spent.

Every AMC Stubs member earns $5 to spend at the box office and
concession stand for 5,000 points earned, and receives access to
exclusive offers, screenings and more. For information about AMC Stubs
and to sign up, guests can inquire at their local AMC theatre or at amctheatres.com/amcstubs.
