What Has Dragged AMC Entertainment Holdings Stock Down 14% In A Week?

AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc stock (NYSE: AMC) fell more than 14% in just the last one week and has completely underperformed the S&P 500 which was up 2%. If you look at the change over the last ten days and one month, the stock has dropped 1% and 8%, respectively, thus having lagged the broader market on both the occasions. The drop in AMC stock was driven by Disney’s announcement of further movie delays last week. Disney reshuffled the release dates for five Marvel films, due to which fans of movies from popular franchises such as Thor and Black Panther will need to wait several more months to see their favorite superheroes on the big screen again. The House of Mouse also said it would move its long-awaited Indiana Jones film back by nearly a year, to June 2023. Disney’s new release schedule is likely to dent AMC’s and other theater chains’ revenue in 2022 and 2023. That’s bad news for an industry that’s already dealing with the challenges presented by Covid-19.
