Overview
- AMC announced Wednesday that it will postpone the mid-June simulcasts starring Bebe Rexha, Paris Hilton, Kim Petras and Maren Morris and will automatically refund tickets already sold.
- The company said the decision was driven by stronger-than-expected summer box-office performance and robust advance film ticket sales that require more auditorium capacity for movies.
- The concerts were developed with Arena One as interactive studio-to-theater broadcasts under the AMC Girls Night Live brand and will be rescheduled to dates later in 2026 with new artist announcements to follow.
- Industry reporting points to box-office hits such as Backrooms, Scary Movie and Obsession and the upcoming Toy Story 5 as factors lifting demand and prompting AMC to prioritize film screenings now.
- The move reflects AMC’s broader strategy of experimenting with alternative content to diversify revenue while keeping the concerts as a future programming tool to bolster ticket sales if film slates weaken.
