AMC Entertainment delivered a standout second quarter, posting a near-breakeven loss of just $0.01 per share against a consensus estimate of $0.08, a beat of 86.96%, as a resurgent box office and record per-patron spending drove revenue 35.6% higher year-over-year to $1.40 billion, well ahead of the $1.34 billion analysts had expected. The single most compelling driver was a 25.6% surge in consolidated attendance to 62.8 million patrons, which combined with all-time highs in admissions revenue per patron at $12.14 and food and beverage revenue per guest at $7.95, producing an Adjusted EBITDA that soared 391.4% to $189.20 million and illustrating the powerful operating leverage in AMC's model.

AMC's revenue growth of 35.6% above last year's second quarter drove an Adjusted EBITDA increase of 391.4%, to a highly gratifying $189.2 million.
