AMC Entertainment Holdings shares fell -6.3% Thursday, after the movie theatre chain reported wider-than-expected loss for the first-quarter.
The company incurred a net loss of -$1.25 a share for the quarter, which is worse than the -55 cents loss a share that Wall Street analysts had expected. The U.S. industry box office plunged -16.2% to $2.4 billion in the first quarter, with a -14.8% decline in attendance, which AMC indicated as headwinds.
AMC's revenue came in at $1.2 billion, missing the Street estimates of $1.19 billion. It was also -13.2% lower than the year-ago quarter.

But the company mentioned that box office momentum picked up at he end of the first quarter, with the April release of 'Avengers: Endgame' - a movie that has generated record blockbuster sales both domestically and internationally, grossing more than $2 billion globally in its first two weeks.
