AMC Stock Jumps Nearly 20% on Super Mario Box Office Boost, but Debt Still Looms

AMC Stock Jumps Nearly 20% on Super Mario Box Office Boost, but Debt Still Looms

AMC Entertainment surged almost 20% Friday, with the stock racing ahead of other theater names after the chain’s record Easter weekend fueled more gains. By 12:25 p.m. EDT, AMC shares added $0.32 to reach $1.93. Cinemark picked up roughly 1.9%, Marcus climbed 6.6%. Theater chains are betting a higher-profile 2026 film lineup can keep business more consistent, rather than just fueling short-lived stock pops. During CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, Paramount Skydance assured exhibitors it will stick with a 45-day theatrical window and put out at least 30 movies a year—assuming the Warner Bros deal gets the green light. Disney also highlighted some late-2026 releases: “Avengers: Doomsday,” “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” and “Moana.”

  • 3 Consumer Staples Stocks With Yield and Defense: ACI, BGS, NOMD
    June 29, 2026, 7:15 PM EDT. With volatility picking up around geopolitics and rates, defensive investments in consumer staples are back in focus. Names like Albertsons (ACI), B&G Foods (BGS), and Nomad Foods (NOMD) all see steady demand for basics, and they pay dividends above 3% while trading at lower valuations. Albertsons is around $13 with a 5% yield and a 29% payout ratio, leaving room to boost payouts as the company pushes on digital upgrades and new services. B&G Foods-owner of Green Giant and Crisco-offers an 18% yield at roughly $4 per share, with cost cutting helping the bottom line. All three hold a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), making them defensive plays with yields and moderate price tags as uncertainty hangs over the market.
