AMC Theatres and Arena One Launch Interactive Live Concert Streaming in Cinemas Nationwide

AMC Theatres is expanding its offerings beyond traditional films by launching a new partnership with Arena One, a recently established entertainment company. The collaboration will introduce livestreamed, interactive concerts to AMC's cinema screens across the United States, beginning June 17.

Unlike conventional concert livestreams, Arena One's technology will stream performances from a specially designed stage directly to AMC theaters. The system is designed to create a two-way connection between performers and audiences, enabling real-time crowd reactions, sound, and engagement to flow seamlessly between fans and artists through innovative interactive technology.

"We built a cinematic stage optimized to translate seamlessly to cinemas, but artists are defining what it becomes. They’re not adapting tours; they’re building something new. That’s when a medium sparks reinvention."

The partnership will debut with a performance by Bebe Rexha on June 17, followed by Paris Hilton on June 18 and Maren Morris on June 20. Additional artists are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

"We consider this to be a major announcement, as once again AMC Entertainment takes an innovative step forward. Arena One at AMC has the potential to open an entirely new chapter in live entertainment. We are launching it on day one at more than 300 of our U.S. theatres, in some 89 markets from sea to shining sea."

Adam Aron emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating, "Thanks to Arena One at AMC, music fans across the country will be able to come together for the same live concert, at the same time, all with the accessible premium experience of huge screens, powerful sound, and comfortable seats that AMC guests know and expect."

This initiative reflects AMC's ongoing efforts to diversify its theatrical offerings. The company made headlines in 2023 when it self-distributed Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour" film, which grossed $261.6 million globally without a major studio distributor. The new Arena One screenings will complement AMC's 2026 theatrical slate, which includes Disney/Pixar’s "Toy Story 5," Universal’s "The Odyssey" in the summer, and Warner Bros.’ "Dune: Part Three" in December.

The U.S. box office is currently on pace to reach a domestic total of $10 billion for the first time since the pandemic, signaling a strong recovery in the industry.

AMC reported a $117 million loss for the first quarter of 2026, an improvement over the $202 million loss recorded in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue increased by 21% year-over-year to $1.04 billion, driven by holiday holdovers like "Avatar: Fire and Ash" and early-year hits such as "Hoppers," "Scream 7," and "Project Hail Mary."
