AMC Entertainment Holdings is a movie theatre chain known not only for its extensive global presence with over 1,000 theatres and 11,000 screens in 15 countries but also for its recent rise as a meme stock on Reddit.

Headquartered in Leawood, Kansas, AMC stock became a focal point for a group of investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum. Its stock particularly has seen a significant surge in interest and price due to this group buying and promoting it heavily. AMC hit the mainstream headlines when Reddit investors forced a short squeeze, costing some institutions billions of dollars.
