AMC Theatres is postponing plans to simulcast a series of live concerts from performers like Bebe Rexha , Paris Hilton , Kim Petras and Maren Morris. The cinema chain revised its plans after a series of summer releases such as “Backrooms,” “Scary Movie” and “Obsession” over-performed at the box office, and in advance of the debuts of likely blockbusters such as “Toy Story 5.”

“Week after week in 2026, the domestic box office performance has exceeded or met expectations,” AMC said in a statement. “With a robust lineup of films and strong advance ticket sales in the weeks ahead, AMC is making some programming adjustments during the month of June.”
