Why is AMC closing theaters?

AMC Theatres Media Relations Manager Cassie Kennard previously told the Peoria Journal Star that AMC routinely reviews theaters in its circuit and opportunities outside of the circuit to make decisions that will "best strengthen the company."

She encouraged guests "to continue enjoying the AMC experience" at remaining nearby theaters.
