Buoyed by the release of the long-delayed blockbuster film <i>Black Widow</i> from <b>Walt Disney</b>, AMC reported a post-reopening record with 3.2 million moviegoers over the weekend.</p>\n<p>According to estimates, Black Widow generated $158 million in box office sales worldwide. Additionally, another blockbuster from <b>Comcast</b>'s Universal Pictures, <i>F9: The Fast Saga</i>, has earned $542 million. That's just the beginning.

Its balance sheet has swelled to contain $5.4 billion in debt, and in the most recent quarter, the company paid interest expenses of $151.5 million. Annualized, its interest expense will be over $600 million.</p>\n<p>What makes that figure troublesome is that the most annual operating income AMC earned over the last decade was $310 million. So while it's great news that big-ticket movies are returning to movie theaters, AMC still has a lot of work to do before it fully bounces back. For instance, even if it matches its pre-pandemic high of $310 million in operating income, AMC will likely still report a loss on the bottom line because of the interest expense.</p>\n<h2>Missed opportunity</h2>\n<p>Management understands the company's issues and is working on raising equity, presumably to pay down debt.

And the short-term share price movement appears to be more of a concern for investors in AMC than the long-term fundamentals of the company.</p>\n<p>AMC's role as the focal point for a group of retail traders on Reddit makes the stock trade at a price that appears to be divorced from fundaments.
