AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) recently sold new high-yield notes<\/a> at a deep discount, as the company grapples with market volatility, as well as a host of industry-specific headwinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the giant theater exhibitor facing a dire economic backdrop, riddled with rising inflation, uncertainties over the Federal Reserve\u2019s interest rate hikes, and geopolitical jitters stemming from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, AMC also contends with a host of other headwinds, including increasing streaming video on demand (SVoD) competition, and shifting consumer behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date in 2022, AMC Entertainment\u2019s stock has fallen roughly 75.7%, and certain of its bonds have cratered in value, such as its 7.5% notes due February 15, 2029, which last trading at around US$71.75, according to the IBKR Trader Workstation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couch-Surfing vs Balcony Sneaking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Entrenchment and proliferation of streaming platforms before, during, and after the COVID-induced lockdowns have primarily helped to reinforce the ongoing surge in in-home entertainment. Also, in response to the pandemic, HBO MAX had released online<\/a> what were intended only as theatrical premieres \u2013 further stoking appetite for at-home viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing for Statista, analyst Jos\u00e9 Gabriel Navarro cited a June 2020 study that revealed that just 14% of adults said that they \u201cstrongly preferred seeing a movie for the first time in a theater\u201d, while 36% said that they \u201cwould much rather stream the film at home than visit a cinema\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navarro added that preferences for watching a new release in a cinema instead of via a streaming service in the U.S. \u201cchanged significantly between 2018 and 2020, signaling a shift in consumer behavior and potentially a risk for movie theaters in the country\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey appears prescient given the projected revenues for SVoD compared to box office draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Statista, SVoD sales<\/a> are likely to reach US$34.1 billion in 2022 and grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9% to US$54.66 billion by 2027. The figures dwarf those of the \u201ccinema tickets\u201d segment<\/a>, which is projected to reach US$3.27 billion in 2022, with a CAGR of 2.57% to US$3.71 billion by 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dismal growth outlook for theater ticket sales appears to fall in line with the recent trajectory of gross domestic box office revenues<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, over the past 30 years, box office receipts had hit a peak in 2018 with a gross total of nearly US$12 billion \u2013 a year-over-year uptick of 7.4% — while 2021, the last full-year, post-COVID lockdowns, saw just under US$4.5 billion \u2013 despite a 112% rise over 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing Both Sides of the Aisle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The lackluster performance of theatrical releases has prompted some investors to question AMC\u2019s CEO Adam Aron about his outlook on the company when faced with the threat from streaming services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aron has generally responded optimistically and enthusiastically about the moviegoing experience, citing the success of theatrical releases such as Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> and Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em>. Moreover, he said on the firm\u2019s second-quarter 2022 earnings call<\/a> that Hollywood has realized \u201chow much money can be made by releasing movies in theaters exclusively first\u201d and pointed out that \u201cit’s kind of well-known that the share price of some major streaming companies\u201d have started to take a hit and have started to lose subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aron may have been taking a shot at Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), which has seen its stock plunge more than 60% year-to-date in 2022, as the company navigates intensifying streaming video on demand (SVoD) competition, subscriber loss, and likely consumer cutbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As \u201cWall Street is turning away from streaming,\u201d Aron continued, \u201cHollywood is coming back to theatrical exhibition.\u201d AMC now has agreements in place with every major studio \u201cto take their movies that are released in our theaters on a theatrical basis exclusively for a sufficient period of time where we believe the studio and AMC can make money,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Aron warned that the third-quarter would lack a lot of new big movie titles, he\u2019s very upbeat on the fourth quarter, when the likes of Halloween Ends<\/em>, and sequels to Black Panther<\/em>, Shazam<\/em>, and Avatar<\/em> are due out in theaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, AMC appears to be hedging its bets, as the world\u2019s largest theater exhibitor recently partnered with Uber Eats<\/a> (NYSE: UBER) to deliver certain of its concession stand items to its customers\u2019 homes, including \u2018AMC Theaters Perfectly Popcorn, pretzel bites, and more\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Curtain?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The faltering resurgence of moviegoing further took a toll on London, England-based Cineworld Group (OTCMKTS: CNWGQ; LON: CINE) \u2013 the world\u2019s second largest cinema chain \u2013 which saw certain of its subsidiaries file on September 7 for protection under Chapter 11<\/a> of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moody\u2019s senior analyst Fiona Knox noted that Cineworld has \u201can unsustainable capital structure following the significant deterioration in the company’s operating and financial performance driven by the prolonged shutdown of its movie theatres in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, despite efforts to restructure its cost base and raise additional financing during the pandemic.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cineworld said it had reviewed and revised down its short and medium\u2010term cinema admission outlooks, \u201cprompted by the slower\u2010than\u2010expected recovery being experienced in 2022 combined with external forecasts indicating a lower volume of theatrical releases in 2023 and 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, other companies in the theater exhibition industry\u2019s ecosystem have also been subjected to dimmed financial prospects by the downturn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other recent actions, Moody\u2019s, for example, lowered its outlook on in-theater, on-screen advertiser Screenvision to \u2018negative\u2019 from \u2018stable\u2019, while affirming its junk-status, \u2018Caa1\u2019 credit rating, on the back of its \u201cweak liquidity and operating performance as ad spending continues to lag cinema attendance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Screenvision has a relationship with AMC Entertainment, it is not directly exposed to Regal theaters, whose owner, Crown UK HoldCo Ltd, filed for Chapter 11<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cineworld Group Plc is the parent company of Crown UK HoldCo Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moody\u2019s also cut its credit rating and outlook on National CineMedia (NASDAQ: NCMI), another triple-\u2018C\u2019 rated cinema advertiser, to \u2018Caa3\u2019 negative from \u2018Caa1\u2019 stable, due in large part to the bankruptcy of Crown UK HoldCo Ltd, along with weak liquidity, a high likelihood of a covenant breach as soon as March 2023, as well as refinancing risk, a difficult macro environment, and weak advertising demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shares of National CineMedia have plummeted nearly 82% to date in 2022 and were last trading at just US$0.57.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
