                   AMC Entertainment Inc. reports record
                  third-quarter revenues, adjusted EBITDA


KANSAS CITY, Mo. - AMC Entertainment Inc., one of the world's leading
theatrical exhibition companies, today reported revenues of $305 million
for the third quarter of fiscal year 2001, ended Dec. 28, 2000. Those
revenues, up 7 percent from $285 million in the same quarter a year ago,
represent a new Company record for third-quarter revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the attached Financial Data Summary) for the
third quarter was $35 million, an 18 percent increase over Adjusted EBITDA
of $30 million for the third quarter last year. The Adjusted EBITDA also
represents a Company record for the third quarter.

For the quarter, AMC posted a net loss of $8.2 million (35 cents per
share), compared to last year's third quarter loss of $8.9 million (38
cents per share).

"We are extremely pleased to report record third quarter Adjusted EBITDA,
despite a challenging industry environment that has severely impacted many
of our competitors," said Peter Brown, chairman and chief executive
officer.  "This quarter's performance demonstrates that when good film
product is combined with great assets-AMC's industry-leading portfolio of
high-performance theatres-solid results will follow."

For the first three quarters of fiscal 2001, AMC posted revenues of $927
million, an increase of 2.4 percent from the $905 million in revenues for
the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the year to date was $105
million, down 3.5 percent from $109 million in the year-ago period.
For the fiscal year to date, AMC reported a net loss of $31.5 million
($1.34 per share), compared to a loss of $26.1 million ($1.11 per share) in
the same period last year.  Current year results include a non-cash
impairment loss of $.10 per share and prior year results include a
restructuring charge of $.31 per share and a charge for the cumulative
effect of an accounting change of $.25 per share.

Highlights of the third quarter include:
1.   67 percent of the AMC circuit now consists of megaplex screens.
2.   AMC continues to dominate the industry rankings of top-performing
  theatres, with 24, or 48 percent, of the Top 50 theatres in North America.
3.   G&A expense was $4.9 million lower than in the year-ago quarter.  G&A
  expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.6 percent versus 4.5 percent in
  the year-ago quarter.
4.   AMC continued to enhance the overall quality of its theatre portfolio
  by closing four underperforming theatres with 23 screens.

     Richard J. King                    January 25, 2001

             AMC Entertainment clarifies theatre closing plans

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - AMC Entertainment Inc. today clarified its plans
regarding theatre closings, stating that it plans to close approximately
300 screens at the rate of 70 to 80 per year for each of the next four
years. AMC officials stated that these closings will come from a list of
548 screens that have been internally identified as candidates for
potential closing.

The potential closings are older-style multiplex screens that have lost
customer traffic to the popular, newer-style megaplexes that feature
stadium seating, bigger screens, plusher seats and other amenities.
Megaplex screens now account for 67 per cent of AMC's total screen count.

The 70-80 screen closings per year are a continuation of AMC's pattern of
moving aggressively to close older, unprofitable theatres. Since 1995, AMC
has closed more than 800 older screens. Company officials noted that many
of the future closings will occur as a result of lease expirations, rather
than lease buyouts.

AMC yesterday reported record adjusted EBITDA of $35 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2001, an 18 percent increase over the same period last
year.

AMC Entertainment Inc. is a leader in the theatrical exhibition industry.
Through its circuit of AMC Theatres, the Company operates 181 theatres with
2,774 screens in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Portugal,
Spain and France. Its Common Stock trades on the American Stock Exchange
under the symbol AEN. The Company, headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., has a
website at www.amctheatres.com.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this release, which reflect
management's best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements included herein as a result
of a number of factors, including but not limited to the Company's ability
to enter into various financing programs, competition from other companies,
demographic changes, changes in economic climate, increase in demand for
real estate, construction delays, unforeseen changes in operating
requirements, the ability to achieve planned openings or closings of
theatres and screens, changes in real estate, zoning and tax laws, the
performance of films licensed by the Company and other risks and
uncertainties.
