SUMMARY

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent"), an entity created on June 6, 2007, is the sole stockholder of Marquee Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a holding company with no operations of its own and has one direct subsidiary, AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE"). As used in this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, references to "we," "us," "our," the "Company", "AMC Entertainment" or "AMC" refer to AMCE and its subsidiaries.

As used in this prospectus, the term "pro forma" refers to, in the case of pro forma financial information, such information after giving pro forma effect to the Kerasotes Acquisition (as described under "Recent Developments") (the "Transaction").

AMCE has a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Thursday closest to March 31. Fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010 contained 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2008 contained 53 weeks.

Who We Are

We are one of the world's leading theatrical exhibition companies. As of December 30, 2010, we owned, operated or held interests in 361 theatres with a total of 5,203 screens, approximately 99% of which were located in the United States and Canada. Our theatres are primarily located in major metropolitan markets, which we believe offer us strategic, operational and financial advantages. We also have a modern, highly productive theatre circuit that leads the theatrical exhibition industry in key asset quality and performance metrics, such as screens per theatre and per theatre productivity measures. Our industry-leading performance is largely driven by the quality of our theatre sites, our operating practices, which focus on delivering the best customer experience through consumer-focused innovation, and, most recently, our implementation of premium sight and sound formats, which we believe will be key components of the future movie-going experience. As of December 30, 2010, we are the largest IMAX exhibitor in the world with a 45% market share in the United States and more than twice the screen count of the second largest U.S. IMAX exhibitor, and each of our local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity.

Approximately 200 million consumers have attended our theatres each year for the past five years. We offer these consumers a fully immersive out-of-home entertainment experience by featuring a wide array of entertainment alternatives, including popular movies, throughout the day and at different price points. This broad range of entertainment alternatives appeals to a wide variety of consumers across different age, gender, and socioeconomic demographics. For example, in addition to traditional film programming, we offer more diversified programming that includes independent and foreign films, performing arts, music and sports. We also offer food and beverage alternatives beyond traditional concession items, including made-to-order meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks and dine-in theatre options, all designed to create further service and selection for our consumers. We believe there is potential for us to further increase our annual attendance as we gain market share from other in-home and out-of-home entertainment options.

Our large annual attendance makes us an important partner to content providers who want access and distribution to consumers. AMC currently generates 16% more estimated unique visitors per year (33.3 million) than HBO's subscribers (28.6 million) and 67% more than Netflix's subscribers (20.0 million) according to the October 14, 2010 Hollywood Reporter, the December 31, 2010 Netflix Form 10-K and the Theatrical Market Statistics 2010 report from the Motion Picture Association of America. Further underscoring our importance to the content providers, AMC represents approximately 17% to 20%, on average, of each of the six largest grossing studios' U.S. box office revenues. Average annual film rental payments to each of these studios ranged from approximately $100 million to $160 million.

For the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, the fiscal year ended April 1, 2010 and the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010, we generated pro forma revenues of approximately $2.6 billion, $2.7 billion

and $1.9 billion, respectively, pro forma Adjusted EBITDA (as defined on page 13) of $329.7 million, $365.6 million and $253.2 million, respectively, and pro forma earnings from continuing operations of $93.1 million, $84.8 million and $30.7 million, respectively. We reported revenues of approximately $2.4 billion, earnings from continuing operations of $77.3 million and net earnings of $69.8 million in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2009 and 2008, we reported revenues of approximately $2.3 billion and $2.3 billion, earnings (losses) from continuing operations of $(90.9) million and $41.6 million, and net earnings (losses) of $(81.2) million and $43.4 million, respectively.

We were founded in 1920 and since then have pioneered many of the theatrical exhibition industry's most important innovations, including the multiplex theatre format in the early 1960s and the North American megaplex theatre format in the mid-1990s. In addition, we have acquired some of the most respected companies in the theatrical exhibition industry, including Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation ("Loews"), General Cinema Corporation ("General Cinema") and, more recently, Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC ("Kerasotes"), the acquisition of which is described under "—Recent Developments." Our historic growth has been driven by a combination of organic growth and acquisition strategies, in addition to strategic alliances and partnerships that highlight our ability to capture innovation and value beyond the traditional exhibition space. For example:

•
  In March 2011, we announced the launch of an innovative distribution company called Open Road Films along with another major theatrical exhibition chain. Open Road Films will be a dynamic acquisition-based domestic theatrical distribution company that will concentrate on wide-release movies;
•
  In March 2005, we formed a joint venture with one of the major theatrical exhibition chains which combined our respective cinema screen advertising businesses into a company called National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM") and in July 2005, another of the major theatrical exhibition chains joined NCM as one of the founding members. As of December 30, 2010, we owned 18,803,420 common units in NCM, or a 16.98% ownership interest in NCM. All of our NCM membership units are redeemable for, at the option of NCM, 0 cash or shares of common stock of National CineMedia, Inc. ("NCM, Inc.") on a share-for-share basis. The estimated fair market value of our units in NCM was approximately $375.5 million based on the closing price per share of NCM, Inc. on December 30, 2010 of $19.97 per share;
•
  We hold a 29% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC ("DCIP"), a joint venture charged with implementing digital cinema in the Company's theatres; and
•
  We hold a 26% interest in Movietickets.com, a joint venture that provides moviegoers with a way to buy movie tickets online, access local showtime information, view trailers and read reviews.

Recent Developments

NCM, Inc. Stock Sale

All of our National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM") membership units are redeemable for, at the option of NCM, cash or shares of common stock of National CineMedia, Inc. ("NCM, Inc.") on a share-for-share basis. On August 18, 2010, we sold 6,500,000 shares of common stock of NCM, Inc., in an underwritten public offering for $16.00 per share and reduced our related investment in NCM by $36.7 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. Net proceeds received on this sale were $99.8 million, after deducting related underwriting fees and professional and consulting costs of $4.2 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $63.1 million. In addition, on September 8, 2010, we sold 155,193 shares of NCM, Inc. to the underwriters to cover over allotments for $16.00 per share and reduced our related investment in NCM by $867,000, the average carrying amount of the shares owned. Net

proceeds received on this sale were $2.4 million, after deducting related underwriting fees and professional and consulting costs of $99,000, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.5 million.

Kerasotes Acquisition

On May 24, 2010, we completed the acquisition of 92 theatres and 928 screens from Kerasotes (the "Kerasotes Acquisition"). Kerasotes operated 95 theatres and 972 screens in mid-sized, suburban and metropolitan markets, primarily in the Midwest. More than three quarters of the Kerasotes theatres feature stadium seating and almost 90% have been built since 1994. The purchase price for the Kerasotes theatres paid in cash at closing was $276.8 million, net of cash acquired, and was subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. We paid working capital and other purchase price adjustments of $3.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, based on the final closing date working capital and deferred revenue amounts and have included this amount as part of the total estimated purchase price. The acquisition of Kerasotes significantly increased our size. For additional information about the Kerasotes Acquisition, see the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the 39-week period ended December 30, 2010 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Registration Statement

On July 14, 2010, Parent filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to an initial public offering of shares of its common stock. Parent filed Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-1 on August 25, 2010, Amendment No. 2 to the Form S-1 on September 21, 2010 and Amendment No. 3 to the Form S-1 on March 14, 2011.

2020 Notes Offering, Cash Tender Offers and Redemptions

On December 15, 2010, we issued $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 15, 2010, among the Issuer, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture"). The Indenture provides that the 2020 Notes are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis by all of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee our other indebtedness.

Concurrently with the 2020 Notes offering, we launched a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of our currently outstanding 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the "2016 Senior Subordinated Notes") at a purchase price of $1,031.00 plus a $30.00 consent fee for each $1,000.00 of principal amount of currently outstanding 2016 Subordinated Notes validly tendered and accepted by us on or before the early tender date, and Marquee Holdings Inc. ("Marquee" or "Holdings"), our direct parent, launched a tender offer for its 12% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 (the "Marquee Notes") at a purchase price of $797.00 plus a $30.00 consent fee for each $1,000.00 face amount (or $792.09 accreted value) of currently outstanding Marquee Notes validly tendered and accepted by Marquee on or before the early tender date (the "Cash Tender Offers"). As of December 29, 2010, we had purchased $95.1 million principal amount of our 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes for a total consideration of $104.8 million, and Marquee had purchased $215.5 million principal amount at face value (or $170.7 million accreted value) of the Marquee Notes for a total consideration of $185.0 million. We recorded a loss on extinguishment for the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes and our Senior Secured Credit Facility Amendment of approximately $11.0 million and Marquee recorded a loss on extinguishment for the Marquee Notes of approximately $10.7 million.

We used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes to pay the consideration for the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes Cash Tender Offer plus any accrued and unpaid interest and distributed the remainder of such proceeds to Marquee to be applied to the Marquee Notes Cash Tender Offer. On January 3, 2011, Marquee redeemed $88.5 million principal amount at

face value (or $70.1 million accreted value) of the Marquee Notes that remained outstanding after the closing of the Marquee Notes Cash Tender Offer at a price of $823.77 per $1,000.00 face amount (or $792.09 accreted value) of Marquee Notes for a total consideration of $76.1 million in accordance of the terms of the indenture governing the Marquee Notes, as amended pursuant to the consent solicitation. Marquee recorded an additional loss on extinguishment related to the Marquee Notes of approximately $4.1 million. On December 30, 2010, we issued an irrevocable notice of redemption in respect of the $229.9 million principal amount of 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes that remained outstanding after the closing of the Cash Tender Offers, and we redeemed the remaining 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes at a price of $1,055.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes on February 1, 2011 for a total consideration of $255.2 million in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes. We recognized an additional loss on extinguishment of approximately $16.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

Senior Secured Credit Facility Amendment

On December 15, 2010, we amended our senior secured credit facility dated January 26, 2006. The amendments, among other things,: (i) replaced the existing revolving facility with a new five year revolving facility (with higher interest rates than the existing revolving facility); (ii) extended the maturity of term loans held by term lenders who consented to such extension; (iii) increased the interest rates payable to holders of extended term loans; and (iv) included certain other modifications to the senior secured credit facility in connection with the foregoing. For more information regarding the senior secured credit facility, as amended, see "Description of Other Indebtedness—Senior Secured Credit Facility."

Dividend

During December of 2010 and January of 2011, we made dividend payments to Marquee, totaling $261.2 million. Marquee used the available funds to pay the consideration for the Marquee Notes Cash Tender Offer and the redemption of all of Marquee Notes that remained outstanding after the closing of the Marquee Notes Cash Tender Offer.

During September of 2010, we made dividend payments to Marquee of $15.2 million, and Marquee made dividend payments to AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent"), totaling $669,000 (the "Dividend"). Marquee and Parent used the available funds to make a cash interest payment on the Marquee Notes and pay corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Launch of Open Road Films

On March 7, 2011, along with another major theatrical exhibition chain, we announced the launch of Open Road Films, a dynamic acquisition-based domestic theatrical distribution company that will concentrate on wide-release movies. Tim Ortenberg, who has more than 25 years of movie marketing, distribution and acquisition experience, will join as Chief Executive Officer of Open Road Films.

  The pro forma statement of operations and other data for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, which are unaudited, have been calculated by subtracting the pro forma data for the 39 weeks ended December 31, 2009 from the pro forma data for the 52 weeks ended April 1, 2010 and adding the data for the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010. This presentation is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that this presentation provides useful information to investors regarding our recent financial performance, and we view this presentation of the four most recently completed fiscal quarters as a key measurement period for investors to assess our historical results. In addition, our management uses trailing four quarter financial information to evaluate our financial performance for ongoing planning purposes, including a continuous assessment of our financial performance in comparison to budgets and internal projections. We also use trailing four quarter financial data to test compliance with covenants under our senior secured credit facility. This presentation has limits as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information" for further discussion of the calculation of unaudited pro forma financial data for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010.

  During fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, equity in earnings of NCM (including cash distributions) was $34.4 million, $27.7 million and $22.2 million, respectively. During fiscal 2008, equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated entities includes a gain of $18.8 million from the sale of Hoyts General Cinema South America.

  Includes gain of $16.0 million for the 53 weeks ended April 3, 2008 from the sale of our investment in Fandango, Inc. ("Fandango").

  We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) from continuing operations plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future

Other expense for fiscal 2010 is comprised of the loss on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the cash tender offer for our 85/8% senior notes due 2012 conducted in May 2009 and remaining redemption with respect to such notes. Other income for fiscal 2008 is comprised of recoveries for property loss related to Hurricane Katrina.

  Does not reflect reduction in costs we anticipate that we will achieve relating to modifications made to our RealD and IMAX agreements in fiscal 2011. Had the modifications to the RealD and IMAX agreements been in place at the beginning of our fiscal 2010, we would have reduced our operating costs by $8.6 million. Also does not reflect the anticipated synergies and cost savings related to the Kerasotes Acquisition that we expect to derive from increased ticket and concession revenues at the former Kerasotes locations as a result of moving to our operating practices, decreased costs for newspaper advertising and concessions for those locations, and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate overhead functions and elimination of redundancies. Based on the cost savings initiatives we have implemented since the Kerasotes Acquisition, which include reductions in salaries, reductions in newspaper advertising costs, savings achieved in respect of concession costs and theatre operating expenses, as well as reduced rent expense, we estimate that we will achieve annual savings of $12.8 million.
(d)
  The acquisition of Kerasotes contributed approximately $26.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA during the period of May 24, 2010 to December 30, 2010.

  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.

  Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

  •
    does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  •
    does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  •
    does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; excludes tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;
  •
    does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and
  •
    does not reflect management fees that may be paid to our sponsors.

  We had a deficiency of earnings to fixed charges for the 52 weeks ended April 2, 2009 of $78.7 million. After adjusting to give effect to the original notes offering and the use of proceeds thereof, the pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010 would have been 1.0x.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our notes involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following factors, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, in deciding whether to invest in our notes. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include those discussed below.

Risks Related to Our Notes

Our substantial debt could adversely affect our operations and prevent us from satisfying those debt obligations.

We have a significant amount of debt. As of December 30, 2010, on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the 2020 Notes offering and the application of the proceeds thereof, we would have had outstanding $2,172.2 million of indebtedness, of which $600.0 million would have consisted of the 2020 Notes, and the balance would have consisted of $619.1 million under our senior secured credit facility, $587.0 million of our Senior Notes ($600.0 million face amount), $299.4 million of our 2014 Notes and $66.7 million of existing capital and financing lease obligations, and $192.5 million would have been available for borrowing as additional senior debt under our senior secured credit facility. As of December 30, 2010, on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the 2020 Notes offering (and the application of the proceeds thereof), we also had approximately $4.6 billion of undiscounted rental payments under operating leases (with initial base terms of between 10 and 25 years).

The amount of our indebtedness and lease and other financial obligations could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

•
  increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
•
  limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, dividend payments, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes;
•
  require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of lease rentals and principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available to us for operations and any future business opportunities;
•
  limit our planning flexibility for, or ability to react to, changes in our business and the industry; and
•
  place us at a competitive disadvantage with competitors who may have less indebtedness and other obligations or greater access to financing.

If we fail to make any required payment under our senior secured credit facility or to comply with any of the financial and operating covenants contained therein, we would be in default. Lenders under our senior secured credit facility could then vote to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness under the senior secured credit facility and foreclose upon the stock and personal property of our subsidiaries that is pledged to secure the senior secured credit facility. Other creditors might then accelerate other indebtedness. If the lenders under the senior secured credit facility accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness thereunder, we might not have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under the senior secured credit facility or our other indebtedness.

Our indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility bears interest at rates that fluctuate with changes in certain prevailing interest rates (although, subject to certain conditions, such rates may be fixed for certain periods). If interest rates increase, we may be unable to meet our debt service obligations under our senior secured credit facility and other indebtedness.

Table of Contents

Despite current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

The terms of the indentures governing the notes, our senior secured credit facility and our other outstanding debt instruments will not fully prohibit us or our subsidiaries from incurring substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Moreover, none of our indentures, including the indentures governing the notes, impose any limitation on our incurrence of liabilities that are not considered "Indebtedness" under the indentures (such as operating leases), nor do they impose any limitation on liabilities incurred by subsidiaries, if any, that might be designated as "unrestricted subsidiaries." If new debt or other liabilities are added to our and our subsidiaries' current levels, the related risks that we and they now face could intensify.

If our cash flows prove inadequate to service our debt and provide for our other obligations, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or future debt at terms unfavorable to us.

Our ability to make payments on and refinance our debt, including the notes, and other financial obligations and to fund our capital expenditures and acquisitions will depend on our ability to generate substantial operating cash flow. This will depend on our future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control. Our $587.0 million of Senior Notes ($600.0 million face value), $299.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 2014 Notes and the $619.1 million outstanding under our senior secured credit facility all have an earlier maturity date than that of the notes offered hereby, and we will be required to repay or refinance such indebtedness prior to when the notes offered hereby come due. For the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the 2020 Notes offering (and the application of the proceeds thereof), we would have a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 1.0x. If our cash flows were to prove inadequate to meet our debt service, rental and other obligations in the future, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing or future debt, including these notes, on or before maturity, to sell assets or to obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facility and our notes, sell any such assets or obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

In addition, our notes require us to repay or refinance those notes when they come due. If our cash flows were to prove inadequate to meet our debt service, rental and other obligations in the future, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing or future debt, on or before maturity, to sell assets or to obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facility, sell any such assets or obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

The terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness restrict, but do not prohibit us from incurring additional indebtedness. If we are in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the senior secured credit facility and our other outstanding debt instruments, we may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness. If we incur additional indebtedness, the related risks that we face may intensify.

Your right to receive payments on these notes is effectively subordinated to the rights of our existing and future secured creditors and the Senior Subordinated Notes are subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Senior Notes and possibly all of our future borrowings. Further, the guarantees of the notes are effectively subordinated to all of our guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness and the guarantees of our Senior Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of our guarantors' existing senior indebtedness and possibly to all their future borrowings.

Our obligations under the notes and our guarantors' obligations under their guarantees of the notes will be unsecured, but our obligations under our senior secured credit facility and each

13

Table of Contents

guarantor's obligations under their guarantees of the senior secured credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our domestic tangible and intangible assets, including the stock of most of our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries, and the assets and a portion of the stock of certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. If we are declared bankrupt or insolvent, or if we default under our senior secured credit facility, the lenders could declare all of the funds borrowed thereunder, together with accrued interest, immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay such indebtedness, the lenders could foreclose on the pledged assets to the exclusion of holders of the notes, even if an event of default exists under the indenture governing the notes at such time.

Furthermore, if the lenders foreclose and sell the pledged equity interests in any subsidiary guarantor under the notes, then that guarantor will be released from its obligations under its guarantee of the notes automatically and immediately upon such sale. In any such event, because the notes will not be secured by any of our assets or the equity interests in subsidiary guarantors, it is possible that there would be no assets remaining from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets remained, they might be insufficient to satisfy your claims fully.

As of December 30, 2010, the aggregate amount of our secured indebtedness and the secured indebtedness of our subsidiaries was approximately $619.1 million. The indentures governing the notes will permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including senior secured indebtedness.

Our subsidiaries will only be required to guarantee the notes if they guarantee our other indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facility, and in certain circumstances, their guarantees will be subject to automatic release.

Our existing and future subsidiaries will only be required to guarantee the notes if they guarantee other indebtedness of ours or any of the subsidiary guarantors, including our senior secured credit facility. If a subsidiary guarantor is released from its guarantee of such other indebtedness for any reason whatsoever, or if such other guaranteed indebtedness is repaid in full or refinanced with other indebtedness that is not guaranteed by such subsidiary guarantor, then such subsidiary guarantor also will be released from its guarantee of the notes.

Your right to receive payments on these notes could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries declare bankruptcy, liquidate or reorganize.

Some of our subsidiaries (including all of our foreign subsidiaries) will not guarantee the notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us.

As of December 30, 2010, the notes would have been effectively junior to $619.1 million of our senior indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility and $66.7 million of capital and financing lease obligations. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries generated approximately 0.7% of our consolidated revenues for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010 and held approximately 3.2% of our consolidated assets as of December 30, 2010.

The notes are effectively subordinated to the existing and future liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The notes are unsecured senior obligations of AMC Entertainment Inc. and the guarantors and will rank equal in right of payment to AMC Entertainment Inc.'s and the guarantors' other existing and future unsecured senior debt. The notes are not secured by any of our assets. Any future claims of secured lenders with respect to assets securing their loans will be prior to any claim of the holders of the notes with respect to those assets.

14

Table of Contents

Since virtually all of our operations are conducted through subsidiaries, a significant portion of our cash flow and, consequently, our ability to service debt, including the notes, is dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the transfer of funds by those subsidiaries to us in the form of dividends, payments of interest on intercompany indebtedness, or other transfers.

Creditors of our non-guarantor subsidiaries would be entitled to a claim on the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries prior to any claims by us. Consequently, in the event of a liquidation or reorganization of any non-guarantor subsidiary, creditors of the non-guarantor subsidiary are likely to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us, except to the extent that we ourselves are recognized as a creditor of such non-guarantor subsidiary. Any of our claims as the creditor of our non-guarantor subsidiary would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of such non-guarantor subsidiary and any indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiary senior to that held by us.

Our subsidiaries that are not guarantors accounted for approximately $18.7 million, or 0.7%, of our total revenues for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010 and approximately $134.5 million, or 3.2%, of our total assets and approximately $29.6 million, or 0.8%, of our total liabilities as of December 30, 2010.

The agreements governing our indebtedness contain covenants that may limit our ability to take advantage of certain business opportunities advantageous to us.

The agreements governing our indebtedness contain various covenants that limit our ability to, among other things:

•
  incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;
•
  pay dividends or make other distributions to our stockholders;
•
  make restricted payments;
•
  incur liens;
•
  engage in transactions with affiliates; and
•
  enter into business combinations.

These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make acquisitions or needed capital expenditures, withstand economic downturns in our business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise.

Although the indentures for our notes contain a fixed charge coverage test that limits our ability to incur indebtedness, this limitation is subject to a number of significant exceptions and qualifications. Moreover, the indentures do not impose any limitation on our incurrence of capital or finance lease obligations or liabilities that are not considered "Indebtedness" under the indentures (such as operating leases), nor do they impose any limitation on the amount of liabilities incurred by subsidiaries, if any, that might be designated as "unrestricted subsidiaries," which are subsidiaries that we designate, that are not subject to the restrictive covenants contained in the indentures governing our notes.

Furthermore, there are no restrictions in the indentures on our ability to invest in other entities (including unaffiliated entities) and no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to enter into agreements restricting their ability to pay dividends or otherwise transfer funds to us. Also, although the indentures limit our ability to make restricted payments, these restrictions are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications.

15

Table of Contents

We must offer to repurchase the notes upon a change of control, which could also result in an event of default under our senior secured credit facility.

The indentures governing the notes will require that, upon the occurrence of a "change of control," as such term is defined in the indentures, we must make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Certain events involving a change of control will result in an event of default under our senior secured credit facility and may result in an event of default under other indebtedness that we may incur in the future. An event of default under our senior secured credit facility or other indebtedness could result in an acceleration of such indebtedness. See "Description of Senior Notes—Change of Control," "Description of 2020 Notes—Change of Control" and "Description of 2014 Notes—Change of Control." We cannot assure you that we would have sufficient resources to repurchase any of the notes or pay our obligations if the indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility or other indebtedness were accelerated upon the occurrence of a change of control. The acceleration of indebtedness and our inability to repurchase all the tendered notes would constitute events of default under the indentures governing the notes. No assurance can be given that the terms of any future indebtedness will not contain cross default provisions based upon a change of control or other defaults under such debt instruments.

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors.

Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debt of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

•
  received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee; and
•
  was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; or
•
  was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
•
  intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature; or
•
  intended to hinder, delay or defraud creditors.

In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

•
  the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the then fair saleable value of all of its assets; or
•
  if the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debt, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
•
  it could not pay its debts as they become due.

16

Table of Contents

On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that each guarantor, after giving effect to its guarantee of the notes, will not be insolvent, will not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged and will not have incurred debt beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

You cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for the notes.

You cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for the notes. We do not intend to apply for a listing of the notes on a securities exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. We have been advised by each of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (formerly known as Credit Suisse First Boston LLC) and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. that as of the date of this prospectus, each intends to make a market in the notes. Neither is obligated to do so, however, and any market making activities with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, such market making activities will be subject to limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Because J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is our affiliate (and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC may be an affiliate), J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is (and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC may be) required to deliver a current "market making" prospectus and otherwise comply with the registration requirements of the Securities Act in any secondary market sale of the notes. Accordingly, the ability of each of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. to make a market in the notes may, in part, depend on our ability to maintain a current market making prospectus.

In addition, the liquidity of the trading market in the notes, and the market price quoted for the notes, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for high yield securities and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry generally.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have had significant financial losses in recent years.

Prior to fiscal 2007, we had reported net losses in each of the prior nine fiscal years totaling approximately $510.1 million. For fiscal 2007, we reported net earnings of $134.1 million. For fiscal 2008 and 2009, we reported net earnings (losses) of $43.4 million and $(81.2) million, respectively. We reported net earnings of $69.8 million in fiscal 2010. If we experience losses in the future, we may be unable to meet our payment obligations while attempting to expand our theatre circuit and withstand competitive pressures or adverse economic conditions.

We face significant competition for new theatre sites, and we may not be able to build or acquire theatres on terms favorable to us.

We anticipate significant competition from other exhibition companies and financial buyers when trying to acquire theatres, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire such theatres at reasonable prices or on favorable terms. Moreover, some of these possible buyers may be stronger financially than we are. In addition, given our size and market share, as well as our recent experiences with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice in connection with the acquisition of Kerasotes and prior acquisitions, we may be required to dispose of theatres in connection with future acquisitions that we make. As a result of the foregoing, we may not succeed in acquiring theatres or may have to pay more than we would prefer to make an acquisition.

17

Table of Contents

Acquiring or expanding existing circuits and theatres may require additional financing, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain new financing on favorable terms, or at all.

On a pro forma basis, our net capital expenditures aggregated approximately $99.1 million for fiscal 2010. We estimate that our planned capital expenditures will be between $140.0 million and $150.0 million in fiscal 2011 and will continue at this level or higher over the next three years. Actual capital expenditures in fiscal 2011 may differ materially from our estimates. We may have to seek additional financing or issue additional securities to fully implement our growth strategy. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain new financing on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, covenants under our existing indebtedness limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, and the performance of any additional theatres may not be sufficient to service the related indebtedness that we are permitted to incur.

We may be reviewed by antitrust authorities in connection with acquisition opportunities that would increase our number of theatres in markets where we have a leading market share.

Given our size and market share, pursuit of acquisition opportunities that would increase the number of our theatres in markets where we have a leading market share would likely result in significant review by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, and we may be required to dispose of theatres in order to complete such acquisition opportunities. For example, in connection with the acquisition of Kerasotes, we were required to dispose of 11 theatres located in various markets across the United States, including Chicago, Denver and Indianapolis. As a result, we may not be able to succeed in acquiring other exhibition companies or we may have to dispose of a significant number of theatres in key markets in order to complete such acquisitions.

We may not generate sufficient cash flow from our theatre acquisitions to service our indebtedness.

In any acquisition, we expect to benefit from cost savings through, for example, the reduction of overhead and theatre level costs, and from revenue enhancements resulting from the acquisition. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from these acquisitions to service any indebtedness incurred to finance such acquisitions or realize any other anticipated benefits. Nor can there be any assurance that our profitability will be improved by any one or more acquisitions. Any acquisition may involve operating risks, such as:

•
  the difficulty of assimilating and integrating the acquired operations and personnel into our current business;
•
  the potential disruption of our ongoing business;
•
  the diversion of management's attention and other resources;
•
  the possible inability of management to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
•
  the risks of entering markets in which we have little or no experience;
•
  the potential impairment of relationships with employees;
•
  the possibility that any liabilities we may incur or assume may prove to be more burdensome than anticipated; and
•
  the possibility that the acquired theatres do not perform as expected.

Optimizing our theatre circuit through new construction is subject to delay and unanticipated costs.

The availability of attractive site locations is subject to various factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:

•
  local conditions, such as scarcity of space or increase in demand for real estate, demographic changes and changes in zoning and tax laws; and
•
  competition for site locations from both theatre companies and other businesses.

In addition, we typically require 18 to 24 months in the United States and Canada from the time we identify a site to the opening of the theatre. We may also experience cost overruns from delays or other unanticipated costs. Furthermore, these new sites may not perform to our expectations.

Our investment in and revenues from NCM may be negatively impacted by the competitive environment in which NCM operates.

We have maintained an investment in NCM. NCM's in-theatre advertising operations compete with other cinema advertising companies and other advertising mediums including, most notably, television, newspaper, radio and the Internet. There can be no guarantee that in-theatre advertising will continue to attract major advertisers or that NCM's in-theatre advertising format will be favorably received by the theatre-going public. If NCM is unable to generate expected sales of advertising, it may not maintain the level of profitability we hope to achieve, its results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected and our investment in and revenues and dividends from NCM may be adversely impacted.

We may suffer future impairment losses and lease termination charges.

The opening of large megaplexes by us and certain of our competitors has drawn audiences away from some of our older, multiplex theatres. In addition, demographic changes and competitive pressures have caused some of our theatres to become unprofitable. As a result, we may have to close certain theatres or recognize impairment losses related to the decrease in value of particular theatres. We review long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment as part of our annual budgeting process and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We recognized non-cash impairment losses in 1996 and in each fiscal year thereafter except for 2005. Our impairment losses from continuing operations over this period aggregated to $285.0 million. Beginning fiscal 1999 through December 30, 2010, we also incurred theatre and other closure expenses, including theatre lease termination charges aggregating approximately $61.4 million. Deterioration in the performance of our theatres could require us to recognize additional impairment losses and close additional theatres, which could have an adverse effect on the results of our operations. We continually monitor the performance of our theatres, and factors such as changing consumer preferences for filmed entertainment in international markets and our inability to sublease vacant retail space could negatively impact operating results and result in future closures, sales, dispositions and significant theatre and other closure charges prior to expiration of underlying lease agreements.

We must comply with the ADA, which could entail significant cost.

Our theatres must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA. Compliance with the ADA requires that public accommodations "reasonably accommodate" individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to "commercial facilities" conform to accessibility guidelines unless "structurally impracticable" for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. Non-compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, fines, and an award of damages to private litigants or additional capital expenditures to remedy such noncompliance.

Table of Contents

On January 29, 1999, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, or the Department, filed suit alleging that our stadium-style theatres violated the ADA and related regulations. On December 5, 2003, the trial court entered a consent order and final judgment on non-line-of-sight issues under which we agreed to remedy certain violations at our stadium-style theatres and at certain theatres it may open in the future. Currently we estimate that remaining betterments are required at approximately 45 stadium-style theatres. We estimate that the unpaid costs of these betterments will be approximately $16.7 million. The estimate is based on actual costs incurred on remediation work completed to date. As to line-of-sight matters, the trial court approved a settlement on November 29, 2010 requiring us to make settlements over a five year term at an estimated cost of $5.0 million. The actual costs of betterments may vary based on the results of surveys of the remaining theatres. See Note 12—"Commitments and Contingencies" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

We are party to significant litigation.

We are subject to a number of legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot be assured that we will succeed in defending any claims, that judgments will not be entered against us with respect to any litigation or that reserves we may set aside will be adequate to cover any such judgments. If any of these actions or proceedings against us is successful, we may be subject to significant damages awards. For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 12—"Commitments and Contingencies" of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

We may be subject to liability under environmental laws and regulations.

We own and operate facilities throughout the United States and manage or own facilities in several foreign countries and are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of those jurisdictions, particularly laws governing the cleanup of hazardous materials and the management of properties. We might in the future be required to participate in the cleanup of a property that we own or lease, or at which we have been alleged to have disposed of hazardous materials from one of our facilities. In certain circumstances, we might be solely responsible for any such liability under environmental laws, and such claims could be material.

We may not be able to generate additional ancillary revenues.

We intend to continue to pursue ancillary revenue opportunities such as advertising, promotions and alternative uses of our theatres during non-peak hours. Our ability to achieve our business objectives may depend in part on our success in increasing these revenue streams. Some of our U.S. and Canadian competitors have stated that they intend to make significant capital investments in digital advertising delivery, and the success of this delivery system could make it more difficult for us to compete for advertising revenue. In addition, in March 2005 we contributed our cinema screen advertising business to NCM. As such, although we retain board seats and an ownership interest in NCM, we do not control this business, and therefore do not control our revenues attributable to cinema screen advertising. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively generate additional ancillary revenue and our inability to do so could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We depend on key personnel for our current and future performance.

Our current and future performance depends to a significant degree upon the retention of our senior management team and other key personnel. The loss or unavailability to us of any member of our senior management team or a key employee could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we would be able to locate or employ qualified replacements for senior management or key employees on acceptable terms.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We have no control over distributors of the films and our business may be adversely affected if our access to motion pictures is limited or delayed.

We rely on distributors of motion pictures, over whom we have no control, for the films that we exhibit. Major motion picture distributors are required by law to offer and license film to exhibitors, including us, on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Consequently, we cannot assure ourselves of a supply of motion pictures by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must compete for our licenses on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Our business depends on maintaining good relations with these distributors, as this affects our ability to negotiate commercially favorable licensing terms for first-run films or to obtain licenses at all. Our business may be adversely affected if our access to motion pictures is limited or delayed because of deterioration in our relationships with one or more distributors or for some other reason. To the extent that we are unable to license a popular film for exhibition in our theatres, our operating results may be adversely affected.

We depend on motion picture production and performance.

Our ability to operate successfully depends upon the availability, diversity and appeal of motion pictures, our ability to license motion pictures and the performance of such motion pictures in our markets. We license first-run motion pictures, the success of which has increasingly depended on the marketing efforts of the major motion picture studios. Poor performance of, or any disruption in the production of these motion pictures (including by reason of a strike or lack of adequate financing), or a reduction in the marketing efforts of the major motion picture studios, could hurt our business and results of operations. Conversely, the successful performance of these motion pictures, particularly the sustained success of any one motion picture, or an increase in effective marketing efforts of the major motion picture studios, may generate positive results for our business and operations in a specific fiscal quarter or year that may not necessarily be indicative of, or comparable to, future results of operations. In addition, a change in the type and breadth of movies offered by motion picture studios may adversely affect the demographic base of moviegoers.

We are subject, at times, to intense competition.

Our theatres are subject to varying degrees of competition in the geographic areas in which we operate. Competitors may be national circuits, regional circuits or smaller independent exhibitors. Competition among theatre exhibition companies is often intense with respect to the following factors:

•
  Attracting patrons. The competition for patrons is dependent upon factors such as the availability of popular motion pictures, the location and number of theatres and screens in a market, the comfort and quality of the theatres and pricing. Many of our competitors have sought to increase the number of screens that they operate. Competitors have built or may be planning to build theatres in certain areas where we operate, which could result in excess capacity and increased competition for patrons.
•
  Licensing motion pictures. We believe that the principal competitive factors with respect to film licensing include licensing terms, number of seats and screens available for a particular picture, revenue potential and the location and condition of an exhibitor's theatres.
•
  Low barriers to entry. We must compete with exhibitors and others in our efforts to locate and acquire attractive sites for our theatres. In areas where real estate is readily available, there are few barriers to entry that prevent a competing exhibitor from opening a theatre near one of our theatres.

The theatrical exhibition industry also faces competition from other forms of out-of-home entertainment, such as concerts, amusement parks and sporting events and from other distribution

21

Table of Contents

channels for filmed entertainment, such as cable television, pay per view and home video systems and from other forms of in-home entertainment.

Industry-wide screen growth has affected and may continue to affect the performance of some of our theatres.

In recent years, theatrical exhibition companies have emphasized the development of large megaplexes, some of which have as many as 30 screens in a single theatre. The industry-wide strategy of aggressively building megaplexes generated significant competition and rendered many older, multiplex theatres obsolete more rapidly than expected. Many of these theatres are under long-term lease commitments that make closing them financially burdensome, and some companies have elected to continue operating them notwithstanding their lack of profitability. In other instances, because theatres are typically limited use design facilities, or for other reasons, landlords have been willing to make rent concessions to keep them open. In recent years, many older theatres that had closed are being reopened by small theatre operators and in some instances by sole proprietors that are able to negotiate significant rent and other concessions from landlords. As a result, there has been growth in the number of screens in the U.S. and Canadian exhibition industry from 2005 to 2008. This has affected and may continue to affect the performance of some of our theatres. The number of screens in the U.S. and Canadian exhibition industry slightly declined from 2008 to 2009.

An increase in the use of alternative film delivery methods or other forms of entertainment may drive down our attendance and limit our ticket prices.

We compete with other film delivery methods, including network, syndicated cable and satellite television, DVDs and video cassettes, as well as video-on-demand, pay-per-view services and downloads via the Internet. We also compete for the public's leisure time and disposable income with other forms of entertainment, including sporting events, amusement parks, live music concerts, live theatre and restaurants. An increase in the popularity of these alternative film delivery methods and other forms of entertainment could reduce attendance at our theatres, limit the prices we can charge for admission and materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our results of operations may be impacted by shrinking video release windows.

Over the last decade, the average video release window, which represents the time that elapses from the date of a film's theatrical release to the date a film is available on DVD, an important downstream market, has decreased from approximately six months to approximately three to four months. If patrons choose to wait for a DVD release rather than attend a theatre for viewing the film, it may adversely impact our business and results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Film studios are currently considering a premium video on demand product which could also cause the release window to shrink further. We cannot assure you that this release window, which is determined by the film studios, will not shrink further or be eliminated altogether, which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Development of digital technology may increase our capital expenses.

The industry is in the process of converting film-based media to digital-based media. We, along with some of our competitors, have commenced a roll-out of digital equipment for exhibiting feature films and plan to continue the roll-out through our joint venture DCIP. However, significant obstacles exist that impact such a roll-out plan, including the cost of digital projectors, and the supply of projectors by manufacturers. During fiscal 2010, DCIP completed its formation and $660 million funding to facilitate the financing and deployment of digital technology in our theatres. We cannot assure you that DCIP will be able to obtain sufficient additional financing to be able to purchase and lease to us the number of digital projectors ultimately needed for our roll-out or that the

22

Table of Contents

manufacturers will be able to supply the volume of projectors needed for our roll-out. As a result, our roll-out of digital equipment could be delayed or not completed at all.

General political, social and economic conditions can reduce our attendance.

Our success depends on general political, social and economic conditions and the willingness of consumers to spend money at movie theatres. If going to motion pictures becomes less popular or consumers spend less on concessions, which accounted for 27% of our revenues in fiscal 2010, our operations could be adversely affected. In addition, our operations could be adversely affected if consumers' discretionary income falls as a result of an economic downturn. Political events, such as terrorist attacks, could cause people to avoid our theatres or other public places where large crowds are in attendance.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We derived the following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information by applying pro forma adjustments attributable to the Kerasotes Acquisition to our historical consolidated financial statements and the Kerasotes financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

These adjustments include:

•
  the acquisition on May 24, 2010 of substantially all of the assets of Kerasotes for an estimated purchase price of $281.4 million, which includes cash acquired and working capital and other purchase price adjustments; and
•
  the net increase in our theatre and screen count by 83 and 812, respectively from the Kerasotes Acquisition, including the impact of theatres divested as required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010, the 52 weeks ended April 1, 2010 and the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010 gives effect to the Kerasotes Acquisition as if it had occurred on April 3, 2009. We describe the assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

The pro forma statement of operations and other data for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, which are unaudited, have been calculated by subtracting the pro forma data for the 39 weeks ended December 31, 2009 from the pro forma data for the 52 weeks ended April 1, 2010 and adding the data for the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010. This presentation is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that this presentation provides useful information to investors regarding our recent financial performance, and we view this presentation of the four most recently completed fiscal quarters as a key measurement period for investors to assess our historical results. In addition, our management uses trailing four quarter financial information to evaluate our financial performance for ongoing planning purposes, including a continuous assessment of our financial performance in comparison to budgets and internal projections. We also use trailing four quarter financial data to test compliance with covenants under our senior secured credit facility. This presentation has limits as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and should not be considered indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the transactions been consummated on the dates or for the periods indicated and do not purport to represent consolidated balance sheet data or statement of operations data or other financial data as of any future date or any future period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and the Kerasotes financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Kerasotes Acquisition

On May 24, 2010, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets (92 theatres and 928 screens) of Kerasotes. Kerasotes operated 95 theatres and 972 screens in mid-sized, suburban and metropolitan markets, primarily in the Midwest. More than three quarters of the Kerasotes theatres feature stadium seating and almost 90% have been built since 1994. We acquired Kerasotes based on their highly complementary geographic presence in certain key markets. Additionally, we expect to realize synergies and cost savings related to the Kerasotes acquisition as a result of moving to our operating practices, decreasing costs for newspaper advertising and concessions and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate related functions and elimination of redundancies. The purchase price for the Kerasotes theatres paid in cash at closing was $276.8 million, net of cash acquired, and was subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. We paid working capital and other purchase price adjustments of $3.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, based on the final closing date working capital and deferred revenue amounts, and have included this amount as part of the total estimated purchase price.

The acquisition of Kerasotes is being treated as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including bid prices from potential buyers and a preliminary valuation assessment which falls under Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The allocation of purchase price is subject to changes as an appraisal of both tangible and intangible assets and liabilities is finalized and additional information becomes available, however, we do not expect material changes. The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price:

(In thousands) |  | Total |

Cash |  | $ | 809 |
Receivables, net(1) |  |  | 3,832 |

(1)
  Receivables consist of trade receivables recorded at fair value. We did not acquire any other class of receivables as a result of the acquisition of Kerasotes.
(2)
  Intangible assets consist of certain Kerasotes' trade names, a non-compete agreement, and favorable leases. See Note 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for

the 39-week period ended December 30, 2010 included elsewhere in this prospectus for further information.

(3)
  Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations. Amounts recorded for goodwill are not subject to amortization and are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
(4)
  Other long-term liabilities consist of certain theatre and ground leases that have been identified as unfavorable.

During the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010, we incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $12.1 million included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in our consolidated statements of operations. We have expensed acquisition-related transaction costs as incurred pursuant to ASC 805-10.

In connection with the acquisition of Kerasotes, we divested of seven Kerasotes theatres with 85 screens as required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. We also sold one vacant theatre that had previously been closed by Kerasotes. Proceeds from the divested theatres exceeded the carrying amount of such theatres by $10.7 million which was recorded as a reduction to goodwill.

We were also required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice to divest of four legacy AMC theatres with 57 screens. We recorded a gain on disposition of assets of $10.1 million for one divested legacy theatre with 14 screens during the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010, which reduced operating expenses by approximately $10.1 million. Additionally, we acquired two theatres with 26 screens that were received in exchange for three of the legacy AMC theatres with 43 screens.

A reconciliation of the $275.0 million purchase price as set forth in the acquisition agreement to the total estimated purchase price is as follows:

Base Purchase Price |  | $ | 275,000,000 |
Swap Termination Costs |  |  | 1,798,000 |
Closing Date Working Capital Amount |  |  | 4,617,000 |
Total estimated purchase price |  | $ | 281,415,000 |

Methods and Significant Assumptions Used in Valuation

Leases

To evaluate whether the individual standard operating leases being acquired were either favorable or unfavorable, a representative sample of leases from both Kerasotes' and AMC's theatre portfolio was analyzed to develop an estimate of current market terms. Rent, as a percentage of revenue, was considered an appropriate metric to estimate a market term.

Theatres considered at-market were the theatres in which rent-to-revenue ratio was within a calculated a range equal to one standard deviation around the average. As a secondary test, a comparison of all of the theatres' positive average annual operating cash flow ("OCF") margin was done. Similar to the rent to revenue analysis, a one standard deviation range from the average OCF margin was developed to represent reasonable profitability. Certain theatres within this at-market rent range were deemed favorable or unfavorable depending on the strength of their OCF margin.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

To calculate the value of the favorable and unfavorable leases, the expected rent to be paid annually was compared to a normalized rent level based on the average rent-to-revenue ratio discussed above. The rent differential was calculated over the remaining term of the individual leases for the identified theatres. The difference in rent was then discounted at a rate of return based on rates for similar real property.

Trade Name

The Royalty Savings or Relief-from-Royalty Method, an income approach (Level 3 fair value measurement), was used to estimate the Fair Value of the ShowPlace and Star trade names. The Royalty Savings Method, estimates the value of a trade name by capitalizing the royalties saved because we own the trade name. The relief from royalty analysis is comprised of two primary steps including: i) the determination of the appropriate royalty rate, and ii) the subsequent application of the relief from royalty method.

The seller has retained the "Kerasotes" name but most of the theatres were branded as either ShowPlace or Star. Therefore we valued the ShowPlace and Star trade names. We plan to preserve the use all of the ShowPlace and Star Theatres' trade names on a total of 46 theatres.

The royalty savings was calculated by multiplying the royalty rate by the annual revenues for all of the theatres with the ShowPlace or Star names. The royalty rate was established based on various quantitative and qualitative factors. The present value of the after-tax royalty savings was determined using a rate for intangible assets.

Non-Compete Agreement

As part of the Kerasotes Acquisition, certain management members of the remaining Kerasotes company ("Potential Competitors") entered into five year non-competition agreements, which prevent them from competing against the sold Kerasotes theatres and all other AMC theatres over the duration of the agreement. The Differential Cash Flow Method, an income approach (Level 3 fair value measurement), was used to value the Non-Competition Agreements.

Key assumptions used in the Differential Cash Flow Method included assumptions regarding theatre cash flows with and without the non-compete agreements in place, probabilities regarding competitors reentering the market, and a discount rate used to present value cash flows, appropriate for intangible assets.

Our preliminary allocation of purchase price as of May 24, 2010 consisted primarily of:

(a)
  Receivables and Current assets acquired from Kerasotes, which excluded $26.7 million of assets in the Kerasotes unaudited condensed statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2010 included elsewhere in this prospectus as such assets were not acquired. Other current assets include $9.0 million of property, net for two theatres held for sale;
(b)
  Property, net which reflects the estimated fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment, leasehold improvements and real estate;
(c)
  Intangible assets, net comprised principally of six theatres with favorable leases of $5.6 million, the ShowPlace and Star trade names of $5.1 million and noncompete agreements with Kerasotes management of $6.4 million;

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(d)
  Other long-term assets is comprised of Land and Buildings at certain inactive theatre locations;
(e)
  Accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily comprised of utility accruals, trade payables, accrued payroll and payroll taxes, and accrued property taxes. We did not assign any fair value to $0.3 million of "Current portion of developer reimbursements", $0.7 million of "Current portion of long-term debt to Parent" or $7.3 million of "Current portion of deferred gain" that are listed on the Kerasotes March 31, 2010 unaudited condensed statement of assets and liabilities included elsewhere in this prospectus as the "Current portion of developer reimbursements" represented deferred rent which is reduced to $0 fair value in purchase accounting, the "Long-term debt to Parent" was not a liability that was assumed in the acquisition and the deferred gain related to Kerasotes sale lease back transactions is reduced to $0 in purchase accounting;
(f)
  Deferred revenues are for advance ticket sales, gift card sales and other scrip. As part of its fair value estimation for deferred revenue amounts, we reduced the historical amounts recorded by Kerasotes as of May 24, 2010 by $2.6 million to reflect the expected non-presentment rate based on our accounting policy for these sales. We determined that a $2.6 million reduction to deferred revenues was appropriate based upon our review and evaluation of Kerasotes' actual historical experience compared to the Company's actual historical experience. This change conforms Kerasotes non-presentment rate for advance ticket sales and gift card sales used to calculate "breakage" to our accounting policy by multiplying Kerasotes' historical cumulative gift card sales and advance ticket sales by our non-presentment rate for these types of items where Kerasotes had not recorded any gift card or advance ticket sale breakage. We believe these non-presentment rates are appropriate, as (i) we believe the characteristics of the historic Kerasotes customer base that purchases gift cards and advance tickets to be similar to our historic customer base, (ii) we have a longer historical record for selling gift cards than Kerasotes, and our more fully developed historical customer data supports the non-presentment rate we used and (iii) we both use the same third party provider to administer gift cards and advance tickets;
(g)
  Capital and financing lease obligations were recorded for one location accounted for by Kerasotes as a sale leaseback transaction following the financing method. Deferred rent for two theatre locations totaling $4.1 million included in the Kerasotes March 31, 2010 unaudited condensed statement of assets and liabilities included elsewhere in this prospectus within the line item called "Developer reimbursements" were assigned a fair value of $0 as deferred rent is reduced to $0 fair value in purchase accounting; and
(h)
  Other long-term liabilities comprised of the estimated fair value of 14 theatres with unfavorable leases acquired from Kerasotes of $34.0 million. We did not assign any fair value to $19.9 million of "Long-term debt to Parent", $111.2 million of "Deferred gain from sale-leaseback transactions" or $7.4 million of "Deferred rent and other long-term liabilities" included in the Kerasotes March 31, 2010 unaudited condensed statement of assets and liabilities included elsewhere in this prospectus as the "Long-term debt to Parent" was not a liability that was assumed in the acquisition and the "Deferred gain" related to Kerasotes sale lease back transactions and deferred rent is reduced to $0 in purchase accounting.

The $777,000 reduction to revenues represents Kerasotes' historical gift certificate breakage, which we determined from Kerasotes' disclosure of the amount of breakages for its year ended December 31, 2009. We also determined that Kerasotes recorded breakage annually and that on an

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

interim basis, there was no breakage recorded; therefore, the amounts for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010 and the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010 are $0.

We determined the estimated useful lives for Buildings and improvements, Furniture fixtures and equipment and Leasehold improvements using our accounting policy for those classes of assets. Building lives assigned were approximately 20 years, Leasehold improvement lives reflect the shorter of the base terms of the corresponding lease agreements or the expected useful lives of the assets. Furniture, fixtures and equipment lives range from 1 to 10 years. The seven year estimated useful life represents the weighted average life for the assets acquired and the majority of the assets acquired were Furniture, fixtures and equipment and Leasehold improvements. Lives for favorable leases reflect the remaining base term of the lease agreements. The five year life for the non-compete agreement reflects the term of the agreement.

The pro forma adjustments for depreciation and amortization were determined by first removing all of the Kerasotes recorded historical amounts of depreciation and amortization which were recorded by Kerasotes based on their historical cost and accounting policies. We then recomputed depreciation and amortization for the appropriate period of time for each period presented to replace the historical amounts recorded by Kerasotes with depreciation and amortization we calculated based on the estimated fair values recorded in purchase accounting divided by the remaining useful lives on a straight-line basis.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward- looking statements. Please see "Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to these statements. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section shall have the meanings ascribed to them elsewhere in this prospectus. Terms defined in this section shall only be used as such for the purposes of this section.

Overview

We are one of the world's leading theatrical exhibition companies. As of December 30, 2010, we owned, operated or held interests in 361 theatres and 5,203 screens, approximately 99%, or 5,148, of our screens located in the U.S. and Canada, and 1%, or 55, of our screens in China (Hong Kong), France and the United Kingdom.

During the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010, we acquired 92 theatres with 928 screens from Kerasotes in the U.S. In connection with the acquisition of Kerasotes, we divested of 11 theatres with 142 screens as required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and acquired two theatres with 26 screens that were received in exchange for three of the divested theatres above with 43 screens. We also permanently closed 21 theatres with 142 screens in the U.S., temporarily closed and reopened four theatres with 41 screens in the U.S. as part of a remodeling project to allow for dine-in theatres at these locations. We opened one new managed theatre with 14 screens in the U.S. and acquired one theatre with 6 screens in the U.S. in the ordinary course of business.

Our Theatrical Exhibition revenues and income are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre concession sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, rental of theatre auditoriums, fees and other revenues generated from the sale of gift cards and packaged tickets, on-line ticketing fees and arcade games located in theatre lobbies.

Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license "first-run" motion pictures from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors. We license films on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on either aggregate terms established prior to the opening of the picture or on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture run. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office gross or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.

Concessions sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Concessions items include popcorn, soft drinks, candy, hot dogs and other products. We negotiate prices for our concessions products and supplies directly with concessions vendors on a national or regional basis to obtain high volume discounts or bulk rates and marketing incentives.

Our revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of motion picture releases by distributors. The most marketable motion pictures are usually released during the summer and the year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business can be seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Table of Contents

During fiscal 2010, films licensed from our six largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 84% of our U.S. and Canada admissions revenues. Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor's motion pictures in any given year.

During the period from 1990 to 2009, the annual number of first-run motion pictures released by distributors in the United States ranged from a low of 370 in 1995 to a high of 633 in 2008, according to Motion Picture Association of America 2009 MPAA Theatrical Market Statistics. The number of digital 3D films released annually increased to a high of 20 from a low of 0 during this same time period.

We continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit by adding new screens through new builds (including expansions) and acquisitions and by disposing of older screens through closures and sales. We are an industry leader in the development and operation of megaplex theatres, typically defined as a theatre having 14 or more screens and offering amenities to enhance the movie-going experience, such as stadium seating providing unobstructed viewing, digital sound and enhanced seat design. We have increased our 3D screens by 446 to 810 screens and our IMAX screens by 29 to 107 screens since December 31, 2009; and as of December 30, 2010, approximately 15.6% of our screens were 3D screens and approximately 2.1% of our screens were IMAX screens.

Significant Events

During January of 2011, AMCE made dividend payments to Marquee, totaling $76.1 million. Marquee used the available funds to pay the consideration for the Marquee Notes Cash Tender Offer and the redemption of all of Marquee Notes that remained outstanding after the closing of the Marquee Notes Cash Tender Offer.

On December 15, 2010, we completed the offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes. Concurrently with the 2020 Notes offering, we launched a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of our then outstanding $325.0 million aggregate principal amount 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the "2016 Senior Subordinated Notes") at a purchase price of $1,031 plus a $30 consent fee for each $1,000 of principal amount of currently outstanding 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes validly tendered and accepted by us on or before the early tender date (the "Cash Tender Offer"). We used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes to pay the consideration for the Cash Tender Offer plus accrued and unpaid interest on $95.1 million principal amount of Notes due 2016 validly tendered. We recorded a loss on extinguishment related to the Cash Tender Offer of $7.6 million in other expense during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010, which included previously capitalized deferred financing fees of $1.7 million, a tender offer and consent fee paid to the holders of $5.8 million and other expenses of $149,000. We intend to redeem the remaining $229.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes at a price of $1,055 per $1,000 principal amount on or after February 1, 2011 in accordance with the terms of the indenture and have classified the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes as current maturities of corporate borrowings.

Concurrently with the 2020 Notes offering and Cash Tender Offer, Marquee Holdings Inc. ("Marquee" or "Holdings"), our direct parent, launched a tender offer for its 12% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 (the "Marquee Notes") at a purchase price of $797.00 plus a $30.00 consent fee for each $1,000.00 face amount (or $792.09 accreted value) of currently outstanding Marquee Notes validly tendered and accepted by Marquee on or before the early tender date (together with the Cash Tender Offer, the "Cash Tender Offers"). As of December 30, 2010, Marquee had purchased $215.5 million principal amount at face value (or $170.7 million accreted value) of the Marquee Notes for a total consideration of $185.0 million. Marquee recorded a loss on extinguishment for the Marquee Notes of approximately $10.7 million.

We used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes to pay the consideration for the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes Cash Tender Offer plus any accrued and unpaid interest and distributed the remainder of such proceeds to Marquee to be applied to the Marquee Notes Cash Tender Offer. On January 3, 2011, Marquee redeemed $88.5 million principal amount at face value (or $70.1 million accreted value) of the Marquee Notes that remained outstanding after the closing of the Marquee Notes Cash Tender Offer at a price of $823.77 per $1,000.00 face amount (or $792.09 accreted value) of Marquee Notes for a total consideration of $76.1 million in accordance of the terms of the indenture governing the Marquee Notes, as amended pursuant to the consent solicitation. Marquee recorded an additional loss on extinguishment related to the Marquee Notes of approximately $4.1 million. On December 30, 2010, we issued an irrevocable notice of redemption in respect of the $229.9 million principal amount of 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes that remained outstanding after the closing of the Cash Tender Offers, and we redeemed the remaining 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes at a price of $1,055.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes on or after February 1, 2011 for a total consideration of $255.2 million in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes. We recognized an additional loss on extinguishment of approximately $16.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

On December 15, 2010, we entered into a third amendment to our senior secured credit facility dated as of January 26, 2006 to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity of the term loans held by accepting lenders of $476.6 million aggregate principal amount of term loans from January 26, 2013 to December 15, 2016 and to increase the interest rate with respect to such term loans, (ii) replace our existing revolving credit facility with a new five-year revolving credit facility (with higher interest rates and a longer maturity than the existing revolving credit facility), and (iii) amend certain of our existing covenants therein. We recorded a loss on the modification of our senior secured credit facility of $3.4 million in other expense during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010, which included third party modification fees of $2.9 million, previously capitalized deferred financing fees related to the revolving credit facility of $367,000, and other expenses of $161,000.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010, AMCE made dividend payments to Marquee of $200.2 million, and Marquee made dividend payments to AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent") totaling $0.7 million (the "Dividend"). Marquee and Parent used the available funds to make a cash interest payment on the Marquee Notes, the Cash Tender Offers, and pay corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.

All of our National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM") membership units are redeemable for, at the option of NCM, cash or shares of common stock of National CineMedia, Inc. ("NCM, Inc.") on a share-for-share basis. On August 18, 2010, we sold 6,500,000 shares of common stock of NCM, Inc., in an underwritten public offering for $16.00 per share and reduced our related investment in NCM by $36.7 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. Net proceeds received on this sale were $99.8 million, after deducting related underwriting fees and professional and consulting costs of $4.2 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $63.1 million. In addition, on September 8, 2010, we sold 155,193 shares of NCM, Inc. to the underwriters to cover over allotments for $16.00 per share and reduced our related investment in NCM by $867,000, the average carrying amount of the shares owned. Net proceeds received on this sale were $2.4 million, after deducting related underwriting fees and professional and consulting costs of $99,000, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.5 million.

On May 24, 2010, we completed the acquisition of 92 theatres and 928 screens from Kerasotes (the "Kerasotes Acquisition"). Kerasotes operated 95 theatres and 972 screens in mid-sized, suburban and metropolitan markets, primarily in the Midwest. More than three quarters of the Kerasotes theatres feature stadium seating and almost 90% have been built since 1994. The purchase price for the Kerasotes theatres paid in cash at closing was $276.8 million, net of cash acquired, and was subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. We paid working capital and other purchase price adjustments of $3.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, based on the final closing

date working capital and deferred revenue amounts and have included this amount as part of the total estimated purchase price. The acquisition of Kerasotes significantly increased our size. For additional information about the Kerasotes Acquisition, see the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the 39-week period ended December 30, 2010 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

On March 10, 2010, Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, LLC ("DCIP") completed its financing transactions for the deployment of digital projection systems to nearly 14,000 movie theatre screens across North America, including screens operated or managed by the Company, Regal Entertainment Group ("Regal") and Cinemark Holdings, Inc ("Cinemark"). At closing, we contributed 342 projection systems that we owned to DCIP, which we recorded at estimated fair value as part of an additional investment in DCIP of $21.8 million. We also made cash investments in DCIP of $840,000 at closing and DCIP made a distribution of excess cash to us after the closing date and prior to year-end of $1.3 million. We recorded a loss on contribution of the 342 projection systems of $563,000, based on the difference between estimated fair value and our carrying value on the date of contribution. On March 26, 2010, we acquired 117 digital projectors from third party lessors for $6.8 million and sold them together with seven digital projectors that we owned to DCIP for $6.6 million. We recorded a loss on the sale of these 124 systems to DCIP of $697,000. As of April 1, 2010, we operated 568 digital projection systems leased from DCIP pursuant to operating leases and anticipate that we will have deployed 4,000 of these systems in our existing theatres over the next three to four years.

The additional digital projection systems will allow us to add additional 3D screens to our circuit where we are generally able to charge a higher admission price than 2D. The digital projection systems leased from DCIP and its affiliates will replace most of our existing 35 millimeter projection systems in our U.S. theatres. We are examining the estimated depreciable lives for our existing 35 millimeter projection systems, with a net book value of $8.6 million as of December 30, 2010, and expect to adjust the depreciable lives in order to accelerate the depreciation of these existing 35 millimeter projection systems, so that such systems are fully depreciated at the end of the digital projection system deployment timeframe. We currently estimate that the increase to depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the acceleration will be $2.7 million, $0.3 million and $1.0 million in fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Upon full deployment of the digital projection systems, we expect the cash rent expense of such equipment to approximate $4.5 million, annually, and the deferred rent expense to approximate $5.5 million, annually, which will be recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as "Operating expense."

On June 9, 2009, we completed the offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes due 2019"). Concurrently with the notes offering, we launched a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of our then outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 85/8% Senior Notes due 2012 (the "Fixed Notes due 2012") at a purchase price of $1,000 plus a $30 consent fee for each $1,000 of principal amount of currently outstanding Fixed Notes due 2012 validly tendered and accepted by us on or before the early tender date (the "Cash Tender Offer"). We used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes due 2019 to pay the consideration for the Cash Tender Offer plus accrued and unpaid interest on $238.1 million principal amount of the Fixed Notes due 2012. We recorded a loss on extinguishment related to the Cash Tender Offer of $10.8 million in other expense during the 52 weeks ended April 1, 2010, which included previously capitalized deferred financing fees of $3.3 million consent fee paid to holders of $7.1 million and other expenses of $372,000. On August 15, 2009, we redeemed the remaining $11.9 million of Fixed Notes due 2012 at a price of $1,021.56 per $1,000 principal in accordance with the terms of the indenture. We recorded a loss of $450,000 in Other expense related to the extinguishment of the remaining Fixed Notes due 2012 during the 52 weeks ended April 1, 2010, which included previously capitalized deferred financing fees of $157,000, a consent fee paid to the holders of $257,000 and other expenses of $36,000.

We acquired Grupo Cinemex, S.A. de C.V. ("Cinemex") in January 2006 as part of a larger acquisition of Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation. We do not operate any other theatres in Mexico and have divested of the majority of our other investments in international theatres in Japan, Hong Kong, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay over the past several years as part of our overall business strategy.

On December 29, 2008, we sold all of our interests in Cinemex, which then operated 44 theatres with 493 screens primarily in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area, to Entretenimiento GM de Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("Entretenimiento"). The purchase price received at the date of the sale and in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement was $248.1 million. During the year ended April 1, 2010, we received payments of $4.3 million for purchase price adjustments in respect of tax payments and refunds, and a working capital calculation and post closing adjustments. Additionally, we estimate that as of April 1, 2010, we are contractually entitled to receive an additional $8.8 million in purchase price adjustments in respect of tax payments and refunds. While we believe we are entitled to these amounts from Cinemex, the collection thereof will require litigation, which was initiated by us on April 30, 2010. Resolution could take place over a prolonged period. As a result of the litigation, we have established an allowance for doubtful accounts related to this receivable in the amount of $7.5 million as of April 1, 2010 and further directly charged off $1.4 million of certain amounts as uncollectible with an offsetting charge of $8.9 million recorded to loss on disposal included as a component of discontinued operations in fiscal 2010.

The operations and cash flows of the Cinemex theatres have been eliminated from our ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction. We do not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Cinemex theatres. The results of operations of the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

In May 2007, we disposed of our investment in Fandango, accounted for using the cost method, for total proceeds of $20.4 million, of which $18.0 million was received in May and September 2007 and $2.4 million was received in November 2008, and have recorded a gain on the sale, included in investment income, of approximately $16.0 million during fiscal 2008 and $2.4 million during fiscal 2009. In July 2007, we disposed of our investment in Hoyts General Cinemas South America ("HGCSA"), an entity that operated 17 theatres in South America, for total proceeds of approximately $28.7 million and recorded a gain on the sale, included in equity earnings of non-consolidated entities, of approximately $18.8 million.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value method. The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: common stock value on the grant date, risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected volatility, and dividend yield. We have elected to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of "plain vanilla" share option grants as we do not have enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate. Compensation cost is calculated on the date of the grant and then amortized over the vesting period.

We granted 38,876.7 options on December 23, 2004, 600 options on January 26, 2006, 15,980.5 options on March 6, 2009 and 4,786 options on May 28, 2009 to employees to acquire our common stock. The fair value of these options on their respective grant dates was $22.4 million, $138,000, $2.1 million, and $0.65 million, respectively. All of these options currently outstanding are equity classified.

On July 8, 2010, we granted 6,377 options and 6,693 shares of restricted stock. The fair value of these options and restricted shares on their respective grant dates was $1.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively. All of these options currently outstanding are equity classified.

Table of Contents

The common stock value used to estimate the fair value of each option on the December 23, 2004 grant date was based upon a contemporaneous third party arms-length transaction on December 23, 2004 in which we sold 769,350 shares of our common stock for $1,000 per share to unrelated parties. The common stock value used to estimate the fair value of each option on the March 6, 2009 grant date was based upon a contemporaneous valuation reflecting market conditions as of January 1, 2009, a purchase of 2,542 shares by Parent for $323.95 per share from our former Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his Separation and General Release Agreement dated February 23, 2009 and a sale of 385.862 shares by Parent to our current Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his Employment Agreement dated February 23, 2009 for $323.95 per share.

On June 11, 2007, Marquee Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings continuing as the surviving corporation (the "holdco merger"). In connection with this, Parent adopted an amended and restated 2004 stock option plan (formerly known as the 2004 Stock Option Plan of Marquee Holdings Inc.). The option exercise price per share of $1,000 was adjusted to $491 pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the 2004 Stock Option Plan to give effect to the payment of a one time non-recurring dividend paid by Parent on June 15, 2007 of $652.8 million to the holders of its 1,282,750 shares of common stock. The Company determined that there was no incremental value transferred as a result of the modification and as a result, no additional compensation cost to recognize.

The common stock value of $339.59 per share used to estimate the fair value of each option on the May 28, 2009 grant date was based upon a valuation prepared by management on behalf of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Management chose not to obtain a contemporaneous valuation performed by an unrelated valuation specialist as management believed that the valuation obtained at January 1, 2009 and the subsequent stock sales and purchases were recent and could easily be updated and rolled forward without engaging a third party and incurring additional costs. Additionally, management considered that the number of options granted generated a relatively low amount of annual expense over 5 years ($130,100) and that any differences in other estimates of fair value would not be expected to materially impact the related annual expense. The common stock value was estimated based on current estimates of annual operating cash flows multiplied by the current average peer group multiple for similar publicly traded competitors of 6.7x less net indebtedness, plus the current fair value of our investment in NCM. Management compared the estimated stock value of $339.59 per share with the $323.95 value per share discussed above related to the March 6, 2009 option grant and noted the overall increase in value was primarily due the following:

March 6, 2009 grant value per share |  | $ | 323.95 |
Decline in net indebtedness |  |  | 20.15 |
Increase in value of investment in NCM |  |  | 37.10 |
Increase due to peer group multiple |  |  | 47.89 |
Decrease in annual operating cash flows |  |  | (89.50 | )
May 28, 2009 grant value per share |  | $ | 339.59 |

The common stock value of $752 per share used to estimate the fair value of each option and restricted share on July 8, 2010 was based upon a contemporaneous valuation reflecting market conditions. The estimated grant date fair value for 5,354 shares of restricted stock (time vesting) and 1,339 shares of restricted stock (performance vesting, where the performance targets were established at the grant date following ASC 718-10-55-95) was based on $752 per shares and was $4.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The estimated grant date fair value of the options granted on 5,354 shares was $293.72 per share, or $1.6 million, and was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option exercise price was $752 per share, and the estimated fair value of the shares was

44

Table of Contents

$752, resulting in $0 intrinsic value for the option grants. As of December 30, 2010, total unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards and options under both the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2004 Stock Option Plan was $6.7 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates, and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates, and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. A listing of some of the more critical accounting estimates that we believe merit additional discussion and aid in better understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are as follows.

Impairment charges. We evaluate goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. Impairment for other long lived assets (including finite lived intangibles) is done whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that these assets may not be fully recoverable. We have invested material amounts of capital in goodwill and other intangible assets in addition to other long lived assets. We operate in a very competitive business environment and our revenues are highly dependent on movie content supplied by film producers. In addition, it is not uncommon for us to closely monitor certain locations where operating performance may not meet our expectations. Because of these and other reasons over the past three years we have recorded material impairment charges primarily related to long lived assets. For the last three years, impairment charges were $3.8 million in fiscal 2010, $73.5 million in fiscal 2009 and $8.9 million in fiscal year 2008. There are a number of estimates and significant judgments that are made by management in performing these impairment evaluations. Such judgments and estimates include estimates of future revenues, cash flows, capital expenditures, and the cost of capital, among others. Management believes we have used reasonable and appropriate business judgments. These estimates determine whether an impairment has been incurred and also quantify the amount of any related impairment charge. Given the nature of our business and our recent history, future impairments are possible and they may be material based upon business conditions that are constantly changing.

Our recorded goodwill was $1,913.9 million, $1,814.7 million and $1,814.7 million as of December 30, 2010, April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. We evaluate goodwill and our trademark for impairment annually during our fourth fiscal quarter and any time an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value for a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Our goodwill is recorded in our Theatrical Exhibition operating segment, which is also the reporting unit for purposes of evaluating recorded goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value we are required to reallocate the fair value of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. We determine fair value by using an enterprise valuation methodology determined by applying multiples to cash flow estimates less net indebtedness, which we believe is an appropriate method to determine fair value. There is considerable management judgment with respect to cash flow estimates and appropriate multiples and discount rates

45

Table of Contents

to be used in determining fair value, and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The estimated fair value of our Theatrical Exhibition reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately $500.0 million, which we believe is substantial. While the fair value of our Theatrical Exhibition operations exceed the carrying value at the present time, small changes in certain assumptions can have a significant impact on fair value. Facts and circumstances could change, including further deterioration of general economic conditions, the number of motion pictures released by the studios, and the popularity of films supplied by our distributors. These and/or other factors could result in changes to the assumptions underlying the calculation of fair value which could result in future impairment of our remaining goodwill.

We evaluated our enterprise value as of April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009 based on a contemporaneous valuation reflecting market conditions. Two valuation approaches were utilized; the income approach and the market approach. The income approach provides an estimate of enterprise value by measuring estimated annual cash flows over a discrete projection period and applying a present value rate to the cash flows. The present value of the cash flows is then added to the present value equivalent of the residual value of the business to arrive at an estimated fair value of the business. The residual value represents the present value of the projected cash flows beyond the discrete projection period. The discount rate is determined using a rate of return deemed appropriate for the risk of achieving the projected cash flows. The market approach used publicly traded peer companies and reported transactions in the industry. Due to conditions and the relatively few sale transactions, the market approach was used to provide additional support for the value achieved in the income approach.

Key rates used in the income approach for fiscal 2010 and 2009 follow:

Description |  | Fiscal 2010 |  | Fiscal 2009
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Discount rate |  | 9.0% |  | 10.0%
Market risk premium |  | 5.5% |  | 6.0%
Hypothetical capital structure: Debt/Equity |  | 40%/60% |  | 40%/60%

The discount rate is an estimate of the weighted average cost of debt and equity capital. The required return on common equity was estimated by adding the risk-free required rate of return, the market risk premium (which is adjusted for the Company's estimated market volatility, or beta), and small stock premium. The discount rate used for fiscal 2010 was 9.0% and the discount rate used for fiscal 2009 was 10.0%. The lower discount rate was due to a number of factors, such as a decrease in corporate bond yields, decrease in betas, and decrease in market risk premiums, given current market conditions.

The aggregate annual cash flows were determined based on management projections on a theatre-by-theatre basis further adjusted by non-theatre cash flows. The projections considered various factors including theatre lease terms, a reduction in attendance, and a reduction in capital investments in new theatres, given current market conditions and the resulting difficulty with obtaining contracts for new-builds. Cash flow estimates included in the analysis reflect our best estimate of the impact of the roll-out of digital projectors throughout our theatre circuit. Because we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Kerasotes on December 9, 2009 and consummated the acquisition on May 24, 2010, the valuation study includes our projected cash flows for Kerasotes. Based on the seasonal nature of our business, fluctuations in attendance from period to period are expected and we do not believe that the results would significantly decrease our projections for the full fiscal year 2011, or impact our conclusions regarding goodwill impairment. The anticipated acceleration of depreciation of the 35mm equipment described above under "—Significant Events" does not have an impact on our estimation of

46

Table of Contents

fair value as depreciation does not impact our projected available cash flow. The expected increases in rent expense upon full deployment of the digital projection systems also described under "—Significant Events" were included in the cash flow projections used to estimate our fair value as a part of our fiscal 2010 annual goodwill impairment analysis, and had the impact of reducing the projected cash flows. Because Cinemex was sold in December 2008, cash flows for the fiscal 2009 study did not include results from Cinemex. Cash flows were projected through fiscal 2017 and assumed revenues would increase approximately 3.25% annually primarily due to projected increases in ticket and concession pricing. Costs and expenses, as a percentage of revenue are projected to decrease from 85.5% to 85.1% through fiscal 2017. The residual value is a function of the estimated cash flow for fiscal 2018 divided by a capitalization rate (discount rate less long-term growth rate of 2%) then discounted back to represent the present value of the cash flows beyond the discrete projection period. You should note that we utilized the foregoing assumptions about future revenues and costs and expenses for the limited purpose of performing our annual goodwill impairment analysis. These assumptions should not be viewed as "projections" or as representations by us as to expected future performance or results of operations, and you should not rely on them in deciding whether to invest in our common stock. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

As the expectations of the average investor are not directly observable, the market risk premium must be inferred. One approach is to use the long-run historical arithmetic average premiums that investors have historically earned over and above the returns on long-term Treasury bonds. The premium obtained using the historical approach is sensitive to the time period over which one calculates the average. Depending on the time period chosen, the historical approach yields an average premium in a range of 5.0% to 8.0%.

There was no goodwill impairment as of December 30, 2010, April 1, 2010 or April 2, 2009.

Film exhibition costs. We have agreements with film companies who provide the content we make available to our customers. We are required to routinely make estimates and judgments about box office receipts for certain films and for films provided by specific film distributors in closing our books each period. These estimates are subject to adjustments based upon final settlements and determinations of final amounts due to our content providers that are typically based on a films box office receipts and how well it performs. In certain instances this evaluation is done on a film by film basis or in the aggregate by film production suppliers. We rely upon our industry experience and professional judgment in determining amounts to fairly record these obligations at any given point in time. The accrual made for film costs have historically been material and we expect they will continue to be so into the future. During fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 our film exhibition costs totaled $928.6 million, $842.7 million and $860.2 million, respectively.

Income and operating taxes. Income and operating taxes are inherently difficult to estimate and record. This is due to the complex nature of the tax code which we use to file our tax returns and also because our returns are routinely subject to examination by government tax authorities, including federal, state and local officials. Most of these examinations take place a few years after we have filed our tax returns. Our tax audits in many instances raise questions regarding our tax filing positions, the timing and amount of deductions claimed and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Our federal and state tax operating loss carried forward of approximately $407.3 million and $846.5 million, respectively at April 1, 2010, require us to estimate the amount of carry forward losses that we can reasonably be expected to realize using feasible and prudent tax planning strategies that are available to us. Future changes in conditions and in the tax code may change these strategies and thus change the amount of carry forward losses that we expect to realize and the amount of valuation allowances we have recorded. Accordingly future reported results could be materially impacted by changes in tax matters, positions, rules and estimates and these changes could be material.

Gift card and packaged ticket revenues. As noted in our significant accounting policies for revenue we defer 100% of these items and recognize these amounts as they are redeemed by customers or when we estimate the likelihood of future redemption is remote based upon applicable laws and regulations. A vast majority of gift cards are used or partially used. However a portion of the gift cards and packaged ticket sales we sell to our customers are not redeemed and not used in whole or in part. Non-redeemed or partially redeemed cards or packaged tickets are known as "breakage" in our industry. We are required to estimate breakage and do so based upon our historical redemption patterns. Our history indicates that if a card or packaged ticket is not used for 18 months or longer, its likelihood of being used past this 18 month period is remote. When it is determined that a future redemption is remote we record income for unused cards and tickets. We changed our estimate on when packaged tickets would be considered remote in terms of future redemption in fiscal 2008 and changed our estimate of redemption rates for packaged tickets in 2009. Prior to 2008 dates we had estimated that unused packaged tickets would not become remote in terms of future use until 24 months after they were issued. The change we made to shorten this period from 24 to 18 months and align redemption patterns for packaged tickets with our gift card program represented our best judgment based on continued development of specific historical redemption patterns in our gift cards at AMC. We believe this 18 month period continues to be appropriate and do not anticipate any changes to this policy given our historical experience. We monitor redemptions and if we were to determine changes in our redemption statistics had taken place we would be required to change the current 18 month time period to a period that was determined to be more appropriate. This could cause us to either accelerate or lengthen the amount of time a gift card or packaged ticket is outstanding prior to being remote in terms of any future redemption.

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) from continuing operations plus (i) income tax provisions, (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

  Other expense for fiscal 2011 is comprised of the loss on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the redemption of our 11% senior subordinated notes due 2016 of $7.6 million and expense related to the modification of the senior secured credit facility of $3.4 million. Other expense for fiscal 2010 is comprised of the loss on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the cash tender offer for our 85/8% senior notes due 2012 conducted in May 2009 and remaining redemption with respect to such notes. Other income for fiscal 2008 is comprised of recoveries for property loss related to Hurricane Katrina.

  Does not reflect reduction in costs we anticipate that we will achieve relating to modifications made to our RealD and IMAX agreements in fiscal 2011. Had the modifications to the RealD and IMAX agreements been in place at the beginning of our fiscal 2010, we would have reduced our operating costs by $8.6 million. Also does not reflect the anticipated synergies and cost savings related to the Kerasotes Acquisition that we expect to derive from increased ticket and concession revenues at the former Kerasotes locations as a result of moving to our operating practices, decreased costs for newspaper advertising and concessions for those locations, and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate overhead functions and elimination of redundancies. Based on the cost savings initiatives we have implemented since the Kerasotes Acquisition, which include reductions in salaries, reductions in newspaper advertising costs, savings achieved in respect of concession costs and theatre operating expenses, as well as reduced rent expense, we estimate that we will achieve annual savings of $12.8 million.

  The acquisition of Kerasotes contributed approximately $26.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides

50

Table of Contents

management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

•
  does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•
  does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•
  does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
•
  excludes tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;
•
  does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and
•
  does not reflect management fees that may be paid to our sponsors.

For the 39 Weeks Ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Revenues. Total revenues increased 4.6%, or $83.9 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009. This increase included approximately $168.3 million of additional revenues resulting from the acquisition of Kerasotes. Admissions revenues increased 4.2%, or $53.4 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009, due to a 3.7% increase in average ticket prices and a 0.5% increase in attendance. The increase in attendance and increase in admissions revenues includes the increased attendance and admissions revenues of approximately $111.0 million from Kerasotes. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to an increase in attendance from 3D film product for which we are able to charge more per ticket than for a standard 2D film. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before the first quarter of fiscal 2010) decreased 3.1%, or $38.7 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 from the comparable period last year. Attendance was negatively impacted by less favorable film product during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 as compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009. Concessions revenues increased 5.7%, or $27.8 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009, due to a 5.0% increase in average concessions per patron and the increase in attendance, which was primarily due to the acquisition of Kerasotes. The increase in concession revenues includes approximately $54.6 million from Kerasotes. The increase in concessions per patron includes the impact of concession price and size increases placed in effect during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011, and a shift in product mix to higher priced items. Other theatre revenues increased 6.1%, or $2.7 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to increases in advertising revenues, package ticket sales, and theatre rentals. The increase in other theatre revenues includes $2.7 million from Kerasotes.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 6.8%, or $117.4 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009. The effect of the acquisition of Kerasotes was an increase in operating costs and expenses of approximately $174.9 million. Film exhibition costs increased 1.1%, or $7.9 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31,

2009 due to the increase in admissions revenues, partially offset by the decrease in film exhibition costs as a percentage of admissions revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 52.8% in the current period and 54.4% in the prior year period. Concession costs increased 19.9%, or $10.6 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009 due to an increase in concession costs as a percentage of concession revenues and the increase in concession revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 12.4% in the current period compared with 11.0% in the prior period, primarily due to the concession price and size increases, a shift in product mix from higher to lower margin items, and concession offers targeting attendance growth. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 26.1% in the current period as compared to 24.8% in the prior period. Gains were recorded on disposition of assets during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 which reduced operating expenses by approximately $10.3 million, primarily due to the sale of a divested legacy AMC theatre in conjunction with the acquisition of Kerasotes. Rent expense increased 7.6%, or $25.0 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to increased rent as a result of the acquisition of Kerasotes of approximately $30.4 million.

We continually monitor the performance of our theatres, and factors such as changing consumer preferences for filmed entertainment and our inability to sublease or utilize vacant space could negatively impact operating results and result in future screen closures, abandonments, sales, dispositions and significant theatre and other closure charges prior to expiration of underlying lease agreements.

General and Administrative Expense:

Merger, Acquisition and Transaction Costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs increased $12.5 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009. Current year costs primarily consist of costs related to the acquisition of Kerasotes.

Management Fees. Management fees were unchanged during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010. Management fees of $1.3 million are paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.

Other. Other general and administrative expense increased 1.2%, or $482,000, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to increases in salaries expense and estimated expense related to our complete withdrawal from a union-sponsored pension plan of $2.7 million, partially offset by decreases in incentive compensation expense related to declines in operating performance. During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009, we recorded $1.4 million of expense related to a complete withdrawal from a union-sponsored pension plan.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 9.8%, or $13.9 million, compared to the prior period. Increases in depreciation and amortization expense during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 are the result of increased net book value of theatre assets primarily due to the acquisition of Kerasotes, which contributed $20.5 million of depreciation expense, partially offset by decreases in the declining net book value of legacy theatre assets.

Other Expense (Income). Other expense (income) includes $(11.8) million and $(11.5) million of income related to the derecognition of gift card liabilities, as to which we believe future redemption to be remote, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Other expense (income) includes a loss on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the redemption of our 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 of $7.6 million and expense related to the

52

Table of Contents

modification of our senior secured credit facility term loan due 2013 of $3.0 million, and senior secured credit facility revolver of $367,000. Other expense (income) includes a loss of $11.3 million related to the redemption of our 85/8% Senior Notes due 2012 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 7.9%, or $7.7 million, primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of our 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes due 2019") on June 9, 2009 and the original notes on December 15, 2010.

Equity in Earnings of Non-Consolidated Entities. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities was $17.1 million in the current period compared to $18.1 million in the prior period. Equity in earnings related to our investment in National CineMedia, LLC were $23.1 million and $20.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Equity in losses related to our investment in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, LLC ("DCIP") were $5.4 million and $2.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Gain on NCM, Inc. Stock Sale. The gain on NCM, Inc. shares of common stock sold during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 was $64.6 million. See Note 6—"Investments" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further information.

Investment Income. Investment income was $309,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 compared to $167,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009.

Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision from continuing operations was $2.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and $0 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009. See Note 8—"Income Taxes" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further information.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations, Net. On December 29, 2008, we sold our operations in Mexico, including 44 theatres and 493 screens. The results of operations of the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Net Earnings. Net earnings were $36.8 million and $16.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Net earnings during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 were positively impacted by a gain on sale of NCM, Inc. shares of $64.6 million and a gain on disposition of assets of approximately $10.3 million, and negatively impacted by merger and acquisition costs of approximately $13.2 million primarily due to the acquisition of Kerasotes, loss on extinguishment and modification of indebtedness of $11.0 million and increased interest expense of $7.7 million. Net earnings during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009 were negatively impacted by an expense of $11.3 million related to the redemption of our 85/8% Senior Notes due 2012.

For the Year Ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009

Revenues. Total revenues increased 6.7%, or $152.3 million, during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009. Admissions revenues increased 8.3%, or $131.5 million, during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009, due to a 6.1% increase in average ticket prices and a 2.1% increase in attendance. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before the first quarter of fiscal 2009) increased 8.5%, or $131.5 million, during the year ended April 1, 2010 from the comparable period last year. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to increases in attendance from IMAX and 3D film product where we are able to charge more per ticket than for a standard 2D film, as well as our practice of periodically reviewing

53

Table of Contents

ticket prices and making selective adjustments based upon such factors as general inflationary trends and conditions in local markets. Attendance was positively impacted by more favorable 3D and IMAX film product during the year ended April 1, 2010 as compared to the year ended April 2, 2009, as well as by an increase in the number of IMAX and 3D screens that we operate. Concessions revenues increased 3.3%, or $20.5 million, during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009, due primarily to the increase in attendance. Other theatre revenues increased 0.4%, or $262,000, during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009, primarily due to increases in on-line ticket fees, partially offset by a reduction in theatre rentals.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 1.8%, or $40.7 million during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009. Film exhibition costs increased 10.2%, or $86.0 million, during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009 due to the increase in admissions revenues and the increase in film exhibition costs as a percentage of admissions revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 54.2% in the current period and 53.3% in the prior year period primarily due to an increase in admissions revenues on higher grossing films, which typically carry a higher film cost as a percentage of admissions revenues. Concession costs increased 7.5%, or $5.1 million, during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009 due to an increase in concession costs as a percentage of concessions revenues and the increase in concession revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 11.3% in the current period compared with 10.8% in the prior period. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 25.3% in the current period as compared to 25.4% in the prior period. Rent expense decreased 1.8%, or $8.1 million, during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009 primarily due to rent reductions from landlords related to their failure to meet co-tenancy provisions in certain lease agreements and renegotiations on more favorable terms. Rent reductions related to co-tenancy may not continue should our landlords meet the related co-tenancy provisions in the future.

General and Administrative Expense:

Merger, acquisition and transaction costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs increased $1.6 million during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009 primarily due to costs incurred related to the Kerasotes acquisition during the current year.

Management fees. Management fees were unchanged during the year ended April 1, 2010. Management fees of $1.3 million are paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.

Other. Other general and administrative expense increased 7.9%, or $4.2 million, during the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to the year ended April 2, 2009 due primarily to increases in annual incentive compensation of approximately $12.0 million based on improved operating performance and increases in net periodic pension expense of $4.7 million, partially offset by decreases in cash severance payments of $7.0 million to our former Chief Executive Officer made in the prior year and a decrease in expense related to a union-sponsored pension plan of $3.9 million. During the year ended April 2, 2009, we recorded $5.3 million of expense related to our partial withdrawal liability for a union-sponsored pension plan. During the year ended April 1, 2010, we recorded $1.4 million of expense related to our estimated complete withdrawal from the union-sponsored pension plan.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased 6.5%, or $13.1 million, compared to the prior year due primarily to the impairment of long-lived assets in fiscal 2009.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. During the year ended April 1, 2010, we recognized non-cash impairment losses of $3.8 million related to theatre fixed assets and real estate recorded in other long-term assets. We recognized an impairment loss of $2.3 million on five theatres with 41 screens (in

54

Table of Contents

Florida, California, New York, Utah and Maryland). Of the theatre charge, $2.3 million was related to property, net. We also adjusted the carrying value of undeveloped real estate assets based on a recent appraisal which resulted in an impairment charge of $1.4 million. During the year ended April 2, 2009, we recognized non-cash impairment losses of $73.5 million related to theatre fixed assets, internal use software and assets held for sale. We recognized an impairment loss of $65.6 million on 34 theatres with 520 screens (in Arizona, California, Canada, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin). Of the theatre charge, $1.4 million was related to intangible assets, net, and $64.3 million was related to property, net. We recognized an impairment loss on abandonment of internal use software, recorded in other long-term assets of $7.1 million when management determined that the carrying value would not be realized through future use. We adjusted the carrying value of our assets held for sale to reflect the subsequent sales proceeds received in January 2009 and declines in fair value, which resulted in impairment charges of $786,000.

Other (Income) Expense. Other (income) expense includes $13.6 million and $14.1 million of income related to the derecognition of gift card liabilities, as to which we believe future redemption to be remote, during the year ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. Other (income) expense includes loss on extinguishment of indebtedness of $11.3 million related to the Cash Tender Offer during the year ended April 1, 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 8.5%, or $10.4 million, primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of the Notes due 2019 partially offset by a decrease in interest rates on the senior secured credit facility and extinguishment of debt from the Cash Tender Offer.

Equity in Earnings of Non-Consolidated Entities. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities was $30.3 million in the current year compared to $24.8 million in the prior year. Equity in earnings related to our investment in NCM LLC were $34.4 million and $27.7 million for the year ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. We recognized an impairment loss of $2.7 million related to an equity method investment in one U.S. motion picture theatre during the year ended April 2, 2009.

Investment Income. Investment income was $205,000 for the year ended April 1, 2010 compared to $1.7 million for the year ended April 2, 2009. The year ended April 2, 2009 includes a gain of $2.4 million from the May 2008 sale of our investment in Fandango, which was the result of receiving the final distribution from the general claims escrow account. During the year ended April 2, 2009, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.5 million related to unrealized losses previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on marketable securities related to one of our deferred compensation plans when we determined the decline in fair value below historical cost to be other than temporary.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit). The income tax provision (benefit) from continuing operations was a benefit of $68.8 million for the year ended April 1, 2010 and a provision of $5.8 million for the year ended April 2, 2009. Our income tax benefit in fiscal 2010 includes the release of $71.8 million of valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. See note 9 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for our effective income tax rate reconciliation.

Earnings (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net. On December 29, 2008, we sold our operations in Mexico, including 44 theatres and 493 screens. The results of operations of the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all years presented and include bad debt expense related to amounts due from Cinemex of $8.9 million for the year ended April 1, 2010. See note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for the components of the earnings from discontinued operations.

Net Earnings (Loss). Net earnings (loss) were $69.8 million and $(81.2) million for the year ended April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. Net earnings were favorably impacted by a $71.8 million reduction in the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. Net earnings during the year ended April 1, 2010 were negatively impacted by an expense of $11.3 million related to the Cash Tender Offer and by losses of $8.9 million related to the allowance for doubtful accounts and direct write-offs of amounts due from Cinemex included in discontinued operations. Net loss for the year ended April 2, 2009 was primarily due to impairment charges of $73.5 million.

For the Year Ended April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008

Revenues. Total revenues decreased 2.9%, or $67.6 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008. Fiscal year 2009 includes 52 weeks and fiscal year 2008 includes 53 weeks which we estimate contributed approximately $30.0 million to the decline in our total revenues. Admissions revenues decreased 2.2%, or $35.3 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008, due to a 5.5% decrease in attendance partially offset by a 3.6% increase in average ticket price. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to our practice of periodically reviewing ticket prices and making selective adjustments based upon such factors as general inflationary trends and conditions in local markets. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before the first quarter of fiscal 2008) decreased 4.1%, or $63.8 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 from the comparable period last year. Based upon available industry sources, box office revenues of our comparable theatres slightly underperformed the overall industry comparable theatres in the markets where we operate. We believe our underperformance is primarily the result of changes in distribution patterns and an increase in the number of prints released in our markets. While our box office performance on such films was in line with our expectations, the increase in prints in our market diluted our overall performance against the industry. Concessions revenues decreased 3.4%, or $22.1 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008 due to the decrease in attendance partially offset by a 2.2% increase in average concessions per patron. Other theatre revenues decreased 14.8%, or $10.2 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to year ended April 3, 2008, primarily due to a decrease in advertising revenues. See note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for discussion of the change in estimate for revenues recorded during the years ended April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008.

Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 2.2%, or $48.6 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008. Film exhibition costs decreased 2.0%, or $17.6 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008 due to the decrease in admissions revenues partially offset by an increase in film exhibition costs as a percentage of admission revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 53.3% in the current year as compared with 53.2% in the prior year. Concession costs decreased 2.6%, or $1.8 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008 due to the decrease in concession revenues partially offset by an increase in concession costs as a percentage of concessions revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 10.8% in the current year and 10.7% in the prior year. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 25.4% in the current year and 24.5% in the prior year. Operating expense in the current and prior year includes $2.3 million and $21.0 million of theatre and other closure income, respectively, due primarily to lease terminations negotiated on favorable terms. Rent expense increased 2.1%, or $9.4 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008 due primarily to the opening of new theatres. Preopening expense decreased $1.7 million during the year ended April 2, 2009 due to a decline in screen additions.

General and Administrative Expense:

Merger, acquisition and transaction costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs decreased $3.1 million during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008. Prior year costs are primarily comprised of professional and consulting expenses related to a proposed initial public offering of common stock that was withdrawn on June 19, 2007 and preacquisition expenses for casualty insurance losses that occurred prior to the merger with Loews.

Management fees. Management fees were unchanged during the year ended April 2, 2009. Management fees of $1.3 million are paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.

Other. Other general and administrative expense increased 37.1%, or $14.5 million, during the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to the year ended April 3, 2008. The increase in other general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a cash severance payment of $7.0 million to our former Chief Executive Officer and an expense of $5.3 million related to our partial withdrawal liability for a union-sponsored pension plan, partially offset by a pension curtailment gain of $1.1 million as a result of the retirement of our former chief executive officer.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased 9.3%, or $20.7 million, compared to the prior year due primarily to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized, the closing of theatres and impairment of long-lived assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. During fiscal 2009 we recognized non-cash impairment losses of $73.5 million related to theatre fixed assets, internal use software and assets held for sale. We recognized an impairment loss of $65.6 million on 34 theatres with 520 screens (in Arizona, California, Canada, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin). Of the theatre charge, $1.4 million was related to intangible assets, net, and $64.3 million was related to property, net. We recognized an impairment loss on abandonment of internal use software, recorded in other long-term assets of $7.1 million when management determined that the carrying value would not be realized through future use, we adjusted the carrying value of our assets held for sale to reflect the sales proceeds received in fiscal 2009 and declines in fair value, which resulted in impairment charges of $786,000. During fiscal 2008 we recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $8.9 million that reduced property, net on 17 theatres with 176 screens (in New York, Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, Oklahoma, California, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Washington, and the District of Columbia).

Other Income. Other income includes $14.1 million and $11.3 million of income related to the derecognition of gift card liabilities, as to which we believe future redemption to be remote, during the year ended April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively. Other income includes insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Katrina of $1.2 million for property losses in excess of property carrying cost and $397,000 for business interruption during the year ended April 3, 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 11.6%, or $15.9 million, primarily due to decreased interest rates on the senior secured credit facility.

Equity in Earnings of Non-Consolidated Entities. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities was $24.8 million in the current year compared to $43.0 million in the prior year. Equity in earnings related to our investment in NCM LLC were $27.7 million and $22.2 million for the year ended April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively. Equity in earnings related to HGCSA was $18.7 million during the year ended April 3, 2008 and includes the gain related to the disposition of $18.8 million. We recognized an impairment loss of $2.7 million related to an equity method investment in one U.S. motion picture theatre during the year ended April 2, 2009.

Investment Income. Investment income was $1.7 million for the year ended April 2, 2009 compared to $23.8 million for the year ended April 3, 2008. The year ended April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008 include a gain on the sale of our investment in Fandango of $2.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively. Interest income decreased $6.6 million from the prior year primarily due to decreases in temporary investments and decreases in rates of interest earned on temporary investments. During the year ended April 2, 2009, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.5 million related to unrealized losses previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on marketable securities related to one of our deferred compensation plans when we determined the decline in fair value below historical cost to be other than temporary.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit). The income tax provision from continuing operations was $5.8 million for the year ended April 2, 2009 and $12.6 million for the year ended April 3, 2008 with the reduction due primarily to the decrease in earnings from continuing operations before income taxes. See note 9 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations, Net. On December 29, 2008, we sold our operations in Mexico, including 44 theatres and 493 screens. The results of operations of the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all years reflects the new classification. See note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for the components of the earnings from discontinued operations.

Net Earnings (loss). Net earnings (loss) were $(81.2) million and $43.4 million for the year ended April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively. The decrease in net earnings was primarily due to impairment charges of $73.5 million in the current year and the recognition of a gain on the disposition of HGCSA of $18.8 million, a gain on the disposition of Fandango of $16.0 million and theatre and other closure income of $21.0 million which were recorded in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through box office admissions and theatre concessions sales. We have an operating "float" which partially finances our operations and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors from 20 to 45 days following receipt of box office admissions revenues. Film distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such periods.

We fund the costs of constructing, maintaining and remodeling new theatres through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations or borrowed funds, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for the construction costs. We may decide to own the real estate assets of new theatres and, following construction, sell and leaseback the real estate assets pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases.

We believe that cash generated from operations and existing cash and equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations and planned capital expenditures and acquisitions currently and for at least the next 12 months and enable us to maintain compliance with covenants related to the senior secured credit facility and the 2014 Notes, the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes, the 2019 Notes and the 2020 Notes. We are considering various options with respect to the utilization of cash and equivalents on hand in excess of our anticipated operating needs. Such options might include, but are not limited to, acquisitions of theatres or theatre companies, repayment of our corporate borrowings and payment of dividends.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows included elsewhere in this prospectus, were $114.8 million and $246.4 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in payments on accounts payables and accrued expenses and other liabilities, including payments of amounts acquired in the Kerasotes acquisition as well as payments made for merger, acquisition and transaction costs in connection with the Kerasotes acquisition. Cash flows during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 include third party modification fees of $2.9 million related to the modification of our senior secured credit facility, which reduced our cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2009 include consent fee payments of $7.4 million related to the redemption of our 85/8% Senior Notes due 2012, which reduced our cash flows from operating activities. We had working capital surplus as of December 30, 2010 and April 1, 2010 of $103.8 million and $143.2 million, respectively. Working capital includes $165.6 million and $125.8 million of deferred revenues as of December 30, 2010 and April 1, 2010, respectively. We have the ability to borrow against our senior secured credit facility to meet obligations as they come due (subject to limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness in our various debt instruments) and could incur indebtedness of $192.5 million on our senior secured credit facility to meet these obligations as of December 30, 2010.

Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows included elsewhere in this prospectus, were $258.0 million, $200.7 million and $220.2 million during the years ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008 respectively. The increase in operating cash flows during the year ended April 1, 2010 is primarily due to an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities as a result of increases in accrued interest and annual incentive compensation and the increase in attendance. The decrease in operating cash flows during the year ended April 2, 2009 is primarily due to the decrease in net earnings, which was partially offset by an increase in non-cash impairment charges. We had working capital surplus as of April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009 of $143.2 million and $259.3 million, respectively. Working capital includes $125.8 million and $121.6 million of deferred revenue as of April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows included elsewhere in this prospectus, were $198.3 million and $59.7 million, during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $84.1 million and $59.5 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Our capital expenditures primarily consisted of maintaining our theatre circuit, technology upgrades, strategic initiatives and remodels. We expect that our gross capital expenditures cash outflows will be approximately $140.0 million to $150.0 million for fiscal 2011.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010, we paid $280.6 million for the purchase of Kerasotes theatres at closing, net of cash acquired. The purchase included working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the Unit Purchase Agreement.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010, we received net proceeds of $102.2 million from the sale of 6,655,193 shares of common stock of NCM, Inc. for $16.00 per share and reduced our related investment in NCM by $37.6 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold.

We received $57.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of certain theatres required to be divested in connection with the Kerasotes acquisition during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and received $991,000 for the sale of real estate acquired from Kerasotes.

We fund the costs of constructing new theatres using existing cash balances; cash generated from operations or borrowed funds, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for the construction costs. We may decide to own the real estate assets of new theatres and, following construction, sell and leaseback the real estate assets pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities, as reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows included elsewhere in this prospectus, were $274.8 million and $(187.8) million during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

In addition, we made payments for tender offer and consent consideration of $5.8 million for our 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes. We intend to redeem the remaining $229.9 million aggregate principal amount outstanding 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes at a price of $1,055 per $1,000 principal amount on or after February 1, 2011 in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

The current applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings, and the current applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility is 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. The applicable margin for such borrowings may be reduced, subject to attaining certain leverage ratios. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.25%. We also pay customary letter of credit fees. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBOR loans. We are required to repay $1.6 million of the term loan quarterly, beginning March 30, 2006 through September 30, 2012, with any remaining balance due on January 26, 2013.

On February 24, 2004, AMCE sold $300 million aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Notes. The 2014 Notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, payable in March and September.

On December 15, 2010, we entered into a third amendment to our senior secured credit facility dated as of January 26, 2006 to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity of the term loans held by accepting lenders and to increase the interest rate with respect to such term loans, (ii) replace our existing revolving credit facility (with higher interest rates and a longer maturity than the existing revolving credit facility), and (iii) amend certain of the existing covenants therein. The following are key terms of the amendment:

•
  The term loan maturity was extended to December 15, 2016 (the "Term Loan due 2016") for the aggregate principal amount of $476.6 million held by lenders who consented to the amendment. The remaining aggregate term loan principal amount of $142.5 million will mature on January 26, 2013 (the "Term Loan due 2013"). The current applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2013 is 0.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.50% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2016 is 2.25% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. The company will repay $374,088 of the Term Loan due 2013 quarterly through September 30, 2012, with any remaining balance due on January 26, 2013 and repay $1.3 million of the Term Loan due 2016 quarterly through September 30, 2016, with any remaining balance due on December 15, 2016.
•
  The new five-year revolving credit facility includes a borrowing capacity of $192.5 million through December 15, 2015 and is available for letters of credit and for swingline borrowings on same-day notice. The current applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is 2.00% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. The company is required to pay an unused commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. It will also pay customary letter of credit fees.

As of December 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants relating to our senior secured credit facility, the 2014 Notes, the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes, the 2019 Notes and the 2020 Notes.

  Represents cash requirements for the payment of principal on corporate borrowings. Total amount does not equal carrying amount due to unamortized discounts on issuance. Fiscal 2011 principal payments include the expected repayment of $325.0 million on the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes, of which $95.1 million has been paid through December 30, 2010.

  Includes committed capital expenditures and acquisitions, including the estimated cost of ADA related betterments. Does not include planned, but non-committed capital expenditures.

  We fund our pension plan such that the plan is in compliance with Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and the plan is not considered "at risk" as defined by ERISA guidelines. The plan has been frozen effective December 31, 2006. Also included are payments due under a withdrawal liability for a union sponsored plan. The retiree health plan is not funded.

We have recognized an obligation for unrecognized benefits of $28.2 million and $28.5 million as of December 30, 2010 and April 1, 2010, respectively. There are currently unrecognized tax benefits which we anticipate will be resolved in the next 12 months; however, we are unable at this time to estimate what the impact on our effective tax rate will be. Any amounts related to these items are not included in the tables above.

Fee Agreement

In connection with the holdco merger, on June 11, 2007, Parent, Holdings, AMCE and the Sponsors entered into a Fee Agreement (the "Management Fee Agreement"), which replaced the December 23, 2004 fee agreement among Holdings, AMCE and the Sponsors, as amended and restated on January 26, 2006 entered into in connection with the merger with LCE Holdings (the "original fee agreement"). The Management Fee Agreement provides for an annual management fee of $5.0 million, payable quarterly and in advance to our Sponsors, on a pro rata basis, until the twelfth anniversary from December 23, 2004, as well as reimbursements for each Sponsor's respective out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the management services provided under the Management Fee Agreement.

In addition, the Management Fee Agreement provides for reimbursements by AMCE to the Sponsors for their out-of-pocket expenses, and by AMCE to Parent of up to $3.5 million for fees payable by Parent in any single fiscal year in order to maintain Parent's and AMCE's corporate existence, corporate overhead expenses and salaries or other compensation of certain employees.

Upon the consummation of a change in control transaction or an IPO, the Sponsors will receive, in lieu of quarterly payments of the annual management fee, an automatic fee equal to the net present value of the aggregate annual management fee that would have been payable to the Sponsors during the remainder of the term of the fee agreement (assuming a twelve year term from the date of the original fee agreement), calculated using the treasury rate having a final maturity date that is closest to the twelfth anniversary of the date of the original fee agreement date. As of December 30, 2010, we estimate this amount would be $26.1 million should a change in control transaction or an IPO occur. We expect to record any lump sum payment to the Sponsors as a dividend.

The Management Fee Agreement also provides that AMCE will indemnify the Sponsors against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising in connection with the management services provided by the Sponsors under the fee agreement.

Investment in NCM LLC

We hold an investment in 16.98% of NCM LLC accounted for following the equity method as of December 30, 2010. The fair market value of these shares is approximately $375.5 million as of December 30, 2010. Because we have little tax basis in these units, the sale of all these units at December 30, 2010 would require us to report taxable income of approximately $508.8 million, including distributions received from NCM LLC that were previously deferred. Our investment in NCM LLC is a source of liquidity for us and we expect that any sales we may make of NCM LLC units would be made in such a manner to most efficiently manage any related tax liability. We have available net operating loss carry-forwards which could reduce any related tax liability.

Impact of Inflation

Historically, the principal impact of inflation and changing prices upon us has been to increase the costs of the construction of new theatres, the purchase of theatre equipment, rent and the utility and labor costs incurred in connection with continuing theatre operations. Film exhibition costs, our largest cost of operations, are customarily paid as a percentage of admissions revenues and hence, while the film exhibition costs may increase on an absolute basis, the percentage of admissions revenues represented by such expense is not directly affected by inflation. Except as set forth above, inflation and changing prices have not had a significant impact on our total revenues and results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further information regarding recently issued accounting standards.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments. We maintain a senior secured credit facility, comprised of a $192.5 million revolving credit facility and a $650.0 million term loan facility, which permits borrowings at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either a base rate or LIBOR. Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. We had no borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of December 30, 2010 and had $619.1 million outstanding under the term loan facility on December 30, 2010. A 100 basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest

expense on our senior secured credit facility by $6.5 million during the 52 weeks ended April 1, 2010 and $4.7 million during the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010.

Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. Included in current maturities and long-term corporate borrowings are principal amounts of $229.9 million of our 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes, $300.0 million of our 2014 Notes, $600.0 million of our 2019 Notes, and $600.0 million of our 2020 Notes. Increases in market interest rates would generally cause a decrease in the fair value of the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes, the 2014 Notes, the 2019 Notes, and the 2020 Notes and a decrease in market interest rates would generally cause an increase in fair value of the 2016 Senior Subordinated Notes, the 2014 Notes, the 2019 Notes and the 2020 Notes.

Foreign currency exchange rates. We currently operate theatres in Canada, France and the United Kingdom. As a result of these operations, we have assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the respective currencies causes a decrease in the carrying values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in such foreign currencies and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the respective currencies causes an increase in the carrying values of these items. The increases and decreases in assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also impact the comparability of earnings in these countries on a year-to-year basis. As the U.S. dollar strengthens, comparative translated earnings decrease, and as the U.S. dollar weakens comparative translated earnings from foreign operations increase. A 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies of countries where we currently operate theatres would increase earnings before income taxes by approximately $608,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and decrease accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $8.2 million as of December 30, 2010. A 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies of countries where we currently operate theatres would increase earnings before income taxes by approximately $202,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and increase accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $10.0 million as of December 30, 2010.

BUSINESS

We are one of the world's leading theatrical exhibition companies. As of December 30, 2010, we owned, operated or held interests in 361 movie theatres with a total of 5,203 screens, approximately 99% of which were located in the United States and Canada. Our theatres are primarily located in major metropolitan markets, which we believe offer strategic, operational and financial advantages. We also have a modern, highly productive theatre circuit that leads the theatrical exhibition industry in key asset quality and performance metrics, such as screens per theatre and per theatre productivity measures. Our industry leading performance is largely driven by the quality of our theatre sites, our operating practices, which focus on delivering the best customer experience through consumer focused innovation, and, most recently, our implementation of premium sight and sound formats, which we believe will be key components of the future movie-going experience. As of December 30, 2010, we are the largest IMAX exhibitor in the world with a 45% market share in the United States and more than twice the screen count of the second largest U.S. IMAX exhibitor, and each of our local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity.

Approximately 200 million consumers have attended our theatres each year for the past five years. We offer these consumers a fully immersive out-of-home entertainment experience by featuring a wide array of entertainment alternatives, including popular movies, throughout the day and at different price points. This broad range of entertainment alternatives appeals to a wide variety of consumers across different age, gender, and socioeconomic demographics. For example, in addition to traditional film programming, we offer more diversified programming that includes independent and foreign films, performing arts, music and sports. We also offer food and beverage alternatives beyond traditional concession items, including made-to-order meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks and dine-in theatre options, all designed to create further service and selection for our consumers. We believe there is potential for us to further increase in our annual attendance as we gain market share from other in-home and out-of-home entertainment options.

Our large annual attendance made us an important partner to content providers who want access and distribution to consumers. We currently generate 16% more estimated unique visitors per year (33.3 million) than HBO's subscribers (28.6 million) and 67% more than Netflix's subscribers (20.0 million) according to the October 14, 2010 Hollywood Reporter, the December 31, 2010 Netflix Form 10-K and the Theatrical Market Statistics 2010 report from the Motion Picture Association of America. Further underscoring our importance to the content providers, we represent approximately 17% to 20%, on average, of each of the 6 largest grossing studios' U.S. box office revenues. Average annual film rental payments to each of these studios ranged from approximately $100 million to $160 million.

For the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, the fiscal year ended April 1, 2010 and the 39 weeks ended December 30, 2010, we generated pro forma revenues of approximately $2.6 billion, $2.7 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, pro forma Adjusted EBITDA (as defined on page 13) of $329.7 million, $365.6 million and $253.2 million, respectively, and pro forma earnings from continuing operations of $93.1 million, $84.8 million and $30.7 million, respectively. We reported revenues of approximately $2.4 billion, earnings from continuing operations of $77.3 million and net earnings of $69.8 million in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2009 and 2008, we reported revenues of approximately $2.3 billion and $2.3 billion, earnings (losses) from continuing operations of $(90.9) million and $41.6 million, and net earnings (losses) of $(81.2) million and $43.4 million, respectively.

We were founded in 1920 and since then have pioneered many of the theatrical exhibition industry's most important innovations, including the multiplex theatre format in the early 1960s and the North American megaplex theatre format in the mid-1990s. In addition, we have acquired some of the most respected companies in the theatrical exhibition industry, including Loews, General Cinema and, more recently, Kerasotes. Our historic growth has been driven by a combination of organic growth and acquisition strategies, in addition to strategic alliances and partnerships that highlight our ability to capture innovation and value beyond the traditional exhibition space. For example:

•
  In March 2011, we announced the launch of an innovative distribution company called Open Road Films along with another major theatrical exhibition chain. Open Road Films will be a dynamic acquisition-based domestic theatrical distribution company that will concentrate on wide-release movies;
•
  In March 2005, we formed a joint venture with one of the major theatrical exhibition chains which combined our respective cinema screen advertising businesses into a company called NCM and in July 2005, another of the major theatrical exhibition chains joined NCM as one of the founding members. As of December 30, 2010, we owned 18,803,420 common units in NCM, or a 16.98% ownership interest in NCM. All of our NCM membership units are redeemable for, at the option of NCM, cash or shares of common stock of NCM, Inc. on a share-for-share basis. The estimated fair market value of our units in NCM was approximately $375.5 million based on the closing price per share of NCM, Inc. on December 30, 2010 of $19.97 per share;
•
  We hold a 29% interest in DCIP, a joint venture charged with implementing digital cinema in the Company's theatres; and
•
  We hold a 26% interest in Movietickets.com, a joint venture that provides moviegoers with a way to buy movie tickets online, access local showtime information, view trailers and read reviews.

Consistent with our history and culture of innovation, we believe we have pioneered a new way of thinking about theatrical exhibition: as a consumer entertainment provider. This vision, which introduces a strategic and marketing overlay to traditional theatrical exhibition, has been instrumental in driving and redirecting our future strategy.

The following table sets forth our historical information, on a continuing operations basis, concerning new builds (including expansions), acquisitions and dispositions and end-of-period operated theatres and screens through December 30, 2010:

We have also created and invested in a number of allied businesses and strategic initiatives that have created differentiated viewing formats and experiences, greater variety in food and beverage

Table of Contents

options and value appreciation for our company. We believe these initiatives will continue to generate incremental value for our company in the future. For example:

•
  During fiscal 2010, DCIP, our joint venture with two other exhibitors, completed its formation and $660 million funding to facilitate the financing and deployment of digital technology in our theatres. We anticipate that our deployment of digital projection systems should take three and a half years to complete. Future digital cinema developments will be managed by DCIP, subject to certain approvals. We intend to continue our rapid deployment of digital projectors through our arrangements with DCIP and expect to have installed over 3,800 digital projectors by the end of fiscal year 2012.
•
  To complement our deployment of digital technology, in 2006 we partnered with RealD to install their 3D systems in our theatres. As of December 30, 2010, we had 810 3D-enabled systems. During the past year, 3D films have generated approximately 40% more in attendance than the standard 2D versions of the same film at an additional $1 to $5 per ticket. Concurrent with our digital rollout, we plan on having over 1,300 RealD screens across our circuit by the end of fiscal year 2011.
•
  We are the world's largest IMAX exhibitor with 107 screens as of December 30, 2010. With a 45% market share in the U.S. (as of December 30, 2010), our IMAX screen count is more than twice the screen count of the second largest U.S. IMAX exhibitor. During June 2010, we announced an expansion of our IMAX relationship. Under this expanded agreement, we expect to increase our IMAX screen count to 127 by the end of fiscal year 2012.
•
  During fiscal 2010 and 2011, we introduced our proprietary large-screen digital format, ETX, at 11 locations. ETX features wall-to-wall screens that are 20% larger than traditional screens, a custom sound system that is three times more powerful than a traditional auditorium, and digital projection with twice the clarity of high definition. We charge a premium price for the ETX experience, which produces average weekly box office per print that is 140% more than standard 2D versions of the same movie. We plan to have 17 ETX large screen formats by the end of fiscal year 2012.
•
  Currently, we have 145 theatres featuring one or more of our proprietary food and beverage concepts. We believe that these enhanced food and beverage concepts allow us to offer a more diverse array of food types such as expanded menus and venues including dine-in theatre options, which should appeal to a greater cross section of potential customers. We plan to continue to invest in one or more food and beverage offerings across 125 to 150 theatres over the next three years.
•
  We are a founding member of NCM, a cinema screen advertising venture. As of December 30, 2010, we had a 16.98% interest in NCM. See note 5 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. NCM operates an in-theatre digital network in the United States. The digital network consists of projectors used to display advertising and other non-film events. NCM's primary activities that impact our theatres include:
  •
    advertising through its branded "First Look" pre-feature entertainment program, lobby promotions and displays,
  •
    live and pre-recorded networked and single-site meetings and events, and
  •
    live and pre-recorded concerts, sporting events and other non-film entertainment programming.

We believe that the reach, scope and digital delivery capability of NCM's network provides an effective platform for national, regional and local advertisers to reach an engaged audience. We

69

Table of Contents

receive a monthly theatre access fee for participation in the NCM network. In addition, we are entitled to receive mandatory quarterly distributions of excess cash from NCM.

•
  Our tickets are currently on sale at two different Internet ticketing vendors. We are a founding partner and current owner of approximately 26% of MovieTickets.com, an Internet ticketing venture representing over 150 exhibitors with 12,000 screens. During 2009, MovieTickets.com sold over 15 million tickets, including approximately 6.8 million for us. We also partner with Fandango for Internet ticketing services for certain of our theatres. During 2009, Fandango sold over 24 million tickets, including approximately four million for us.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe our leadership in major metropolitan markets, superior asset quality and continuous focus on innovation and the guest experience have positioned us well to capitalize disproportionately on trends providing momentum to the theatrical exhibition industry as a whole, particularly the mass adoption of digital and 3D technologies. We believe we can gain additional share of wallet from the consumer by broadening our offerings to them and increasing our engagement with them. We can then enable marketers and partners, such as NCM, to engage with our guests deriving further financial value and benefit. We believe our management team is uniquely equipped to execute our strategy to realize these opportunities, making us a particularly effective competitor in our industry and positioning us well for future growth. Our competitive strengths include:

Broad National Reach. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of Americans (or 120 million consumers) live within 10 miles of an AMC theatre. This proximity and convenience, along with the affordability and diversity of our film product, drive approximately 200 million consumers into our theatres each year, or approximately 33.3 million unique visitors annually. We believe our ability to serve a broad consumer base across numerous entertainment occasions, such as teenage socializing, romantic dates and group events, is a competitive advantage. Our consumer reach, operating scale, access to diverse content and marketing platforms are valuable to content providers and marketers who want to access this broad and diverse audience.

Major Market Leader. We maintain the leading market share within our markets. As of December 30, 2010, we operated in 24 of the top 25 DMAs and had the number one or two market share in each of the top 15 DMAs, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston and Dallas. In addition, 75% of our screens were located in the top 25 DMAs and 89% were located in the top 50 DMAs. Population growth from 2008 through 2013 is projected by Nielsen Claritas to be 5.8% in the top 25 DMAs and 5.9% in the top 50 DMAs, compared to only 2.9% in all other DMAs. Our strong presence in the top DMAs makes our theatres more visible and therefore strategically more important to content providers who rely on these markets for a disproportionately large share of box office receipts. According to Rentrak, during the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, 59% of all U.S. box office receipts were derived from the top 25 DMAs and 75% were derived from the top 50 DMAs. In certain of our densely populated major metropolitan markets, we believe a scarcity of attractive retail real estate opportunities enhances the strategic value of our existing theatres. We also believe the complexity inherent in operating in these major metropolitan markets is a deterrent to other less sophisticated competitors, protecting our market share position.

We believe that customers in our major metropolitan markets are generally more affluent and culturally diverse than those in smaller markets. Traditionally, our strong presence in these markets has created a greater opportunity to exhibit a broad array of programming and premium formats, which we believe drives higher levels of attendance at our theatres. This has allowed us to generate higher per screen and per theatre operating metrics. For example, our pro forma average ticket price in the United States was $8.80 for our 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, as compared to $7.89 for the industry as a whole for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010.

Modern, Highly Productive Theatre Circuit. We believe the combination of our strong major market presence, focus on a superior guest experience and core operating strategies enables us to deliver industry-leading theatre level operating metrics. Our circuit averages 14 screens per theatre, which is more than twice the National Association of Theatre Owners average of 6.7 for calendar year 2010 and higher than any of our peers. For the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, on a pro forma basis, our theatre exhibition circuit generated attendance per average theatre of 568,000 (higher than any of our peers) revenues per average theatre of $7.0 million and operating cash flows before rent (defined as Adjusted EBITDA before rent and G&A-Other) per average theatre of $2.4 million. Over the past five fiscal years, we invested an average of $131.3 million per year to improve and expand our theatre circuit, contributing to the modern portfolio of theatres we operate today.

Leader in Deployment of Premium Formats. We also believe our strong major market presence and our highly productive theatre circuit allow us to take greater advantage of incremental revenue-generating opportunities associated with the premium services that will define the future of the theatrical business, including digital delivery, 3D projection, large screen formats, such as IMAX and our proprietary ETX offering, and alternative programming. As the industry's digital conversion accelerates, we believe we have established a differentiated leadership position in premium formats. For example, we are the world's largest IMAX exhibitor with 107 screens as of December 30, 2010, and we expect to increase our IMAX screen count to 127 by the end of fiscal year 2012. We are able to charge a premium price for the IMAX experience, which, in combination with higher attendance levels, produces average weekly box office per print that is 300% greater than standard 2D versions of the same movie. The availability of IMAX and 3D content has increased significantly from calendar year 2005 to 2010. During this period, available 3D content increased from 3 titles to 26 titles while available IMAX content increased from 5 titles to 14 titles. Industry film grosses for available 3D products increased from $191.0 million to approximately $3.0 billion, while industry film grosses for available IMAX products increased from $864.0 million to approximately $3.0 billion over this time period. This favorable trend continues in calendar year 2011 with 34 3D titles and 20 IMAX titles slated to open, including highly successful franchise installments such as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of D, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 and Mission Impossible-Ghost Protocal. The film release calendar for calendar year 2012 is beginning to solidify with 22 3D titles and 4 IMAX titles already announced, including sequels of high profile franchises such as Spiderman, Men in Black, James Bond, Bourne Legacy, Batman and a 3D version of Star Wars. We expect that additional 3D and IMAX titles will be announced as the beginning of 2012 approaches.

Innovative Growth Initiatives in Food and Beverage. We believe our theatre circuit is better positioned than our peer competitors' to generate additional revenue from broader and more diverse food and beverage offerings, in part due to our markets' larger, more diverse and more affluent customer base and our management's extensive experience in guest services, specifically within the food and beverage industry. Our annual food and beverage sales exceed the domestic food service sales generated from 18 of the top 75 ranked restaurants chains in the U.S., while representing only approximately 27% of our total revenue. To capitalize on this opportunity, we have introduced proprietary food and beverage offerings in seven theatres as of December 30, 2010, and we intend to deploy these offerings across our theatre circuit based on the needs and specific circumstances of each theatre. Our wide range of food and beverage offerings feature expanded menus, enhanced concession formats and unique dine-in theatre options, which we believe appeals to a larger cross section of potential customers. For example, in fiscal 2009 we converted a small, six-screen theatre in Atlanta, Georgia to a dine-in theatre facility with full kitchen facilities, seat side services and with a separate bar and lounge area. From fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2010, this theatre's attendance increased over 60%, revenues more than doubled, and operating cash flow and margins increased significantly. We plan to continue to invest in one or more enhanced food and beverage offerings across 125 to 150 theatres over the next three years.

Table of Contents

Our current food and beverage initiatives include:

•
  Dine-in theatre concepts at 7 locations, which feature full kitchen facilities, seat-side servers and a separate bar and lounge area;
•
  Concession Stand of the Future ("The Marketplace") at 3 locations, featuring self serve and premium concession items and specialty drinks;
•
  Concession Freshen at 10 locations, which provides a guest friendly grab and go experience and creates visual interest and space for more products;
•
  Better For You Merchandisers at 12 locations, addressing currently unmet guest needs by providing healthy choice concession items; and
•
  Made To Order Hot Foods at 130 locations, including menu choices such as curly fries, chicken tenders and jalapeño poppers.

Strong Cash Flow Generation. We believe that our major market focus and highly productive theatre circuit have enabled us to generate significant and stable cash flow provided by operating activities. For the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, on a pro forma basis, our net cash provided by operating activities totaled $150.6 million. For the fiscal year ended April 1, 2010, on a pro forma basis, our net cash provided by operating activities totaled $295.3 million. This strong cash flow will enable us to continue our deployment of premium formats and services and to finance planned capital expenditures without relying on the capital markets for funding. In addition, in future years, we expect to continue to generate cash flow sufficient to allow us to grow our revenues, maintain our facilities, service our indebtedness and make dividend payments to our stockholder.

Management Team Uniquely Positioned to Execute. Our management team has a unique combination of industry experiences and skill-sets, equipping them to effectively execute our strategies. Our CEO's broad experience in a number of consumer packaged goods and entertainment-related businesses expands our growth perspectives beyond traditional theatrical exhibition and has increased our focus on providing more value to our guests. Recent additions, including a Chief Marketing Officer, heads of Food and Beverage, Programming and Development/Real Estate and a Senior Vice President for Strategy and Strategic Partnerships, augment our deep bench of industry experience. The expanded breadth of our management team complements the established team that is focused on for operational excellence, innovation and successful industry consolidation.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to leverage our modern theatre circuit and major market position to lead the industry in consumer-focused innovation and financial operating metrics. The use of emerging premium formats and our focus on the guest experience give us a unique opportunity to leverage our theatre circuit and major market position across our platform. Our primary goal is to maintain our company's and the industry's social relevance and to offer consumers distinctive, affordable and compelling out-of-home entertainment alternatives that capture a greater share of their personal time and spend. We have a two-pronged strategy to accomplish this goal: first, drive consumer-related growth and second, focus on operational excellence.

Drive Consumer-Related Growth

Capitalize on Premium Formats. Technical innovation has allowed us to enhance the consumer experience through premium formats such as IMAX and 3D. Our customers are willing to pay a premium price for this differentiated entertainment experience. When combined with our major markets' customer base, operating a theatre circuit will enhance our capacity utilization and dynamic pricing capabilities, enabling us to achieve higher ticket prices for premium formats, and provide incremental revenue from the exhibition of alternative content such as live concerts, sporting events,

72

Table of Contents

Broadway shows, opera and other non-traditional programming. We have already seen success from the Metropolitan Opera, with respect to which, during fiscal 2010, we programmed 23 performances in 75 theatres and charged an average ticket price of $18. Within each of our major markets, we are able to charge a premium for these services relative to our smaller markets. We will continue to broaden our content offerings through the installation of additional IMAX, ETX and RealD systems and the presentation of attractive alternative content. For example:

•
  We have the leading market share of IMAX MPX digital projection systems. We expect to increase our IMAX screen count to 127 by the end of fiscal year 2012. These IMAX projection systems are slated to be installed in many of our top performing locations in major U.S. markets, each protected by geographic exclusivity. Available IMAX titles announced for calendar year 2011 are 20 as compared with 14 titles in calendar year 2010.
•
  As of December 30, 2010, we had installed 1,649 digital projectors in our existing theatre base, representing a 32% digital penetration in our theatre circuit. We intend to continue our rapid deployment of digital projectors through our arrangements with DCIP and expect to have installed over 3,800 digital projectors by the end of fiscal year 2012. We lease our digital projection systems from DCIP and therefore do not bear the majority of the cost of the digital projector rollout. Operating a digital theatre circuit provides numerous benefits, which include forming the foundation for 3D formats and alternative programming, allowing for more efficient film operations, lowering costs and enabling a better, more versatile advertising platform.
•
  To complement our deployment of digital technology, in 2006 we partnered with RealD to install their 3D systems in our theatres. As of December 30, 2010, we had 810 3D-enabled systems. During the past year, 3D films have generated approximately 40% more in attendance than the standard 2D versions of the same film at an additional $1 to $5 per ticket. Concurrent with our digital rollout, we plan on having over 2,200 RealD screens across our theatre circuit by the end of fiscal 2012. Available 3D titles for calendar year 2011 are 34 as compared with 26 titles in calendar year 2010.
•
  During fiscal 2010 and 2011, we introduced our proprietary large-screen digital format, ETX, at 11 locations. ETX features wall-to-wall screens that are 20% larger than traditional screens, a custom sound system that is three times more powerful than a traditional auditorium, and digital projection with twice the clarity of high definition. We charge a premium price for the ETX experience, which, in combination with higher attendance levels, produces average weekly box office per print that is 140% more than standard 2D versions of the same movie. We plan to have 17 ETX large screen formats by the end of fiscal year 2012.

Broaden and Enhance Food and Beverage Offerings. To address consumer trends, we are expanding our menu of premium food and beverage products to include made-to-order meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks, alcohol and other gourmet products. We plan to invest across a spectrum of enhanced food and beverage formats, from simple, less capital-intensive concession design improvements to the development of new dine-in theatre options. We have successfully implemented our dine-in theatre offerings to rejuvenate theatres approaching the end of their useful lives as traditional movie theatres and, in some of our larger theatres to more efficiently leverage their additional capacity. The costs of these conversions in some cases are partially covered by investments from the theatre landlord. We plan to continue to invest in one or more enhanced food and beverage offerings across 125 to 150 theatres over the next three years.

Maximize Guest Engagement and Loyalty. In addition to differentiating the AMC Entertainment movie-going experience by deploying new sight and sound formats, as well as food and beverage offerings, we are also focused on creating differentiation through guest marketing. We are already the most recognized theatre exhibition brand, with almost 60% brand awareness in the United States. We are actively marketing our own "AMC experience" message to our customers, focusing on every aspect

73

Table of Contents

of a customer's engagement with AMC, from the moment a guest visits our website or purchases a ticket to the moment he leaves our theatre. We have also refocused our marketing to drive active engagement with our customers through a redesigned website, Facebook, Twitter and push email campaigns. As of March 8, 2011, we had approximately 567,000 "likes" on Facebook, and we engaged directly with our guests via close to 32 million emails in fiscal 2010. In addition, our frequent moviegoer loyalty program is scheduled to re-launch during 2011 with a new, more robust fee-based program. Our loyalty program currently has approximately 1.5 million active members and a database of over 5.0 million moviegoers. Additional marketing initiatives include:

•
  The launch of amcentertainment.com and upgraded Interactive Voice Response ("IVR") systems to supplant traditional communication via newspapers with contemporary engagement platforms that offer comprehensive theatre, show time and movie-related information. Additional means of consumer engagement are being expanded to include email, social networking, and Short Message Service ("SMS") messaging.
•
  The addition of music, sports and other special events to transform our buildings into full-fledged entertainment venues. This growing complement to traditional content has grown to 62 events in fiscal 2010, including the very popular Metropolitan Opera series.
•
  Targeting film content to the ethnic/lifestyles within individual theatre trade areas, which enables us to drive incremental traffic and create greater guest engagement. Our circuit-within-a-circuit initiative includes a number of guest profiles, including independent films, Latino, Bollywood, Asian/Korean and Urban.

Focus on Operational Excellence

Disciplined Approach to Theatre Portfolio Management. We evaluate the potential for new theatres and, where appropriate, replace underperforming theatres with newer, more modern theatres that offer amenities consistent with our portfolio. We also intend to selectively pursue acquisitions where the characteristics of the location, overall market and facilities further enhance the quality of our theatre portfolio. We presently have no current plans, proposals or understandings regarding any such acquisitions. Historically, we have demonstrated a successful track record of integrating acquisitions such as Loews, General Cinema and Kerasotes. For example, our January 2006 acquisition of Loews combined two leading theatrical exhibition companies, each with a long history of operating in the industry, thereby increasing the number of screens we operated by 47%.

Continue to Achieve Operating Efficiencies. We believe that the size of our theatre circuit, our major market concentration and the breadth of our operations will allow us to continue to achieve economies of scale and further improve operating margins. Our operating strategies are focused in the following areas:

•
  Enhancing focus on leveraging our scale to lower our cost of doing business without sacrificing quality or the important elements of guest satisfaction. For example, during fiscal 2010, we reorganized our procurement function and implemented a number of other initiatives that allowed for vendor consolidation, more targeted marketing and promotional efforts, and energy management programs that generated an aggregate annual savings of approximately $15.1 million for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010.
•
  Lowering occupancy costs in many of our facilities by renegotiating rental agreements with landlords, strictly enforcing co-tenancy provisions and effective auditing of common area billings. In fiscal 2011, we negotiated rental reductions and enforced co-tenancy provisions in 7 of our leases, generating savings of $1.7 million.

74

•
  We believe that our discipline of maintaining our theatres not only reduces deferred maintenance costs but also lowers future capital requirements that might otherwise be required to maintain our facilities in first class operating condition.
•
  Creating and monetizing financial value from our strategic alliances and partnerships, such as NCM, Movietickets.com, DCIP, RealD and Open Road Films.

Film Licensing

We predominantly license "first-run" motion pictures from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors. We license films on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. We obtain these licenses based on several factors, including number of seats and screens available for a particular picture, revenue potential and the location and condition of our theatres. We pay rental fees on a negotiated basis.

During the period from 1990 to 2009, the annual number of first-run motion pictures released by distributors in the United States ranged from a low of 370 in 1995 to a high of 633 in 2008, according to the Motion Picture Association 2009 Theatrical Market Statistics.

North American film distributors typically establish geographic film licensing zones and generally allocate available film to one theatre within each zone. Film zones generally encompass a radius of three to five miles in metropolitan and suburban markets, depending primarily upon population density. In film zones where we are the sole exhibitor, we obtain film licenses by selecting a film from among those offered and negotiating directly with the distributor. As of April 1, 2010, approximately 88% of our screens in the United States and Canada were located in film licensing zones where we are the sole exhibitor.

Our licenses typically state that rental fees are based on either aggregate terms established prior to the opening of the picture or on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture run. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office receipts or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.

There are several distributors which provide a substantial portion of quality first-run motion pictures to the exhibition industry. These include Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros. Distribution, Buena Vista Pictures (Disney), Sony Pictures Releasing, and Universal Pictures. Films licensed from these distributors accounted for approximately 84% of our U.S. and Canadian admissions revenues during fiscal 2010. Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor's motion pictures in any given year. In fiscal 2010, no single distributor accounted for more than 20% of our box office admissions.

Concessions

Concessions sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Concessions items include popcorn, soft drinks, candy, hot dogs and other products. Different varieties of candy and soft drinks are offered at our theatres based on preferences in that particular geographic region. We have also implemented "combo-meals", which offer a pre-selected assortment of concessions products and offer co-branded and private label products that are unique to us.

Our strategy emphasizes prominent and appealing concessions counters designed for rapid service and efficiency. We design our megaplex theatres to have more concessions capacity to make it easier to serve larger numbers of customers. Strategic placement of large concessions stands within theatres increases their visibility, aids in reducing the length of lines, allows flexibility to introduce new concepts and improves traffic flow around the concessions stands.

75

Table of Contents

We negotiate prices for our concessions products and supplies directly with concessions vendors on a national or regional basis to obtain high volume discounts or bulk rates and marketing incentives.

Our entertainment and dining experience at certain theatres features casual and premium upscale dine-in theatre options as well as bar and lounge areas.

Properties

The following table sets forth the general character and ownership classification of our theatre circuit, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures and managed theatres, as of December 30, 2010:

Property Holding Classification |  | Theatres |  | Screens |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Owned |  |  | 26 |  |  | 195 |
Leased pursuant to ground leases |  |  | 6 |  |  | 73 |
Leased pursuant to building leases |  |  | 321 |  |  | 4,839 |
| Total |  |  | 353 |  |  | 5,107 |

Our theatre leases generally have initial terms ranging from 15 to 20 years, with options to extend the leases for up to 20 additional years. The leases typically require escalating minimum annual rent payments and additional rent payments based on a percentage of the leased theatre's revenue above a base amount and require us to pay for property taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other property-related expenses. In some instances, our escalating minimum annual rent payments are contingent upon increases in the consumer price index. In some cases, our rights as tenant are subject and subordinate to the mortgage loans of lenders to our lessors, so that if a mortgage were to be foreclosed, we could lose our lease. Historically, this has never occurred.

We lease our corporate headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri.

Currently, the majority of the concessions, projection, seating and other equipment required for each of our theatres are owned. In the future, we expect the majority of our digital projection equipment to be leased from DCIP.

Employees

As of December 30, 2010, we employed approximately 1,000 full-time and 17,000 part-time employees. Approximately 40% of our U.S. theatre associates were paid the minimum wage.

Fewer than 2% of our U.S. employees, consisting primarily of motion picture projectionists, are represented by a union, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stagehand Employees and Motion Picture Machine Operators (and affiliated local unions). We believe that our relationship with this union is satisfactory. We consider our employee relations to be good.

Theatrical Exhibition Industry and Competition

Theatrical exhibition is the primary initial distribution channel for new motion picture releases, and we believe that the theatrical success of a motion picture is often the most important factor in establishing the film's value in the other parts of the product life cycle (DVD, cable television and other ancillary markets).

Theatrical exhibition has demonstrated long-term steady growth. U.S. and Canadian box office revenues increased from $5.0 billion in 1989 to $10.5 billion in 2010, driven by increases in both ticket prices and attendance. In calendar 2010, industry box office revenues for the United States and Canada were $10.5 billion, essentially unchanged from 2009.

Table of Contents

The following table represents information about the exhibition industry obtained from the National Association of Theatre Owners ("NATO") and Rentrak.

Calendar Year |  | Box Office Revenues (in millions) |  | Attendance (in millions) |  | Average Ticket Price |  | Number of Theatres |  | Indoor Screens |  | Screens Per Theatre |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
2010 |  | $ | 10,515 |  |  | 1,334 |  | $ | 7.89 |  |  | 5,773 |  |  | 38,892 |  |  | 6.7 |
2009 |  |  | 10,600 |  |  | 1,414 |  |  | 7.50 |  |  | 5,561 |  |  | 38,605 |  |  | 6.9 |
2008 |  |  | 9,634 |  |  | 1,341 |  |  | 7.18 |  |  | 5,403 |  |  | 38,934 |  |  | 7.2 |
2007 |  |  | 9,632 |  |  | 1,400 |  |  | 6.88 |  |  | 5,545 |  |  | 38,159 |  |  | 6.9 |
2006 |  |  | 9,170 |  |  | 1,401 |  |  | 6.55 |  |  | 5,543 |  |  | 37,776 |  |  | 6.8 |
2005 |  |  | 8,820 |  |  | 1,376 |  |  | 6.41 |  |  | 5,713 |  |  | 37,092 |  |  | 6.5 |

There are approximately 816 companies competing in the North American theatrical exhibition industry, approximately 442 of which operate four or more screens. Industry participants vary substantially in size, from small independent operators to large international chains. Based on information obtained from Rentrak, we believe that the four largest exhibitors (in terms of box office revenue) generated approximately 59% of the box office revenues in 2010. This statistic is up from 33% in 2000 and is evidence that the theatrical exhibition business in the United States and Canada has been consolidating. According to NATO, average screens per theatre have increased from 6.5 in 2005 to 6.7 in 2010, which we believe is indicative of the industry's development of megaplex theatres.

Our theatres are subject to varying degrees of competition in the geographic areas in which they operate. Competition is often intense with respect to attracting patrons, licensing motion pictures and finding new theatre sites. Where real estate is readily available, there are few barriers preventing another company from opening a theatre near one of our theatres, which may adversely affect operations at our theatre. However, in certain of our densely populated major metropolitan markets, we believe a scarcity of attractive retail real estate opportunities enhances the strategic value of our existing theatres. We also believe the complexity inherent in operating in these major metropolitan markets is a deterrent to other less sophisticated competitors, protecting our market share position.

The theatrical exhibition industry faces competition from other forms of out-of-home entertainment, such as concerts, amusement parks and sporting events, and from other distribution channels for filmed entertainment, such as cable television, pay per view and home video systems, as well as from all other forms of entertainment.

Movie-going is a compelling consumer out-of-home entertainment experience. Movie theatres currently garner a relatively small share of consumer entertainment time and spend, leaving significant room for expansion and growth in the U.S. In addition, our industry benefits from available capacity to satisfy additional consumer demand without capital investment.

As major studio releases have declined in recent years, we believe companies like Open Road Films could fill an important gap that exists in the market today for consumers, movie producers and theatrical exhibitors by providing a broader availability of movies to consumers. Theatrical exhibitors are uniquely positioned to not only support, but also benefit from new distribution companies and content providers. We believe the theatrical exhibition industry will continue to be attractive for a number of key reasons, including:

A Highly Popular and Affordable Out-of-Home Entertainment Experience. Going to the movies has been one of the most popular and affordable out-of-home entertainment options for decades. The estimated average price of a movie ticket was $7.89 in calendar 2010, considerably less than other out-of-home entertainment alternatives such as concerts and sporting events. In calendar 2010, attendance at indoor movie theatres in the United States and Canada was 1.3 billion. This contrasts to the 111 million combined annual attendance generated by professional baseball, basketball and football over the same period.

77

Table of Contents

We believe the theatrical exhibition industry will continue to be attractive for a number of key reasons, including:

Adoption of Digital Technology. The theatrical exhibition industry is well underway in its overall conversion from film-based to digital projection technology. This digital conversion will position the industry with lower distribution and exhibition expenses, efficient delivery of alternative content and niche programming, and premium experiences for consumers. Digital projection also results in a premium visual experience for patrons, and digital content gives the theatre operator greater flexibility in programming. The industry will benefit from the conversion to digital delivery, alternative content, 3D formats and dynamic pricing models. As theatre exhibitors have adopted digital technology, the theatre circuits have shown enhanced productivity, profitability and efficiency. Digital technology has increased attendance and average ticket prices. Digital technology also facilitates live and pre-recorded networked and single-site meetings and corporate events in movie theatres and will allow for the distribution of live and pre-recorded entertainment content and the sale of associated sponsorships.

Long History of Steady Growth. The theatrical exhibition industry has produced steady growth in revenues over the past several decades. In recent years, net new build activity has slowed, and screen count has rationalized and is expected to decline in the near term before stabilizing, thereby increasing revenue per screen for existing theatres. The combination of the popularity of movie-going, its steady long-term growth characteristics and consolidation and the industry's relative maturity makes theatrical exhibition a high cash flow generating business today. Box office revenues in the United States and Canada have increased from $5.0 billion in 1989 to $10.5 billion in 2010, driven by increases in both ticket prices and attendance across multiple economic cycles. The industry has also demonstrated its resilience to economic downturns; during four of the last six recessions, attendance and box office revenues grew an average of 8.1% and 12.3%, respectively. In 2009, 32 films grossed over $100.0 million, compared to 25 in the prior year, helping to establish a new industry box office record for the year.

Importance to Content Providers. We believe that the theatrical success of a motion picture is often the key determinant in establishing the film's value in the other parts of the product life cycle, such as DVD, cable television, merchandising and other ancillary markets. For each $1.00 of theatrical box office receipts, an average of $1.33 of additional revenue is generated in the remainder of a film's product life cycle. As a result, we believe motion picture studios will continue to work cooperatively with theatrical exhibitors to ensure the continued value of the theatrical window.

Regulatory Environment

The distribution of motion pictures is, in large part, regulated by federal and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases. The consent decrees resulting from one of those cases, to which we were not a party, have a material impact on the industry and us. Those consent decrees bind certain major motion picture distributors and require the motion pictures of such distributors to be offered and licensed to exhibitors, including us, on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Consequently, we cannot assure ourselves of a supply of motion pictures by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must compete for our licenses on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis.

Our theatres must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA. Compliance with the ADA requires that public accommodations "reasonably accommodate" individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to "commercial facilities" conform to accessibility guidelines unless "structurally impracticable" for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. Non-compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, fines, and awards of damages to private litigants or additional capital expenditures to remedy such noncompliance. Although we believe that our theatres are in substantial compliance with the ADA, in

78

Table of Contents

January 1999 the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, or the Department, filed suit against us alleging that certain of our theatres with stadium-style seating violate the ADA. In separate rulings in 2002 and 2003, the Court ruled against us in the "line of sight" and the "non-line of sight" aspects of this case. In 2003, the Court entered a consent order and final judgment about the non-line of sight aspects of this case. On December 5, 2008, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the trial court as to the appropriate remedy and remanded the case back to the trial court for findings consistent with its decision. The Company and the Department have reached a settlement regarding the extent of betterments related to the remaining remedies required for line-of-sight violations which the parties believe are consistent with the Ninth Circuit's decision. The trial court approved the settlement on November 29, 2010. The improvements will likely be made over a five year term. The company has recorded a liability of $75,000 for compensation to claimants and fines related to this matter.

As an employer covered by the ADA, we must make reasonable accommodations to the limitations of employees and qualified applicants with disabilities, provided that such reasonable accommodations do not pose an undue hardship on the operation of our business. In addition, many of our employees are covered by various government employment regulations, including minimum wage, overtime and working conditions regulations.

Our operations also are subject to federal, state and local laws regulating such matters as construction, renovation and operation of theatres as well as wages and working conditions, citizenship, health and sanitation requirements and licensing. We believe our theatres are in material compliance with such requirements.

We also own and operate theatres and other properties which may be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection. Certain of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on certain statutory classes of persons for the costs of investigation or remediation of contamination, regardless of fault or the legality of original disposal. We believe our theatres are in material compliance with such requirements.

Seasonality

Our revenues are dependent upon the timing of motion picture releases by distributors. The most marketable motion pictures are usually released during the summer and the year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business is highly seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are party to various legal actions. Except as described below, management believes that the potential exposure, if any, from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company.

United States of America v. AMC Entertainment Inc. and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. 99 01034 FMC (SHx), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). On January 29, 1999, the Department filed suit alleging that the company's stadium style theatres violated the ADA and related regulations. The Department alleged the company had failed to provide persons in wheelchairs seating arrangements with lines-of-sightcomparable to the general public. The Department alleged various non-line-of-sight violations as well. The Department sought declaratory and injunctive relief regarding existing and future theatres with stadium-style seating, compensatory damages in the approximate amount of $75,000 and a civil penalty of $110,000.

As to line-of-sight matters, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department as to both liability and as to the appropriate remedy. On December 5, 2008, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the trial court as to the appropriate remedy and remanded the case back to the trial

court for findings consistent with its decision. The company and the Department reached a settlement regarding the extent of betterments and remedies required for line-of-sight violations which the parties believe are consistent with the Ninth Circuit's decision. The trial court approved the settlement on November 29, 2010. The betterments will be made over a 5 year term and the company estimates the unpaid cost of such betterments to be approximately $5.0 million. The company has recorded a liability of $75,000 for compensation to claimants and fines related to this matter.

As to the non-line-of-sight aspects of the case, on January 21, 2003, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department on matters such as parking areas, signage, ramps, location of toilets, counter heights, ramp slopes, companion seating and the location and size of handrails. On December 5, 2003, the trial court entered a consent order and final judgment on nonline- of-sight issues under which the company agreed to remedy certain violations at its stadium-style theatres and at certain theatres it may open in the future. Currently, the company estimates that remaining betterments are required at approximately 45 stadium-style theatres. The Company estimates that the unpaid costs of these betterments will be approximately $16.7 million. The estimate is based on actual costs incurred on remediation work completed to date. The actual costs of betterments may vary based on the results of surveys of the remaining theatres.

Michael Bateman v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. CV07-00171). In January 2007, a class action complaint was filed against the company in the Central District of the United States District Court of California (the "District Court") alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACTA"). FACTA provides in part that neither expiration dates nor more than the last 5 numbers of a credit or debit card may be printed on receipts given to customers. FACTA imposes significant penalties upon violators where the violation is deemed to have been willful. Otherwise damages are limited to actual losses incurred by the card holder. On October 24, 2008, the District Court denied plaintiff's renewed motion for class certification. On September 27, 2010, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the District Court's order and remanded the proceedings for a new determination consistent with their opinion. The company filed its Petition for En Banc and/or Panel Rehearing on October 8, 2010. The parties have reached a tentative settlement, subject to court approval, which is not expected to have a material adverse impact to the company's financial condition.

On May 14, 2009, Harout Jarchafjian filed a similar lawsuit alleging that the company willfully violated FACTA and seeking statutory damages, but without alleging any actual injury (Jarchafjian v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (C.D. Cal. Case No. CV09-03434). The Jarchafjian case has been deemed related to the Bateman case and was stayed pending a Ninth Circuit decision in the Bateman case, which has now been issued. The parties have reached a tentative settlement, subject to court approval, which is not expected to have a material adverse impact to the company's financial condition.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This section discusses the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, our three other most highly compensated executive officers as well as an additional executive officer whose compensation otherwise would have been subject to reporting had there not been any option grants in fiscal 2010. These individuals are referred to as the "Named Executive Officers."

Our executive compensation programs are determined and approved by our Compensation Committee. None of the Named Executive Officers are members of the Compensation Committee or otherwise had any role in determining the compensation of other Named Executive Officers, although the Compensation Committee does consider the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer in setting compensation levels for our executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.

Executive Compensation Program Objectives and Overview

The goals of the Compensation Committee with respect to executive compensation are to attract, retain, motivate and reward talented executives, to tie annual and long-term compensation incentives to the achievement of specified performance objectives, and to achieve long-term creation of value for our stockholders by aligning the interests of these executives with those of our stockholders. To achieve these goals, we endeavor to maintain compensation plans that are intended to tie a substantial portion of executives' overall compensation to key strategic, operational and financial goals such as achievement of budgeted levels of adjusted EBITDA or revenue, and other non-financial goals that the Compensation Committee deems important. From time to time, the Compensation Committee evaluates individual executive performance with a goal of setting compensation at levels they believe, based on industry comparables and their general business and industry knowledge and experience, are comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development operating in the theatrical exhibition industry and similar retail type businesses, while taking into account our relative performance and our own strategic goals.

We conduct a periodic review of the aggregate level of our executive compensation as part of the annual budget review and annual performance review processes, which includes determining the operating metrics and non-financial elements used to measure our performance and to compensate our executive officers. This review is based on our knowledge of how other theatrical exhibition industry and similar retail type businesses measure their executive performance and on the key operating metrics that are critical in our effort to increase the value of our company.

Current Executive Compensation Program Elements

Our executive compensation program consists of the elements described in the following sections. The Compensation Committee determines the portion of compensation allocated to each element for each individual Named Executive Officer. Our Compensation Committee expects to continue these policies in the short term but will reevaluate the current policies and practices as it considers advisable.

The Compensation Committee believes based on their general business and industry experience and knowledge that the use of the combination of base salary, discretionary annual performance bonuses, and long-term incentives (including stock option or other stock-based awards) offers the best approach to achieving our compensation goals, including attracting and retaining talented and capable executives and motivating our executives and other officers to expend maximum effort to improve the business results, earnings and overall value of our business.

Table of Contents

Base Salaries

Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation for similar positions, as well as seniority of the individual, our ability to replace the individual and other primarily judgmental factors deemed relevant by the Compensation Committee. Generally, we believe that executive base salaries should be targeted near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, in line with our compensation philosophy, but we do not make any determinations or changes in compensation in reaction to market data alone. The Compensation Committee's goal is to provide total compensation packages that are competitive with prevailing practices in our industry and in the geographic markets in which we conduct business. However, the Compensation Committee retains flexibility within the compensation program to respond to and adjust for specific circumstances and our evolving business environment. Periodically, the Company obtains information regarding the salaries of employees at comparable companies, including approximately 150 multi-unit businesses in the retail, entertainment and food service industries. Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are reviewed at appropriate times by the Compensation Committee and may be increased from time to time pursuant to such review and/or in accordance with guidelines contained in the various employment agreements in order to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers were essentially unchanged from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2010.

Annual Performance Bonus

The Compensation Committee has the authority to award annual performance bonuses to our Named Executive Officers. Under the current employment agreements, each Named Executive Officer is eligible for an annual bonus based on our annual incentive compensation program as it may exist from time to time. We believe that annual bonuses based on performance serve to align the interests of management and stockholders, and our annual bonus program is primarily designed to reward increases in adjusted EBITDA. Individual bonuses are performance based and, as such, can be highly variable from year to year. The annual incentive bonuses for our Named Executive Officers are determined by our Compensation Committee and, except with respect to his own bonus, our chief executive officer, based on our annual incentive compensation program as it may exist from time to time. For fiscal 2010, the annual incentive compensation program was based on a company component and an individual component. The company component was based primarily on attainment of an adjusted EBITDA target of $314,811,000. The plan guideline was that no company performance component of the bonus would be paid below attainment of 90% of targeted adjusted EBITDA and that upon attainment of 100% of targeted adjusted EBITDA, each Named Executive Officer would receive 100% of his assigned bonus target. Upon attainment of 110% of targeted adjusted EBITDA, each Named Executive Officer would receive a maximum of 200% of his assigned bonus target. The individual component of the bonus does not have an adjusted EBITDA threshold but is based on achievement of key performance measures and overall performance and contribution to our strategic and financial goals. Under the annual incentive compensation program, our Compensation Committee and, except with respect to his own bonus, chief executive officer, retain discretion to decrease or increase bonuses relative to the guidelines based on qualitative or other objective factors deemed relevant by the Compensation Committee.

Our annual bonuses have historically been paid in cash and traditionally have been paid in a single installment in the first quarter following the completion of a given fiscal year. Pursuant to current employment agreements, each Named Executive Officer is eligible for an annual bonus pursuant to the annual incentive plan in place at the time. The Compensation Committee has discretion to increase the annual bonus paid to our Named Executive Officers using its judgment if the Company exceeds certain financial goals, or to reward for achievement of individual annual performance objectives. Our Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have approved bonus amounts that have been paid in fiscal 2011 for the performance during fiscal 2010. We obtained an adjusted EBITDA of 104% of target for fiscal 2010 which is equivalent to an approximate 142% payout of the assigned bonus target. The individual component of the bonus was determined following a review of each Named Executive Officer's individual performance and contribution to our strategic and financial goals. For fiscal 2010, this review was conducted during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Special Incentive Bonus

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Gerardo Lopez is entitled to a one-time special incentive bonus of $2,000,000 that vests at the rate of $400,000 per year over five years, effective March 2009, provided that he remains employed on each vesting date. The first three installments of the special incentive bonus are payable on the third anniversary and the fourth and fifth installments are payable upon vesting. The special incentive bonus of $2,000,000 shall immediately vest in full upon Mr. Lopez's involuntary termination within twelve months after a change of control, as defined in the employment agreement. As of April 1, 2010, Mr. Lopez has vested in one-fifth, or $400,000, of this special incentive bonus to be paid on his third anniversary.

Long Term Incentive Equity Awards

In connection with the holdco merger, on June 11, 2007, we adopted an amended and restated 2004 stock option plan (formerly known as the 2004 Stock Option Plan), which provides for the grant of incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code) and non-qualified stock options to acquire our common stock to eligible employees and consultants and our non-employee directors. Options granted under the plan vest in equal installments over three to five years from the grant date, subject to the optionee's continued service with Parent or one of its subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee approved stock option grants to Mr. Robert Lenihan and Mr. Samuel Gourley during fiscal 2010.

Retirement Benefits

We provide retirement benefits to the Named Executive Officers under both qualified and non-qualified defined-benefit and defined-contribution retirement plans. The Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan for Certain Employees of American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC Defined

89

Table of Contents

Benefit Retirement Income Plan") and the AMC 401(k) Savings Plan are both tax-qualified retirement plans in which the Named Executive Officers participate on substantially the same terms as our other participating employees. However, due to maximum limitations imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and the Internal Revenue Code on the annual amount of a pension which may be paid under a qualified defined-benefit plan and on the maximum amount that may be contributed to a qualified defined-contribution plan, the benefits that would otherwise be payable to the Named Executive Officers under the Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan are limited. Because we did not believe that it was appropriate for the Named Executive Officers' retirement benefits to be reduced because of limits under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, we had established non-qualified supplemental defined-benefit plans that permit the Named Executive Officers to receive the same benefit that would be paid under our qualified defined-benefit plan up to the old IRS limit, as indexed, as if the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 had not been in effect. On November 7, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a proposal to freeze the AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan and our supplemental defined-benefit plans, the AMC Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the AMC Retirement Enhancement Plan, effective as of December 31, 2006. The Compensation Committee determined that these types of plans are not as effective as other elements of compensation in aligning executives' interests with the interests of stockholders, a particularly important consideration for a public company. As a result, the Compensation Committee determined to freeze these plans. Benefits no longer accrue under the AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan, the AMC Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan or the AMC Retirement Enhancement Plan for our Named Executive Officers or for other participants.

Effective for fiscal year 2010, under our 401(k) Savings Plan, we matched 50% of each eligible employee's elective contributions up to 6% of the employee's eligible compensation. Previously, Holdings matched 100% of elective contributions up to 5% of employee compensation.

The "Pension Benefits" table and related narrative section "—Pension and Other Retirement Plans" below describes our qualified and non-qualified defined-benefit plans in which our Named Executive Officers participate.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Program

Named Executive Officers are permitted to elect to defer base salaries and their annual bonuses under the AMC Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. We believe that providing the Named Executive Officers with deferred compensation opportunities is a cost-effective way to permit officers to receive the tax benefits associated with delaying the income tax event on the compensation deferred, even though the related deduction for the Companies is also deferred.

The "Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation" table and related narrative section "—Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan" below describe the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and the benefits thereunder.

Severance and Other Benefits Upon Termination of Employment

We believe that severance protections, particularly in the context of a change in control transaction, can play a valuable role in attracting and retaining key executive officers. Accordingly, we provide such protections for each of the Named Executive Officers and for other of our senior officers in their respective employment agreements. The Compensation Committee evaluates the level of severance benefits provided to Named Executive Officers on a case-by-case basis. We consider these severance protections consistent with competitive practices.

As described in more detail below under "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" pursuant to their employment agreements, each of the Named Executive Officers would be entitled to severance benefits in the event of termination of employment without cause and certain

90

Table of Contents

Named Executive Officers would be entitled to severance benefits due to death or disability. In the case of Mr. Lopez, resignation for good reason would also entitle the employee to severance benefits. We have determined that it is appropriate to provide these executives with severance benefits under these circumstances in light of their positions and as part of their overall compensation package.

We believe that the occurrence, or potential occurrence, of a change in control transaction will create uncertainty regarding the continued employment of our executive officers. This uncertainty results from the fact that many change in control transactions result in significant organizational changes, particularly at the senior executive level. In order to encourage certain of our executive officers to remain employed with us during an important time when their prospects for continued employment following the transaction are often uncertain, we provide the executives with severance benefits if they terminate their employment within a certain number of days following specified changes in their compensation, responsibilities or benefits following a change in control. No claim for severance due to a change in control has been made by an executive who is a party to an employment agreement providing for such severance benefits since the merger of Marquee Inc. with AMCE (then a change in control for purposes of the agreements). The severance benefits for these executives are generally determined as if they continued to remain employed by us for two years following their actual termination date.

Perquisites

The perquisites provided to each Named Executive Officer during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 are reported in the All Other Compensation column of the "Summary Compensation Table" below, and are further described in footnote (5) to that table. Perquisites consist of matching contributions under our 401(k) savings plan, which is a qualified defined contribution plan, life insurance premiums, awards and gifts, relocation expenses, on-site parking, and an award of theatre chairs. Perquisites are benchmarked and reviewed, revised and approved by the Compensation Committee every year.

Policy with Respect to Section 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows public companies a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to their chief executive officers and the four other most highly compensated executive officers unless certain performance and other requirements are met. Our intent generally is to design and administer executive compensation programs in a manner that will preserve the deductibility of compensation paid to our executive officers, and we believe that a substantial portion of our current executive compensation program (including the stock options and other awards that may be granted to our Named Executive Officers as described above) satisfies the requirements for exemption from the $1,000,000 deduction limitation. However, we reserve the right to design programs that recognize a full range of performance criteria important to our success, even where the compensation paid under such programs may not be deductible. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor the tax and other consequences of our executive compensation program as part of its primary objective of ensuring that compensation paid to our executive officers is reasonable, performance-based and consistent with the goals of AMC Entertainment and our stockholders.

Actions Taken After Fiscal 2010

On July 8, 2010, our board of directors approved the adoption of the AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which is described in more detail under "—Equity Incentive Plans" below. Our Compensation Committee intends that future equity-based awards will be made pursuant to the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.

  The Compensation Committee has determined the amounts of the annual incentive plan compensation that will be paid to each Named Executive Officer for fiscal 2010. We paid those amounts during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. No bonuses were earned in fiscal 2009 and 2008 under the annual incentive bonus program as we did not meet the minimum targeted adjusted EBITDA threshold established by the Compensation Committee. Further discussion on the annual incentive bonus program for the Named Executive Officers can be found in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Annual Performance Bonus section.

Compensation of Named Executive Officers

The Summary Compensation Table above quantifies the value of the different forms of compensation earned by or awarded to our Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2010. The primary elements of each Named Executive Officer's total compensation reported in the table are base salary and annual bonus.

The Summary Compensation Table should be read in conjunction with the tables and narrative descriptions that follow. A description of the material terms of each Named Executive Officer's base salary and annual bonus is provided below.

The "Pension Benefits" table and related description of the material terms of our pension plans describe each Named Executive Officer's retirement benefits under the Companies' defined-benefit pension plans to provide context to the amounts listed in the Summary Compensation Table. The discussion in the section "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" explains the potential future payments that may become payable to our Named Executive Officers.

Description of Employment Agreements—Salary and Bonus Amounts

We have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Lopez, Ramsey, McDonald, Lenihan, Connor, and Gourley. Provisions of these agreements relating to outstanding equity incentive awards and post-termination of employment benefits are discussed below.

Gerardo I. Lopez. On February 23, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement with Gerardo I. Lopez to serve as its Chief Executive Officer and President. The term of the agreement is for three years, with automatic one-year extensions each year. The agreement provides that Mr. Lopez will receive an initial annualized base salary of $700,000. The Compensation Committee, based on its review, has discretion to increase (but not reduce) the base salary each year.

The agreement provides that Mr. Lenihan will receive an initial annualized base salary of $410,000 subject to review by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Based on their review, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee have discretion to increase (but not reduce) the base salary each year. The agreement also provides for annual bonuses for Mr. Lenihan based on the applicable incentive compensation program of the Company. The target incentive bonus for each fiscal year during the period of employment shall equal 50% of the base salary. In making its determination with respect to salary and bonus levels, the Compensation Committee considers the factors discussed in the "Current Executive Compensation Program Elements" of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above. In addition, the agreement provides that Mr. Lenihan will be eligible for benefits offered by the Company to other executive officers and will be entitled to reimbursements for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with carrying out the Executive's duties for the Company.

On May 28, 2009, Mr. Lenihan and Mr. Gourley received a grant of stock options to purchase 1,023 and 685 shares, respectively of Class N Common Stock at a price equal to $339.59 per share. The options will vest in five equal annual installments, subject to their continued employment. The options shall expire after ten years from the date of the grant. The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value method of accounting and has elected to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term for "plain vanilla" share option grants as it does not have enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate.

  The accumulated benefit is based on service and earnings considered by the plans for the period through April 1, 2010. It includes the value of contributions made by the Named Executive Officers throughout their careers. The present value has been calculated assuming the Named Executive Officers will remain in service until age 65, the age at which retirement may occur without any reduction in benefits, and that the benefit is payable under the available forms of annuity consistent with the plans. The interest assumption is 6.16%. The post-retirement mortality assumption is based on the 2010 IRS Prescribed Mortality-Static Annuitant, male and female mortality table. See note 11 to the Company's consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus for more information.

Pension and Other Retirement Plans

We provide retirement benefits to the Named Executive Officers under the terms of qualified and non-qualified defined-benefit plans. The AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan in which the Named Executive Officers participate on substantially the same terms as our other participating employees. However, due to maximum limitations imposed by ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code on the annual amount of a pension which may be paid under a qualified defined-benefit plan, the benefits that would otherwise be payable to the Named Executive Officers under the Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan are limited. Because we did not believe that it was appropriate for the Named Executive Officers' retirement benefits to be reduced because of limits under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, we have non-qualified supplemental defined-benefit plans that permit the Named Executive Officers to receive the same benefit that would be paid under our qualified defined-benefit plan up to the old IRS limit, as indexed, as if the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 had not been in effect. On November 7, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a proposal to freeze the AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan, and our supplemental plans, the AMC Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the AMC Retirement Enhancement Plan, effective as of December 31, 2006. As amended, benefits do not accrue after December 31, 2006, but vesting continues for associates with less than five years of vesting service. The material terms of the AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan, the AMC Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the AMC Retirement Enhancement Plan are described below.

98

Table of Contents

AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan. The AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan is a non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. As mentioned above, the plan was frozen effective December 31, 2006.

The plan provides benefits to certain of our employees based upon years of credited service and the highest consecutive five-year average annual remuneration for each participant. For purposes of calculating benefits, average annual compensation is limited by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is based upon wages, salaries and other amounts paid to the employee for personal services, excluding certain special compensation. Under the defined benefit plan, a participant earns a vested right to an accrued benefit upon completion of five years of vesting service.

AMC Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. AMC also sponsors a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan to provide the same level of retirement benefits that would have been provided under the retirement plan had the federal tax law not been changed in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 to reduce the amount of compensation which can be taken into account in a qualified retirement plan. The plan was frozen, effective December 31, 2006, and no new participants can enter the plan and no additional benefits can accrue thereafter.

Subject to the forgoing, any individual who is eligible to receive a benefit from the AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan after qualifying for early, normal or late retirement benefits thereunder, the amount of which is reduced by application of the maximum limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, is eligible to participate in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

The benefit payable to a participant equals the monthly amount the participant would receive under the AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan without giving effect to the maximum recognizable compensation for qualified retirement plan purposes imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, less the monthly amount of the retirement benefit actually payable to the participant under the AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan, each as calculated as of December 31, 2006. The benefit is an amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of his/her benefit, computed by the formula above, payable in either a lump sum (in certain limited circumstances, specified in the plan) or equal semi-annual installments over a period of two to ten years, with such form, and, if applicable, period, having been irrevocably elected by the participant.

If a participant's employment terminates for any reason (or no reason) before the earliest date he/she qualifies for early, normal or late retirement benefits under the AMC Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan, no benefit is payable under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

We permit the Named Executive Officers and other key employees to elect to receive a portion of their compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table on a deferred basis. Deferrals of compensation during fiscal 2010 and in recent years have been made under the AMC Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Participants of the plan are able to defer annual salary and bonus (excluding commissions, expense reimbursement or allowances, cash and non-cash fringe benefits and any stock-based incentive compensation). Amounts deferred under the plans are credited with an investment return determined as if the participant's account were invested in one or more investment funds made available by the Committee and selected by the participant. We may, but need not, credit the deferred compensation account of any participant with a discretionary or profit sharing credit as determined by us. The deferred compensation account will be distributed either in a lump sum payment or in equal annual installments over a term not to exceed 10 years as elected by the participant and may be distributed pursuant to in-service withdrawals pursuant to certain circumstances. Any such payment shall commence upon the date of a "Qualifying Distribution Event" (as such term is defined in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan). The Qualifying Distribution Events are designed to be compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Gerardo Lopez is entitled to a one-time special incentive bonus of $2,000,000 that vests at the rate of $400,000 per year over five years, effective March 2009, provided that he remains employed on each vesting date. The first three installments of the special incentive bonus are payable on the third anniversary and the fourth and fifth installments are payable upon vesting. The special incentive bonus of $2,000,000 shall immediately vest in full upon Mr. Lopez's involuntary termination within twelve months after a change of control, as defined in the employment agreement. As of April 1, 2010, Mr. Lopez has vested in one-fifth, or $400,000, of this special incentive bonus to be paid on his third anniversary.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following section describes the benefits that may become payable to certain Named Executive Officers in connection with a termination of their employment and/or a change in control, changes in responsibilities, salary or benefits. In addition to the benefits described below, outstanding equity-based awards held by our Named Executive Officers may also be subject to accelerated vesting in connection with a change in control of Holdings under the terms of our 2004 Stock Option Plan. Furthermore, upon a termination following a "Change of Control" (as such term is defined in the AMC Retirement

100

Table of Contents

Enhancement Plan), the Named Executive Officer is entitled to his accrued benefits payable thereunder in a form of payment that he has previously chosen. The Retirement Enhancement Plan and the present value of benefits accumulated under the plan are described above in the table "Pension Benefits" and the accompanying narrative "Pension and Other Retirement Plans."

Assumptions. As prescribed by the SEC's disclosure rules, in calculating the amount of any potential payments to the Named Executive Officers under the arrangements described below, we have assumed that the applicable triggering event (i.e., termination of employment and/or change in control) occurred on the last business day of fiscal 2010 and that the price per share of our common stock is equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock as of that date.

Gerardo I. Lopez

Mr. Lopez's employment agreement, described above under "—Description of Employment Agreements—Salary and Bonus Amounts," provides for certain benefits to be paid to Mr. Lopez in connection with a termination of his employment under the circumstances described below.

Severance Benefits. In the event Mr. Lopez's employment is terminated as a result of an involuntary termination during the employment term without cause pursuant to a termination for death, "Disability", or by Mr. Lopez pursuant to a termination for "Good Reason" or after a "Change of Control" (as those terms are defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Lopez will be entitled to severance pay equal to two times the sum of his base salary plus the average of each Incentive Bonus paid to the Executive during the 24 months preceding the severance date (or previous year, if he has not been employed for two bonus cycles as of the severance date). If his employment is terminated before determination of the first Incentive Bonus for which he is eligible under the agreement, then the amount shall be based upon the average actual percentage of target bonus paid to executive officers who participated in the Company's annual bonus plan in the preceding year. In addition, upon such a qualifying termination, the stock options granted pursuant to the employment agreement shall vest in full. The special incentive bonus equal to $2,000,000, which vests in equal annual installments over five years, shall immediately vest and be paid in full upon the involuntary termination of employment within twelve months after a change of control.

If Mr. Lopez had terminated employment with us on April 1, 2010 pursuant to his employment agreement under the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph, we estimate that he would have been entitled to a cash payment equal to $1,400,000. This amount is derived by multiplying two by the sum of $700,000, which represents Mr. Lopez's annualized base salary rate in effect on April 1, 2010. Additionally, Mr. Lopez would have been entitled to accelerated vesting of unvested stock options with a grant date fair value of $2,068,847 (based on a Black Sholes formula as of March 6, 2009). The special incentive bonus of $2,000,000 shall immediately vest and be paid in full upon Mr. Lopez's involuntary termination within twelve months after a change of control.

Other Named Executive Officers

The employment agreements for each of the other Named Executive Officers, described above under "—Description of Employment Agreements—Salary and Bonus Amounts," provide for certain benefits to be paid to the executive in connection with a termination of his employment under the circumstances described below and/or a change in control.

Severance Benefits. In the event the executive's employment is terminated during the employment term as a result of the executive's death or "Disability" or by us pursuant to a "Termination Without Cause" or by the executive following certain changes in his responsibilities, annual base salary or benefits, the executive (or his personal representative) will be entitled to a lump cash severance payment equal to one or two years of his base salary then in effect.

101

Table of Contents

Upon a termination of employment with us on April 1, 2010 under the circumstances described in the preceding paragraph, we estimate that each Named Executive Officer (other than Mr. Lopez) would have been entitled to a lump sum cash payment as follows: Mr. Craig Ramsey—$770,000; Mr. John McDonald—$770,000; Mr. Robert Lenihan—$820,000; Mr. Kevin Connor—$650,000; and Mr. Samuel Gourley—$287,500. These amounts are derived by multiplying two by the respective executive's annualized base salary rate in effect on April 1, 2010, except for Mr. Gourley who would receive a lump sum amount equal to one year base salary plus the amount of any annual market allowance. Mr. Lenihan is not entitled to severance benefits for an employment termination resulting from death or "Disability".

Restrictive Covenants. Pursuant to each Named Executive Officer's employment agreement, the executive has agreed not to disclose any confidential information of ours at any time during or after his employment with American Multi-Cinema, Inc./AMCE.

Director Compensation—Fiscal 2010

The following section presents information regarding the compensation paid during fiscal 2010 to members of our Board of Directors who are not also our employees (referred to herein as "Non-Employee Directors"). The compensation paid to Mr. Gerardo I. Lopez, who is also an employee, is presented above in the Summary Compensation Table and the related explanatory tables. Mr. Lopez did not receive additional compensation for his service as a director.

Non-Employee Directors

We paid our directors an annual cash retainer of $50,000, plus $1,500 for each meeting of the board of directors they attended in person or by phone, plus $1,000 for each committee meeting they attended. We also reimbursed all directors for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with their services provided in such capacity.

The following table presents information regarding the compensation of our non-employee Directors in fiscal 2010:

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee members whose names appear on the Compensation Committee Report were committee members during all of fiscal 2010. No member of the Compensation Committee is or has been a former or current executive officer of the Company or has had any relationships requiring disclosure by the Company under the SEC's rules requiring disclosure of certain relationships and related-party transactions. None of the Company's executive officers served as a

102

Table of Contents

director or a member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or on the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended April 1, 2010.

Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors executes its oversight responsibility for risk management directly and through its Committees, as follows:

The Audit Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing the Company's Enterprise Risk Management, or "ERM", program. The Company's Director of Reporting and Control, who reports to the Audit Committee quarterly, facilitates the ERM program with consideration given to our Annual Operating Plan and with direct input obtained from the Senior Leadership Team, or "SLT"—the heads of our principal business and corporate functions—and their direct reports, under the executive sponsorship of our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and our Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. The Audit Committee's meeting agendas include discussions of individual risk areas throughout the year, as well as an annual summary of the ERM process.

The Board of Directors' other committees oversee risks associated with their respective areas of responsibility. For example, the Compensation Committee considers the risks associated with our compensation policies and practices, with respect to both executive compensation and compensation generally. The Board of Directors is kept abreast of its committees' risk oversight and other activities via reports of the Committee Chairmen to the full Board. These reports are presented at every regular Board of Directors meeting and include discussions of committee agenda topics, including matters involving risk oversight.

The Board of Directors considers specific risk topics, including risks associated with our Annual Operating Plan and our capital structure. In addition, the Board of Directors receives detailed regular reports from the members of our SLT that include discussions of the risks and exposures involved in their respective areas of responsibility. Further, the Board of Directors is routinely informed of developments that could affect our risk profile or other aspects of our business.

Policies and Practices as They Relate to Risk Management

The Compensation Committee believes the elements of the Company's executive compensation program effectively link performance-based compensation to financial goals and stockholder interests without encouraging executives to take unnecessary or excessive risks in the pursuit of those objectives. The Compensation Committee believes that the overall mix of compensation elements is appropriately balanced and does not encourage the taking of short-term risks at the expense of long-term results. Long-term incentives for our executives are awarded in the form of equity instruments reflecting, or valued by reference to, our common stock. Long-term incentive awards are generally made on an annual basis and are subject to a multi-year vesting schedule which helps ensure that award recipients always have significant value tied to long-term stock price performance. The Compensation Committee believes that the combination of granting the majority of long-term incentives in the form of option awards, together with the Company stock actually owned by our executives, appropriately links the long-term interests of executives and stockholders, and balances the short-term nature of annual incentive cash bonuses and any incentives for undue risk-taking in our other compensation arrangements.

Equity Incentive Plans

As of the date of this prospectus, our employees and directors hold outstanding stock options for the purchase of up to approximately 38,019 shares of Parent's common stock. Those options were granted under the AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan

103

Table of Contents

(the "2004 Plan") and our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. As of January 21, 2011, approximately 14,179 of those options had vested and the balance were not vested. The exercise prices of the outstanding options ranged from $323.95 per share to $752 per share and each of those options had a maximum term of ten years from the applicable date of grant.

The following sections provide more detailed information concerning our incentive plans and the shares that are available for future awards under these plans. Each summary below is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the relevant plan document and/or option agreement, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is an exhibit to the Form S-1 Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part and is available through the Securities and Exchange Commission's internet site at http://www.sec.gov.

2004 Plan

We adopted the 2004 Plan as amended and restated as of July 11, 2007. Under the 2004 Plan, we are generally authorized to grant options to purchase shares of our common stock to certain of our employees, non-employee directors and consultants and certain employees of our subsidiaries. Options under the 2004 Plan are either incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or nonqualified stock options. All options granted under the plan expire no later than ten years from their date of grant. No new awards will be granted under the 2004 Plan after the consummation of this offering.

Our Compensation Committee administers the 2004 Plan. As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan and the exercise prices of those awards, are subject to adjustment in the event of changes in our capital structure, reorganizations and other extraordinary events. In the event of a corporate event (as defined in the plan), the plan administrator has discretion to provide for the accelerated vesting of awards, among other things.

Our board of directors or our Compensation Committee may amend or terminate the 2004 Plan at any time. The 2004 Plan requires that certain amendments, to the extent required by applicable law or any applicable listing agency or deemed necessary or advisable by the board of directors, be submitted to stockholders for their approval.

On July 8, 2010, our board of directors and our stockholders approved the adoption of the AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan").

Purpose

The purpose of the 2010 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate the officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of us, and any of our subsidiaries and affiliates and to promote the success of our business by providing the participants with appropriate incentives.

Administration

The 2010 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee.

Available Shares

The aggregate number of shares of Parent's common stock for delivery pursuant to awards granted under the 2010 Plan is 39,312 shares (subject to adjustment), which may be either authorized and unissued shares of our common stock or shares of common stock held in or acquired in treasury.

Table of Contents

Subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2010 Plan, (i) the number of shares available for granting incentive stock options under the 2010 Plan will not exceed 19,652 shares and (ii) the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant each year is 7,862. To the extent shares subject to an award are not issued or delivered by reason of (i) the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other termination of an award, (ii) the withholding of such shares in satisfaction of applicable taxes or (iii) the settlement of all or a portion of an award in cash, then such shares will again be available for issuance under the 2010 Plan.

Eligibility

Directors, officers and other employees of us and of any of our subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as others performing consulting services for us or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates will be eligible for grants under the 2010 Plan.

Awards

The 2010 Plan provides for grants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards or performance-based compensation awards.

Award agreements under the 2010 Plan generally have the following features, subject to change by the Compensation Committee:

•
  Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement: 25% of the options will vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant; provided, however, that the options will become fully vested and exercisable if within one year following a Change of Control, the participant's service is terminated by us or any of our affiliates without Cause.
•
  Restricted Stock Award Agreement (Time Vesting): The restricted shares will become vested on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted shares will become fully vested if, within one year following a Change of Control, the participant's service is terminated by us or any of our affiliates without Cause.
•
  Restricted Stock Award Agreement (Performance Vesting): 25% of the restricted shares will become vested in each year over a four-year period upon us meeting certain pre-established annual performance targets; provided, however, that the restricted shares will become fully vested if within one year following a Change of Control, the participant's service is terminated by us or any of our affiliates without Cause.

"Change of Control" unless otherwise specified in the award agreement, means an event or series of events that results in any of the following: (a) a change in our ownership occurs on the date that any one person or more than one person acting as a group (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), other than our subsidiaries, acquires ownership of our stock that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of our total voting power. However, if any one person (or more than one person acting as a group) is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of our stock prior to the acquisition, any acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in our ownership; (b) a change in our effective control occurs if, during any twelve-month period, the individuals, who at the beginning of such period constitute our board of directors (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors, provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by our stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board, and provided, further, that any reductions in the size of the Board that are instituted voluntarily by the Incumbent Board shall

105

Table of Contents

not constitute a "Change of Control", and after any such reduction the "Incumbent Board" shall mean the board of directors as so reduced; or (c) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of our assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), other than any of our subsidiaries, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) our assets that have a total gross fair market value of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all our assets immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of our assets, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined in good faith by the board of directors without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets; provided, that, in no event shall a Change of Control be deemed to occur under clause (a), (b) or (c) hereof, for purposes of the 2010 Plan and any award agreement, as a result of (i) an initial public offering of our stock or (ii) a change in the majority of the Incumbent Board in connection with an initial public offering of our stock or a secondary public offering of our stock.

"Cause" means, (i) a material breach by the participant of any of the participant's obligations under any written agreement with us or any of our affiliates, (ii) a material violation by the participant of any of our policies, procedures, rules and regulations applicable to employees generally or to similarly situated employees, in each case, as they may be amended from time to time in our sole discretion; (iii) the failure by the participant to reasonably and substantially perform his or her duties to us or our affiliates (other than as a result of physical or mental illness or injury) or the failure by the participant to comply with reasonable directives of our board of directors; (iv) the participant's willful misconduct (including abuse of controlled substances) or gross negligence that is injurious to us, our affiliates or any of our respective customers, clients or employees; (v) the participant's fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds or beach of fiduciary duty against us or any of our affiliates (or any predecessor thereto or successor thereof); or (vi) the commission by the participant of a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the participant is a party to an employment agreement with us or any of our affiliates at the time of his or her termination of employment and such employment agreement contains a different definition of "cause" (or any derivation thereof), the definition in such employment agreement will control for purposes of the award agreement.

In consideration for the grants of the awards, the award agreements subject the participants to certain restrictive covenants and confidentiality obligations.

Adjustment

In the event of any corporate event or transaction involving us, any of our subsidiaries and/or affiliates such as a merger, reorganization, capitalization, stock split, spin-off, or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Compensation Committee will, to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants' rights under the 2010 Plan, substitute or adjust in its sole discretion the awards.

Amendment and Termination

Subject to the terms of the 2010 Plan, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2010 Plan, or any part thereof or any award (or award agreement), at any time. In the event any award is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 409A"), the Compensation Committee may amend the 2010 Plan and/or any award agreement without the applicable participant's prior consent to exempt the 2010 Plan and/or any award from the application of Section 409A, preserve the intended tax treatment of any such award or comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

The Governance Agreements provide that the Board of Directors for Parent, Holdings and the Company will consist of up to nine directors, two of whom shall be designated by JPMP, two of whom shall be designated by Apollo, one of whom shall be the Chief Executive Officer of Parent, one of whom shall be designated by The Carlyle Group, one of whom shall be designated by Bain Capital Partners, one of whom shall be designated by Spectrum Equity Investors and one of whom shall be designated by Bain Capital Partners, The Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Investors, voting together, so long as such designee is consented to by each of Bain Capital Partners and The Carlyle Group. Each of the directors respectively designated by JPMP, Apollo, The Carlyle Group, Bain Capital Partners and Spectrum Equity Investors shall have three votes on all matters placed before the Board of Directors of Parent, Holdings and AMCE and each other director will have one vote each. The number of directors respectively designated by the Sponsors will be reduced upon transfers by such Sponsors of ownership in Holdings below certain thresholds.

The Voting Agreement among Parent, and the pre-existing stockholders of Holdings provides that, until the fifth anniversary of the holdco merger ("Blockout Period"), the pre-existing stockholders of

Table of Contents

Holdings (other than Apollo and JPMP) will generally vote their voting shares of capital stock of Parent in favor of any matter in proportion to the shares of capital stock of Apollo and JPMP voted in favor of such matter, except in certain specified instances. The Voting Agreement among Parent and the BCS Investors further provide that during the Blockout Period, the BCS Investors will generally vote their voting shares of capital stocks of Parent on any matter as directed by any two of The Carlyle Group, Bain Capital Partners and Spectrum Equity Investors, except in certain specified instances. In addition, certain actions of Parent, Holdings and/or actions of ours, including, but not limited to, change in control transactions, acquisition or disposition transactions with a value in excess of $10,000,000, the settlement of claims or litigation in excess of $2,500,000, an initial public offering of Parent, hiring or firing a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief operating officer, incurring or refinancing indebtedness in excess of $5,000,000 or engaging in new lines of business, require the approval of either (i) any three of JPMP, Apollo, The Carlyle Group or Bain Capital Partners or (ii) Spectrum Equity Investors and (a) either JPMP or Apollo and (b) either The Carlyle Group or Bain Capital Partners (the "Requisite Stockholder Majority") if at such time they hold at least a majority of Parent's voting shares.

Prior to the earlier of the end of the Blockout Period and the completion of an initial public offering of the capital stock of Parent, Holdings or AMCE (an "IPO"), the Governance Agreements prohibit the Sponsors and the other former stockholders of Parent from transferring any of their interests in Parent, other than certain permitted transfers to affiliates or to persons approved of by the Sponsors. Following the end of the Blockout Period, the Sponsors may transfer their shares subject to the rights described below.

The Governance Agreements set forth additional transfer provisions for the Sponsors and the other former stockholders of Holdings with respect to the interests in Parent, including the following:

Right of first offer. After the Blockout Date and prior to an IPO, Parent and, in the event Parent does not exercise its right of first offer, each of its stockholders, has a right of first offer to purchase (on a pro rata basis in the case of the stockholders) all or any portion of the shares of Parent that a stockholder is proposing to sell to a third party at the price and on the terms and conditions offered by such third party.

Drag-along rights. If, prior to an IPO, Sponsors constituting a Requisite Stockholder Majority propose to transfer shares of Parent to an independent third party in a bona fide arm's-length transaction or series of transactions that results in a sale of all or substantially all of Parent or us, such Sponsors may elect to require each of the other stockholders of Parent to transfer to such third party all of its shares at the purchase price and upon the other terms and subject to the conditions of the sale.

Tag-along rights. Subject to the right of first offer described above, if any stockholder proposes to transfer shares of Parent held by it, then such stockholder shall give notice to each other stockholder, who shall each have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in the proposed transfer on the terms and conditions offered by the proposed purchaser.

Participant rights. On or prior to an IPO, the Sponsors have the pro rata right to subscribe to any issuance by Parent or any subsidiary of shares of its capital stock or any securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock, subject to certain exceptions.

The Governance Agreements also provide for certain registration rights in the event of an initial public offering of Parent, including the following:

Demand rights. Subject to the consent of at least two of any of JPMP, Apollo, The Carlyle Group and Bain Capital Partners during the first two years following an IPO, each Sponsor has the right at any time following an IPO to make a written request to Parent for registration under the Securities Act

112

Table of Contents

of part or all of the registrable equity interests held by such stockholders at Parent's expense, subject to certain limitations. Subject to the same consent requirement, the non-Sponsor stockholders of Parent as a group shall have the right at any time following an IPO to make one written request to Parent for registration under the Securities Act of part or all of the registrable equity interests held by such stockholders with an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $200,000,000.

Piggyback rights. If Parent at any time proposes to register under the Securities Act any equity interests on a form and in a manner which would permit registration of the registrable equity interests held by stockholders of Parent for sale to the public under the Securities Act, Parent shall give written notice of the proposed registration to each stockholder, who shall then have the right to request that any part of its registrable equity interests be included in such registration, subject to certain limitations.

Holdback agreements. Each stockholder has agreed that it will not offer for public sale any equity interests during a period not to exceed 90 days (180 days in the case of the IPO) after the effective date of any registration statement filed by Parent in connection with an underwritten public offering (except as part of such underwritten registration or as otherwise permitted by such underwriters), subject to certain limitations.

Amended and Restated Fee Agreement

In connection with the holdco merger, Parent, Holdings, AMCE and the Sponsors entered into a Fee Agreement, which provides for an annual management fee of $5,000,000, payable quarterly and in advance to each Sponsor, on a pro rata basis, until the twelfth anniversary from December 23, 2004, and such time as the Sponsors own less than 20% in the aggregate of Parent. In addition, the fee agreement provides for reimbursements by AMCE to the Sponsors for their out-of-pocket expenses and to Parent of up to $3,500,000 for fees payable by Parent in any single fiscal year in order to maintain its corporate existence, corporate overhead expenses and salaries or other compensation of certain employees.

Upon the consummation of a change in control transaction or an initial public offering, each of the Sponsors will receive, in lieu of quarterly payments of the annual management fee, a fee equal to the net present value of the aggregate annual management fee that would have been payable to the Sponsors during the remainder of the term of the fee agreement (assuming a twelve year term from the date of the original fee agreement), calculated using the treasury rate having a final maturity date that is closest to the twelfth anniversary of the date of the original fee agreement date. As of December 30, 2010, the Company estimates this amount would be $26.1 million should a change in control transaction or an IPO occur.

The fee agreement also provides that AMCE will indemnify the Sponsors against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising in connection with the management services provided by the Sponsors under the fee agreement.

DCIP

In February 2007, Mr. Travis Reid was hired as the chief executive officer of DCIP, a joint venture between AMCE, Cinemark USA and Regal formed to implement digital cinema in our theatres and to create a financing model and establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the implementation of digital cinema. Mr. Reid was a member of the Company's Board of Directors until October 15, 2010.

On March 10, 2010 DCIP completed its financing transactions for the deployment of digital projection systems to nearly 14,000 movie theatre screens across North America, including screens operated or managed by AMC Entertainment Inc., Cinemark Holdings, Inc. ("Cinemark") and Regal Entertainment Group ("Regal"). At closing the Company contributed 342 projection systems that it

113

Table of Contents

owned to DCIP which were recorded at estimated fair value as part of an additional investment in DCIP of $21,768,000. The Company also made cash investments in DCIP of $840,000 at closing and DCIP made a distribution of excess cash to us after the closing date and prior to year-end of $1,262,000. The Company recorded a loss on contribution of the 342 projection systems of $563,000, based on the difference between estimated fair value and its carrying value on the date of contribution. On March 26, 2010 the Company acquired 117 digital projectors from third party lessors for $6,784,000 and sold them together with seven digital projectors that it owned to DCIP for $6,570,000. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of these 124 systems to DCIP of $697,000. As of December 30, 2010, the Company operated 1,649 digital projection systems leased from DCIP pursuant to operating leases and anticipates that it will have deployed 4,000 of these systems in its existing theatres over the next three to four years. The additional digital projection systems will allow the Company to add additional 3D screens to its circuit where the Company is generally able to charge a higher admission price than 2D.

DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR NOTES

You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under "—Certain Definitions." In this description, the words "we," "us," "our," the issuer," and the "Company" refer only to AMC Entertainment Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries. References to the "notes" refer to the 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019.

The Company issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.75% senior notes due 2019 under an indenture dated June 9, 2009 (as amended and restated from time to time, the "Indenture"), between itself, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of those agreements, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. We urge you to read the Indenture and the registration rights agreement because those agreements, not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. You may request copies of the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement at our address as indicated under "Where You Can Find More Information About Us." Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under "Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees

The notes:

•
  are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company;
•
  rank senior in right of payment to any existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, including the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes;
•
  are equal in right of payment with any existing and future senior Indebtedness of the Company, without giving effect to collateral arrangements;
•
  are effectively subordinated to any secured Indebtedness of the Company, including Indebtedness under the Credit Facility, as to the assets securing such Indebtedness; and
•
  fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by each of the Guarantors;

The Guarantees:

•
  are general unsecured senior obligations of such Guarantor;
•
  rank senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantors, including their Guarantees of the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes;
•
  are equal in right of payment with any existing and future senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors, without giving effect to collateral arrangements; and
•
  are effectively subordinated to any secured Indebtedness of the Guarantors, including Guarantees of Indebtedness under the Credit Facility, as to the assets securing such Indebtedness.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The notes will mature on June 1, 2019. We initially issued $600.0 million of original notes and now, subject to compliance with the limitations described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness," we can issue an unlimited amount of additional notes in the future as part

119

Table of Contents

of the same series or as an additional series. Any additional notes that we issue in the future will be identical in all respects to the notes that we are issuing now, except that notes issued in the future will have different issuance prices and issuance dates. The Company will issue notes only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Interest on the notes will accrue at a rate of 8.75% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2009. We will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record at the close of business on or next preceding the interest payment date.

Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Any additional interest payable as a result of any such increase in interest rate is referred to as "Special Interest."

Ranking

The notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, including the Existing Subordinated Notes. The notes rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future liabilities of the Company that are not so subordinated and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured Indebtedness, including the Indebtedness under the Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets that secure such Indebtedness, and the liabilities of our non-guarantor Subsidiaries. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up of the Company or the Guarantors or upon a default in payment with respect to, or the acceleration of, any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other secured Indebtedness, the assets of the Company and the Guarantors that secure secured Indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees only after all Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and other secured Indebtedness has been repaid in full from such assets.

All of the Company's operations are conducted through its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company's ability to service its Indebtedness, including the notes, is dependent upon the earnings of its subsidiaries and their ability to distribute those earnings as dividends, loans or other payments to the Company. Certain laws restrict the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends and make loans and advances to the Company. If these restrictions apply to subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, then the Company would not be able to use the earnings of these subsidiaries to make payments on the notes. In addition, the Company only has a stockholder's claim on the assets of its subsidiaries. This stockholder's claim is junior to the claims that creditors and holders of Preferred Stock of the Company's subsidiaries have against those subsidiaries.

Not all of our subsidiaries will Guarantee the notes. The notes are Guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that Guarantees any of our other Indebtedness, including the Credit Facility. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor subsidiaries, the non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. The notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to existing and future liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately $18.7 million or 0.7% of our total revenues for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, approximately $134.5 million, or 3.2%, of our total assets and approximately $29.6 million, or 0.8%, of our total liabilities, as of December 30, 2010.

See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Notes—Our substantial debt could adversely affect our operations and your investment in the notes," and "—If our cash flows prove

120

Table of Contents

inadequate to service our debt and provide for our other obligations, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or future debt at terms unfavorable to us."

Subsidiary Guarantees

The Guarantors, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee on a senior unsecured basis the Company's obligations under the notes and all obligations under the Indenture. Such Guarantors agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee or the holders of notes in enforcing any rights under the Subsidiary Guarantees. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee rank equally in right of payment with other senior unsecured Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is expressly subordinate to the obligations arising under such Subsidiary Guarantees.

Although the Indenture limits the amount of Indebtedness that Subsidiaries may Incur, such Indebtedness may be substantial and a significant portion of it may be Indebtedness of Guarantors and may be secured.

The Indenture governing the notes provides that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

In the event a Guarantor is sold or disposed of (whether by merger, consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Guarantor is the surviving entity in such a transaction involving a Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, such Guarantor will be released from its obligations under the Indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a consequence of a release of the obligations of such Guarantor; and

(2) all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and related documentation and any other obligations of such Guarantor relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries terminate upon consummation of such transaction.

In addition, a Guarantor will be released from its obligations under the Indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement if (1) the conditions relating to legal defeasance are satisfied in accordance with the Indenture or (2) the Company designates such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation complies with the other provisions of the Indenture.

Sinking Fund

The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Optional Redemption

The notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to June 1, 2014 (except as provided below). Starting on that date, we may redeem all or any portion of the notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under the Indenture. The notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The following prices are for notes redeemed during the 12-month

121

2017 and thereafter |  |  | 100.000 | %

Prior to June 1, 2012, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price of 108.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that:

(1) at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after each such redemption; and

(2) the redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.

If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that notes will not be redeemed in an amount less than the minimum authorized denomination of $1,000. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness.

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with any Affiliate of the Company (other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1) such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be available at the time of such transaction or series of transactions in a comparable transaction in an arm's-length dealing with an unaffiliated third party;

(2) such transaction or series of transactions is in the best interests of the Company; and

(3) with respect to a transaction or series of transactions involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than $50.0 million, a majority of disinterested members of the Board of Directors determines that such transaction or series of transactions complies with clauses (1) and (2) above, as evidenced by a Board Resolution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company and its Subsidiaries may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

(1) any transaction pursuant to any contract in existence on the Issue Date;

(2) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to the provisions of "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" above;

(3) any transaction or series of transactions between the Company and one or more of its Subsidiaries or between two or more of its Subsidiaries (provided that no more than 5% of the equity interest in any such Subsidiary is owned, directly or indirectly (other than by direct or indirect ownership of an equity interest in the Company), by any Affiliate of the Company other than a Subsidiary);

(4) the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(5) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any agreements that are described in this prospectus under the headings "Management" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions" and any amendments thereto; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to such agreements shall only be permitted by this clause (5) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment, taken as a whole, are not more disadvantageous to the holders of the notes in any material respect than the terms of such agreements in effect on the Issue Date.

Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries of the Company), whether owned on the date of the Indenture or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under the Indenture and the notes or, in respect of Liens on any Guarantor's

125

Table of Contents

property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary, equally and ratably with (or prior to in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured.

Future Guarantors. After the Issue Date, the Company will cause each Subsidiary which guarantees obligations under the Credit Facility, the Existing Notes or any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Guarantor will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Special Interest, if any, on the notes on a senior unsecured basis. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Subsidiary without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee as it relates to such Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Guarantor is released and discharged in full from its obligations under its Guarantees of (1) the Credit Agreement and related documentation and (2) all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, then the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged.

SEC Reports

Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Commission and provide the Trustee and holders of notes with such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such information, documents and reports to be so filed and provided at the times specified for the filing of such information, documents and reports under such Sections; provided, however, that the Company shall not be so obligated to file such information, documents and reports with the Commission if the Commission does not permit such filings but shall still be obligated to provide such information, documents and reports to the Trustee and the holders of the notes.

Payments for Consent

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any holder of any notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the notes unless that consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or agreement.

Merger and Sale of Substantially All Assets

The Company will not, in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or sell, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or group of affiliated Persons unless at the time and after giving effect thereto:

(1) either:

(a) the Company will be the continuing corporation; or

(b) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety (the

126

Table of Contents

"Surviving Entity") will be a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall, in either case, expressly assume all the Obligations of the Company under the notes and the Indenture;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, except in the case of the consolidation or merger of any Subsidiary with or into the Company, the Company (or the Surviving Entity if the Company is not the continuing corporation) could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under the provisions of "Certain Covenants—Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness"; and

(4) each Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above, in which case clause (1)(b) shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to such Person's obligations in respect of the outstanding notes and the Indenture and its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement shall continue to be in effect.

In connection with any consolidation, merger, transfer or lease contemplated hereby, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, transfer or lease and the supplemental indenture in respect thereto comply with the provisions described herein and that all conditions precedent herein provided for or relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such a consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to, shall be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the notes and the Indenture, with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company therein. In the event of any transaction (other than a lease) described and listed in the immediately preceding paragraphs in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed or remaining shall succeed to, be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company, and the Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the notes and the Indenture.

Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to purchase all outstanding notes (as described in the Indenture) at a purchase price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send, by first class mail, a notice to each holder of notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The Change of Control Offer is required to remain open for at least 20 Business Days and until the close of business on the Change of Control Payment Date.

127

Table of Contents

The Change of Control provision of the notes may in certain circumstances make it more difficult or discourage a takeover of the Company and, as a result, may make removal of incumbent management more difficult. The Change of Control provision, however, is not the result of the Company's knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate the Company's stock or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise, or part of a plan by management to adopt a series of anti-takeover provisions. Instead, the Change of Control provision is a result of negotiations between the Company and the initial purchasers. The Company is not presently in discussions or negotiations with respect to any pending offers which, if accepted, would result in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that the Company would decide to do so in the future.

The Credit Agreement provides that certain change of control events with respect to the Company would constitute a default thereunder. The exercise by holders of notes of their right to require the Company to repurchase such notes could cause a default under existing or future debt of the Company, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Company. Finally, the Company's ability to pay cash to the holders of the notes in connection with a Change of Control may be limited to the Company's then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required purchases. The Company's failure to purchase notes in connection with a Change of Control would result in a default under the Indenture. Such a default would, in turn, constitute a default under existing debt of the Company, and may constitute a default under future debt as well. The Company's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes. See "—Modification and Waiver."

The provisions of the Indenture would not necessarily afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the Company that may adversely affect the holders.

If an offer is made to repurchase the notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, the Company will comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer.

(i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding; or

(ii) if such facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation);

"Senior Secured Leverage Ratio" of any Person means, for any period, the ratio of (a) Net Senior Secured Indebtedness of such Person and its Subsidiaries as of the date of determination to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of such Person for the four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred;

provided, however, that if the Company or any Subsidiary:

(a) has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Indebtedness at the end of such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period (except that in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility outstanding on the date of such calculation will be deemed to be:

(i) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding; or

(ii) if such facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation);

145

Table of Contents

(7) one or more final judgments or orders shall be rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary for the payment of money, either individually or in an aggregate amount, in excess of $5.0 million and shall not be discharged and either (a) an enforcement proceeding shall have been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order or (b) there shall have been a period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, was not in effect;

(8) the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; and

(9) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding may declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all notes due and payable.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all the notes shall become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of notes. After a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Company has paid or deposited, or caused to be paid or deposited, with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

(B) all overdue interest (including Special Interest) on all notes;

(C) the principal of and premium, if any, on any notes that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the notes; and

(D) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the notes; and

(2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of the notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the notes because an Event of Default specified in paragraph (5) above shall have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default (1) is Indebtedness in the form of an operating lease entered into by the Company or its Subsidiaries after May 21, 1998 and required to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet pursuant to EITF 97-10 or any subsequent pronouncement having similar effect, (2) has been discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, and (3) written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in

146

Table of Contents

respect of the notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30 day period which has not been cured or waived during such period.

The Indenture contains a provision entitling the Trustee, subject to the duty of the Trustee during the existence of an Event of Default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified by the holders of notes before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the Indenture at the request of such holders. The Indenture provides that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee.

During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee is required to exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

The Trust Indenture Act of 1939 contains limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it be a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or else resign.

The Company will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to any default by the Company in the performance and observance of its obligations under the Indenture.

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture

The Company may, at its option, and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company discharged with respect to all outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantee ("defeasance"). Such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding notes and to have satisfied its other obligations under the Indenture, except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged:

(1) the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest) on such notes when such payments are due;

(2) the Company's obligations with respect to the notes relating to the issuance of temporary notes, the registration, transfer and exchange of notes, the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes, the maintenance of an office or agency in The City of New York, the holding of money for security payments in trust and statements as to compliance with the Indenture;

(3) its obligations in connection with the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee; and

(4) the defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

In addition the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to certain restrictive covenants under the Indenture ("covenant defeasance") and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event covenant defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy and insolvency events) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to the notes.

In order to exercise either defeasance or covenant defeasance:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, certain U.S. government obligations, or a combination

147

Table of Contents

thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest (including Special Interest) on the outstanding notes on the Stated Maturity (or redemption date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any) or installment of interest;

(2) in the case of defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

(a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(b) since the date of this prospectus, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of covenant defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

(4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not cause the Trustee or the trust so created to be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

(5) the Company must comply with certain other conditions, including that such defeasance or covenant defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when:

(1) either:

(a) all such notes that have been authenticated, except notes that have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, whether at maturity or upon redemption or will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for

148

Table of Contents

principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture and the Securities; and

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes issued thereunder at maturity or at the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied at the Company's cost and expense.

Modification and Waiver

Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be entered into by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected thereby:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest (including Special Interest) on, any note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest (including Special Interest) thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which any note or any premium or the interest (including Special Interest) thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date);

(2) reduce the amount of, or change the coin or currency of, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of, the Change of Control Purchase Price;

(3) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding notes, the consent of whose holders is necessary to amend or waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or to waive certain defaults; or

(4) modify any of the provisions relating to supplemental indentures requiring the consent of holders of the notes, relating to the rights of holders to receive payment of principal and interest on the notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of such payment, on or after the respective due dates set forth in the notes, relating to the waiver of past defaults or relating to the waiver of certain covenants, except to increase the percentage of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is required for such actions or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each note affected thereby.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may waive compliance with certain restrictive covenants and provisions of the Indenture.

Without the consent of any holder of the notes, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture to: cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture; provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes (provided that the uncertificated

149

Table of Contents

notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); add Guarantees with respect to the notes; secure the notes; add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders of the notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company; make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the notes; or comply with any requirement of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

Book-Entry System

The notes will initially be issued in the form of Global Securities held in book-entry form. The notes will be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (the "Depository"), and the Depository or its nominee will initially be the sole registered holder of the notes for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as set forth below, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository.

Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depository or its nominee will credit, on its internal system, the accounts of persons holding through it with the respective principal amounts of the individual beneficial interest represented by such Global Security purchased by such persons in this exchange offer. Such accounts shall initially be designated by the initial purchasers with respect to notes placed by the initial purchasers for the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the Depository ("participants") or persons that may hold interests through participants. Any person acquiring an interest in a Global Security through an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act may hold such interest through Euroclear or Cedel. Ownership of beneficial interests by participants in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee for such Global Security. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Security by persons that hold through participants will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest within such participant will be effected only through, records maintained by such participant. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security.

Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on notes represented by any such Global Security will be made to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the Initial Purchasers will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the Depository's reports relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security representing any notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of the Depository's records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

The Company expects that upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Global Security, the Depository will immediately credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the accounts of participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal or face amount of such Global Security, as shown on the records of the Depository. The Company expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in "street name" and will be the sole responsibility of such participants.

150

Table of Contents

So long as the Depository or its nominee is the registered owner or holder of such Global Security, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Security for the purposes of receiving payment on the notes, receiving notices and for all other purposes under the Indenture and the notes. Beneficial interests in the notes will be evidenced only by, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository and its participants. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes in definitive form and will not be considered the holders of such Global Security for any purposes under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Security must rely on the procedures of the Depository and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Indenture. The Company understands that under existing industry practices, in the event that the Company requests any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, the Depository would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interest to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

The Company understands that the Depository will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account with the Depository interests in the Global Security are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction.

Although the Depository has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in Global Securities among participants of the Depository, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the initial purchasers will have any responsibility for the performance by the Depository or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

The Depository has advised the Company that the Depository is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act. The Depository was created to hold the securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. The Depository's participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own the Depository. Access to the Depository's book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.

Certificated Notes

Notes represented by a Global Security are exchangeable for certificated notes only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depository for such Global Security or if at any time the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a notice that such Global Security shall be so

151

Table of Contents

transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such transfer shall be registrable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes represented by such Global Security. Any Global Security that is exchangeable for certificated notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will be transferred to, and registered and exchanged for, certificated notes in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository or its nominee holding such Global Security may direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Security is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee. In the event that a Global Security becomes exchangeable for certificated notes, (i) certificated notes will be issued only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, (ii) payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the certificated notes will be payable, and the transfer of the certificated notes will be registrable; at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes and (iii) no service charge will be made for any issuance of the certificated notes, although the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. In addition, such certificates will bear the legend referred to under "Notice to Investors" (unless the Company determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law) subject, with respect to such notes, to the provisions of such legend.

Concerning the Trustee

U.S. Bank National Association is the Trustee under the Indenture.

Governing Law

The Indenture and the notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

DESCRIPTION OF 2014 NOTES

You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "Certain Definitions." In this description, the words "we," "us," "our," "the Issuer," "AMC Entertainment," "AMCE," or "Company" refer only to AMC Entertainment Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries. References to the "notes" refer to the 8% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, or the "2014 Notes."

The Company issued the notes in a private placement (the "Original Notes") under an indenture, dated as of February 24, 2004, among itself and HSBC Bank USA, National Association (the successor by merger to HSBC Bank USA), as trustee (the "Original Indenture"). The net proceeds from the initial sale of the Original Notes was used principally to redeem all of our 91/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 and a portion of our 91/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and to pay related fees and expenses. We subsequently issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series B Notes in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to a registered exchange offer. On December 23, 2004, Marquee Inc. merged with and into AMC Entertainment, with AMC Entertainment as the surviving corporation. The Original Indenture, as supplemented or amended from time to time, is referred to as the "Indenture."

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture and the registration rights agreement. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture and the registration rights agreement because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. Copies of the Indenture and the registration rights agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part (SEC File No. 333-133940), and you can obtain a copy as indicated under "Where You Can Find More Information About Us." Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under "Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the Indenture.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The notes will mature on March 1, 2014. We initially issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes. We issued notes only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Interest on the notes accrues at a rate of 8% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1. We will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record at the close of business on February 15 or August 15 next preceding the interest payment date.

Interest on the notes accrues from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Ranking

The notes are:

•
  senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company;
•
  junior in ranking in right of payment with our existing and future Senior Indebtedness;
•
  equal in ranking ("pari passu") in right of payment with our existing and future senior subordinated Indebtedness; and

153

Table of Contents

•
  effectively subordinated to any secured Indebtedness of the Company, including the Credit Facility, as to the assets securing such Indebtedness.

In addition, all of the Company's operations are conducted through its Subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company's ability to service its Indebtedness, including the notes, is dependent upon the earnings of its Subsidiaries and their ability to distribute those earnings as dividends, loans or other payments to the Company. Certain laws restrict the ability of the Company's Subsidiaries to pay dividends and make loans and advances to the Company. If these restrictions apply to Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, then the Company would not be able to use the earnings of these Subsidiaries to make payments on the notes. In addition, the Company only has a stockholder's claim on the assets of its Subsidiaries. This stockholder's claim is junior to the claims that creditors and holders of Preferred Stock of the Company's Subsidiaries have against those Subsidiaries.

As of December 30, 2010, as adjusted to give effect to the 2020 Notes offering and the use of proceeds thereof, the total outstanding Senior Indebtedness and Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, including the notes, of the Company and the Guarantors on a consolidated basis, excluding unused commitments made by lenders, was as follows:

•
  $1,272.9 million approximate outstanding Senior Indebtedness of the Company Guaranteed by the Guarantors (and the Company had commitments of $192.5 million under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which would constitute Senior Indebtedness of the Company Guaranteed by the Guarantors); and
•
  $899.4 million approximate outstanding Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company Guaranteed by the Guarantors.

Not all of our Subsidiaries Guarantee the notes. The notes are guaranteed by each of our Subsidiaries that guarantees our other Indebtedness. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. The notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to existing and future liabilities of our non-guarantor Subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries that are not guarantors would have accounted for approximately $18.7 million, or 0.7%, of our total revenues for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, approximately $134.5 million, or 3.2%, of our total assets and approximately $29.6 million, or 0.8%, of our total liabilities as of December 30, 2010.

Subordination

The payment of all Obligations in respect of the notes are subordinated, as set forth in the Indenture, in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

In the event of any:

•
  insolvency of or bankruptcy case or proceeding relating to the Company;
•
  any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relating to the Company or to its assets;
•
  any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary; or
•
  any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Company;

the holders of Senior Indebtedness will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment in full in cash or

154

Table of Contents

Cash Equivalents to the satisfaction of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character from any source (other than any payment or distribution in the form of equity securities or subordinated securities of the Company or any successor obligor provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment that, in the case of any such subordinated securities, are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding to at least the same extent as the notes are so subordinated as provided in the Indenture) (such equity securities or subordinated securities hereinafter being "Permitted Junior Securities") on account of all Obligations in respect of the notes or on account of the purchase, deposit for defeasance or redemption or other acquisition of notes.

No payment (other than any payments made pursuant to the provisions described under "—Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture" from monies or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee) or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities), may be made by the Company on account of any Obligation in respect of the notes or on account of the purchase, redemption, deposit for defeasance or other acquisition of notes upon the occurrence of any default in payment (whether at stated maturity, upon scheduled installment, by acceleration or otherwise) of principal of, premium, if any, or interest in respect of any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace periods (a "Payment Default") until such Payment Default shall have been cured or waived or have ceased to exist or such Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents.

No payment (other than any payments made pursuant to the provisions described under "—Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture" from monies or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee) or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities), may be made by the Company on account of any Obligation in respect of the notes or on account of the purchase, redemption, deposit for defeasance or other acquisition of notes for the period specified below ("Payment Blockage Period") upon the occurrence of any default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness not covered by the immediately preceding paragraph pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated (a "Non-payment Default") and receipt by the Trustee of written notice thereof from the representatives of the holders of any Designated Senior Indebtedness.

The Payment Blockage Period will commence upon the date of receipt by the Trustee of written notice from such representative and shall end on the earliest of:

(1) 179 days thereafter (provided any Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which notice was given shall not theretofore have been accelerated, in which case the provisions of the second preceding paragraph shall apply);

(2) the date on which such Non-payment Default is cured, waived or ceases to exist;

(3) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents; or

(4) such Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written notice to the Trustee from the representative initiating such Payment Blockage Period;

after which the Company will resume making any and all required payments in respect of the notes, including any missed payments. In any event, not more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced during any period of 365 consecutive days. No event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period will be, or can be, made the basis for the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

155

Table of Contents

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or any holder of the notes shall have received any payment prohibited by the foregoing, then such payment shall be paid over to the representatives of such Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating the Payment Blockage Period, to be held in trust for distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or, to the extent amounts are not then due in respect of Senior Indebtedness, prompt return to the Company, or otherwise as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

Failure by the Company to make any required payment in respect of the notes when due or within any applicable grace period, whether or not occurring during a Payment Blockage Period, will result in an Event of Default and, thereafter, holders will have the right to require repayment of the notes in full. See "—Events of Default."

By reason of such subordination, in the event of liquidation, receivership, reorganization or insolvency of the Company, creditors of the Company who are holders of Senior Indebtedness may recover more, ratably, than the holders of the notes, and assets which would otherwise be available to pay obligations in respect of the notes will be available only after all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, and there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the notes.

"Senior Indebtedness" means:

(1) all Obligations of the Company, now or hereafter existing, under or in respect of the Credit Facility; and

(2) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all other Indebtedness of the Company (other than the notes and the 91/2% Notes due 2009), whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred or assumed, unless, in the case of any particular Indebtedness, the instrument creating or evidencing the same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding expressly provides that such Indebtedness shall not be senior in right of payment to the notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Senior Indebtedness" shall not include:

(1) Indebtedness evidenced by the notes;

(2) Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the notes or the Indebtedness evidenced by the 91/2% Notes due 2009;

(3) Indebtedness of the Company that by operation of law is subordinate to any general unsecured obligations of the Company;

(4) Indebtedness of the Company to the extent incurred in violation of any covenant of the Indenture;

(5) any liability for federal, state or local taxes or other taxes, owed or owing by the Company;

(6) trade account payables owed or owing by the Company;

(7) amounts owed by the Company for compensation to employees or for services rendered to the Company;

(8) Indebtedness of the Company to any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of the Company; and

156

Table of Contents

(9) Indebtedness which when incurred and without respect to any election under Section 1111(b) of Title 11 of the United States Code is without recourse to the Company or any Subsidiary.

"Designated Senior Indebtedness" means:

(1) all Senior Indebtedness under the Credit Facility; and

(2) any other Senior Indebtedness:

(a) which at the time of determination exceeds $30 million in aggregate principal amount;

(b) which is specifically designated in the instrument evidencing such Senior Indebtedness as "Designated Senior Indebtedness" by the Company; and

(c) as to which the Trustee has been given written notice of such designation.

Subsidiary Guarantees

The Guarantors, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee on a senior subordinated basis the Company's obligations under the notes and all obligations under the Indenture. Such Guarantors agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee or the holders of notes in enforcing any rights under the Subsidiary Guarantees. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee rank equally in right of payment with other senior unsecured Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is expressly subordinate to the obligations arising under such Subsidiary Guarantee.

Although the Indenture limits the amount of Indebtedness that Subsidiaries may Incur, such Indebtedness may be substantial and all of it may be Indebtedness of Guarantors.

The Indenture governing the notes provides that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

In the event a Guarantor is sold or disposed of (whether by merger, consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Guarantor is the surviving corporation in such a transaction involving a Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, such Guarantor will be released from its obligations under the Indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred or will be continuing or would occur as a consequence of a release of the obligations of such Guarantor;

(2) all the obligations of such Guarantor under any Credit Facility and related documentation and any other obligations of such Guarantor relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries terminate upon consummation of such transaction; and

(3) the notes are legally defeased, satisfaction of the conditions relating to legal defeasance in accordance with the Indenture.

In addition, a Guarantor will be released from its obligations under the Indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement if (1) the Guarantor is released from all the obligations of such Guarantor under any Credit Facility and related documentation and any other obligations of such Guarantor relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (2) the Company designates such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation complies with the other provisions of the Indenture.

Sinking Fund

The notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Optional Redemption

The notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company prior to March 1, 2009. Starting on that date, we may redeem all or any portion of the notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under the Indenture. The notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The following prices are for notes redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on March 1 of the years set forth below, and are expressed as percentages of principal amount.

Year |  | Redemption Price |
--- | --- | --- | ---
2009 |  |  | 104.000 | %
2010 |  |  | 102.667 | %
2011 |  |  | 101.333 | %
2012 and thereafter |  |  | 100.000 | %

If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that Notes will not be redeemed in amount less than the minimum authorized denomination of $1,000. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness (excluding Permitted Indebtedness) unless after giving effect to such event on a pro forma basis, the Company's Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such event, taken as one period calculated on the assumption that such Indebtedness had been incurred on the first day of such four quarter period, is greater than or equal to 2.0:1.

Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company shall not directly or indirectly:

(1) declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution in respect of, any shares of the Company's or any Subsidiary's Capital Stock (excluding dividends or distributions payable in shares of its Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock, but including dividends or distributions payable in Redeemable Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase Redeemable Capital Stock (other than dividends on such Redeemable Capital Stock payable in shares of such Redeemable Capital Stock)) held by any Person other than the Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries; or

(2) purchase, redeem or acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Company or any Affiliate thereof (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company) or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock;

(such payments or any other actions described in (1) and (2) above are collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments") unless at the time of and after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment

158

Table of Contents

(the amount of any such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution):

(a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(b) the Company could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under the provisions of "Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness;" and

(c) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments declared or made after January 27, 1999 (including the proposed Restricted Payment) does not exceed the sum of:

(i) (x) Consolidated EBITDA for the Restricted Payments Computation Period, minus (y) 2.0 times Consolidated Interest Expense for the Restricted Payments Computation Period (which commenced on January 27, 1999);

(ii) the aggregate net proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, except that for any property whose Fair Market Value exceeds $10.0 million such Fair Market Value shall be confirmed by an independent appraisal obtained by the Company), received after January 27, 1999 by the Company from the issuance or sale (other than to any of its Subsidiaries) of shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) or warrants, options or rights to purchase such shares of Capital Stock;

(iii) the aggregate net proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, except that for any property whose Fair Market Value exceeds $10.0 million such Fair Market Value shall be confirmed by an independent appraisal obtained by the Company), received after January 27, 1999 by the Company from debt securities that have been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) to the extent such debt securities were originally sold for such net proceeds plus the aggregate cash received by the Company at the time of such conversion; and

(iv) $100.0 million.

As of July 1, 2010, taking into account the calculation required under clause (c) above, the Company could have made Restricted Payments of $361.1 million, subject to the other limitations set forth in the "Limitation on Restricted Payments" covenant and limitations in the Company's other debt instruments and under applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company may:

(1) pay dividends on its Capital Stock within sixty days of the declaration thereof if, on the declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with the foregoing limitation; or

(2) acquire, redeem or retire Capital Stock in exchange for, or in connection with a substantially concurrent issuance of, Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock).

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or

159

Table of Contents

services) with any Affiliate of the Company (other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1) such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be available at the time of such transaction or series of transactions in a comparable transaction in an arm's-length dealing with an unaffiliated third party;

(2) such transaction or series of transactions is in the best interests of the Company; and

(3) with respect to a transaction or series of transactions involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than $50.0 million, a majority of disinterested members of the Board of Directors determines that such transaction or series of transactions complies with clauses (1) and (2) above, as evidenced by a Board Resolution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company and its Subsidiaries may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

(1) any transaction pursuant to any contract in existence on the Closing Date;

(2) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to the provisions of "Limitation on Restricted Payments" above;

(3) any transaction or series of transactions between the Company and one or more of its Subsidiaries or between two or more of its Subsidiaries (provided that no more than 5% of the equity interest in any such Subsidiary is owned, directly or indirectly (other than by direct or indirect ownership of an equity interest in the Company), by any Affiliate of the Company other than a Subsidiary); and

(4) the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Limitation on Senior Subordinated Indebtedness. The Company will not Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness and senior in right of payment to the notes.

Merger and Sale of Substantially All Assets

The Company shall not, in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or sell, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or group of affiliated Persons unless at the time and after giving effect thereto:

(1) either:

(a) the Company shall be the continuing corporation; or

(b) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety (the "Surviving Entity") shall be a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall, in either case, expressly assume all the Obligations of the Company under the notes and the Indenture;

160

Table of Contents

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, except in the case of the consolidation or merger of any Subsidiary with or into the Company, the Company (or the Surviving Entity if the Company is not the continuing corporation) could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under the provisions of "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness."

In connection with any consolidation, merger, transfer or lease contemplated hereby, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, transfer or lease and the supplemental indenture in respect thereto comply with the provisions described herein and that all conditions precedent herein provided for or relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such a consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to, shall be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the notes and the Indenture, with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company therein. In the event of any transaction (other than a lease) described and listed in the immediately preceding paragraphs in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed or remaining shall succeed to, be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company, and the Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the notes and the Indenture.

Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to purchase all outstanding notes (as described in the Indenture) at a purchase price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send, by first class mail, a notice to each holder of notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The Change of Control Offer is required to remain open for at least 20 Business Days and until the close of business on the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Change of Control provision of the notes may in certain circumstances make it more difficult or discourage a takeover of the Company and, as a result, may make removal of incumbent management more difficult. The Change of Control provision, however, is not the result of the Company's knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate the Company's stock or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise, or part of a plan by management to adopt a series of anti-takeover provisions. Instead, the Change of Control provision is a result of negotiations between the Company and the initial purchasers of the Original Notes. The Company is not presently in discussions or negotiations with respect to any pending offers which, if accepted, would result in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that the Company would decide to do so in the future.

161

Table of Contents

The Credit Facility provides that certain change of control events with respect to the Company would constitute a default thereunder. In such circumstances, the subordination provisions in the Indenture could restrict payments to the holders of the notes. Moreover, the exercise by holders of notes of their right to require the Company to repurchase such notes could cause a default under existing or future debt of the Company, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Company. Finally, the Company's ability to pay cash to the holders of the notes in connection with a Change of Control may be limited to the Company's then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required purchases. The Company's failure to purchase notes in connection with a Change of Control would result in a default under the Indenture. Such a default would, in turn, constitute a default under existing debt of the Company, and may constitute a default under future debt as well. See "Risk Factors—We must offer to repurchase the notes upon a change of control, which could result in an event of default under our senior secured credit facility or under the indentures governing the notes." The Company's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes. See "—Modification and Waiver."

The provisions of the Indenture would not necessarily afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the Company that may adversely affect the holders.

If an offer is made to repurchase the notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, the Company will comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer.

Certain Definitions

Set forth below are certain defined terms used in the Indentures. Reference is made to the Indentures for the definition of any other capitalized term used in this section for which no definition is provided.

For the purposes of this definition, "control" when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the notes then outstanding may declare the principal of all notes due and payable; provided, however, that so long as the Credit Facility shall be in full force and effect, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8)), any such acceleration shall not become effective until the earlier of:

If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal of all the notes shall become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of notes. After a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgement or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Company has paid or deposited, or caused to be paid or deposited, with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

173

Table of Contents

The Indenture contains a provision entitling the Trustee, subject to the duty of the Trustee during the existence of an Event of Default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified by the holders of notes before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the Indenture at the request of such holders. The Indenture provides that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then Outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee.

During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee is required to exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

The Trust Indenture Act of 1939 contains limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it be a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or else resign.

The Company will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to any default by the Company in the performance and observance of its obligations under the Indenture.

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture

The Company may, at its option, and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company discharged with respect to all outstanding notes ("defeasance"). Such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding notes and to have satisfied its other obligations under the Indenture, except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged:

(1) the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest) on such notes when such payments are due;

(2) the Company's obligations with respect to the notes relating to the issuance of temporary notes, the registration, transfer and exchange of notes, the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes, the maintenance of an office or agency in The City of New York, the holding of money for security payments in trust and statements as to compliance with the Indenture;

(3) its obligations in connection with the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee; and

(4) the defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

In addition the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to be released from its obligations with respect to certain of its restrictive covenants under the Indenture ("covenant defeasance") and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event covenant defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy and insolvency events) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to the notes.

In order to exercise either defeasance or covenant defeasance:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, certain U.S. government obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest (including Special Interest) on the outstanding notes on the Stated Maturity (or redemption date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any) or installment of interest;

(2) in the case of defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

(a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(b) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of covenant defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

(4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not cause the Trustee or the trust so created to be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

(5) the Company must comply with certain other conditions, including that such defeasance or covenant defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

Modification and Waiver

Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be entered into by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected thereby:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest (including Special Interest) on, any note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest (including Special Interest) thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which any note or any premium or the interest (including Special Interest) thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date);

(2) reduce the amount of, or change the coin or currency of, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of, the Change of Control Purchase Price;

175

Table of Contents

(3) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding notes, the consent of whose holders is necessary to amend or waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or to waive certain defaults;

(4) modify any of the provisions relating to supplemental indentures requiring the consent of holders of the notes, relating to the rights of holders to receive payment of principal and interest on the notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of such payment, on or after the respective due dates set forth in the notes, relating to the waiver of past defaults or relating to the waiver of certain covenants, except to increase the percentage of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is required for such actions or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each note affected thereby; or

(5) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture relating to the subordination of the notes in a manner adverse to any holder of notes.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may waive compliance with certain restrictive covenants and provisions of the Indenture.

Without the consent of any holder of the notes, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture to: cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture; provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes (provided that the uncertificated notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); add Guarantees with respect to the notes; secure the notes; add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders of the notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company; make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the notes; make any change to the subordination provisions of the Indenture that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Indebtedness under such provisions; or comply with any requirement of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

Book-Entry System

The notes were initially issued in the form of Global Securities held in book-entry form. The notes were deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (the "Depository"), and the Depository or its nominee will initially be the sole registered holder of the notes for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as set forth below, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository. References to the "initial purchasers" below are to the initial purchasers of the Original Notes.

Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depository or its nominee will credit, on its internal system, the accounts of persons holding through it with the respective principal amounts of the individual beneficial interest represented by such Global Security purchased by such persons in this offering. Such accounts shall initially be designated by the initial purchasers with respect to notes placed by the initial purchasers for the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the Depository ("participants") or persons that may hold interests through participants. Any person acquiring an interest in a Global Security through an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act may hold such interest through Euroclear or Cedel. Ownership of beneficial interests by participants in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee for such Global Security. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Security by persons that hold through participants will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest within such participant will be effected only through, records maintained by such participant.

176

Table of Contents

The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security.

Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on notes represented by any such Global Security will be made to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the initial purchasers will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the Depository's reports relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security representing any notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of the Depository's records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

The Company expects that upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Global Security, the Depository will immediately credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the accounts of participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal or face amount of such Global Security, as shown on the records of the Depository. The Company expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in "street name" and will be the sole responsibility of such participants.

So long as the Depository or its nominee is the registered owner or holder of such Global Security, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Security for the purposes of receiving payment on the notes, receiving notices and for all other purposes under the Indenture and the notes. Beneficial interests in the notes will be evidenced only by, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository and its participants. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes in definitive form and will not be considered the holders of such Global Security for any purposes under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Security must rely on the procedures of the Depository and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Indenture. The Company understands that under existing industry practices, in the event that the Company requests any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, the Depository would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interest to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

The Company understands that the Depository will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account with the Depository interests in the Global Security are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction.

Although the Depository has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in Global Securities among participants of the Depository, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the initial purchasers will have any responsibility for the performance by the Depository or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

177

Table of Contents

The Depository has advised the Company that the Depository is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act. The Depository was created to hold the securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. The Depository's participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own the Depository. Access to the Depository's book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.

Certificated Notes

Notes represented by a Global Security are exchangeable for certificated notes only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depository for such Global Security or if at any time the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a notice that such Global Security shall be so transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such transfer shall be registrable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes represented by such Global Security. Any Global Security that is exchangeable for certificated notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will be transferred to, and registered and exchanged for, certificated notes in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository or its nominee holding such Global Security may direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Security is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee. In the event that a Global Security becomes exchangeable for certificated notes, (i) certificated notes will be issued only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, (ii) payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the certificated notes will be payable, and the transfer of the certificated notes will be registrable, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes and (iii) no service charge will be made for any issuance of the certificated notes, although the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. In addition, such certificates will bear the legend referred to under "Notice to Investors" (unless the Company determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law) subject, with respect to such notes, to the provisions of such legend.

General

You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under "—Certain Definitions." In this description, the words "we," "us," "our," the issuer," and the "Company" refer only to AMC Entertainment Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.

The Company issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 under an indenture dated December 15, 2010 (as amended and restated from time to time, the "Indenture"), between itself, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

The Issuer will issue the exchange notes under the Indenture. The terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects to the original notes except that upon completion of the exchange offer, the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act and free of any covenants regarding exchange registration rights. References to the "notes" refer to both the original notes and exchange notes.

The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of those agreements, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. We urge you to read the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement because those agreements, not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees

The notes:

•
  are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company;
•
  are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior subordinated basis by each of the Guarantors;
•
  are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company, including Indebtedness under the Credit Facility and the Existing Senior Notes; and
•
  are pari passu in right of payment with any future Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, including the Existing Senior Subordinated Notes.

The Guarantees:

•
  are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of each Guarantor;
•
  are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of each Guarantor; and
•
  are pari passu in right of payment with any future Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of each Guarantor.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The notes will mature on December 1, 2020. We initially issued up to $600.0 million of original notes now and, subject to compliance with the limitations described under "—Certain Covenants—

179

Table of Contents

Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness", we can issue an unlimited amount of additional notes in the future as part of the same series or as an additional series. Any additional notes that we issue in the future will be identical in all respects to the notes that we are issuing now, except that notes issued in the future will have different issuance prices and issuance dates. The Company will issue notes only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Interest on the notes will accrue at a rate of 9.75% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on June 1, 2011. We will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record at the close of business on May 15 or November 15 next preceding the interest payment date.

Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Any additional interest payable as a result of any such increase in interest rate is referred to as "Special Interest."

Subordination

The payment of all Obligations in respect of the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will be subordinated, as set forth in the Indenture, in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable.

In the event of any:

•
  insolvency of or bankruptcy case or proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor;
•
  any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relating to the Company, any Guarantor or to their respective assets;
•
  any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Company or any Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary; or
•
  any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Company or any Guarantor;

the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents to the satisfaction of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character from any source (other than any payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) on account of all Obligations in respect of the notes or on account of the purchase, deposit for defeasance or redemption or other acquisition of notes.

As of December 30, 2010, as adjusted to give effect to the original notes offering and the use of proceeds thereof, the total outstanding Senior Indebtedness and Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, including the notes, of the Company and the Guarantors on a consolidated basis, excluding unused commitments made by lenders, was as follows:

•
  $1,272.9 million approximate outstanding Senior Indebtedness of the Company Guaranteed by the Guarantors (and the Company had commitments of $192.5 million under the Credit Agreement, which would constitute Senior Indebtedness of the Company Guaranteed by the Guarantors); and
•
  $899.4 million approximate outstanding Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company Guaranteed by the Guarantors.

Ranking

The notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantees are unsecured obligations of the Guarantors. Secured Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors will be effectively senior to the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, respectively, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. As of December 30, 2010, the Company had $685.9 million of Secured Indebtedness, consisting of borrowings under the Credit Agreement and capital and financing lease obligations. In addition, as of December 30, 2010, the Company's non-guarantor Subsidiaries had $29.6 million of total Indebtedness (including trade payables), all of which was structurally senior to the notes.

No payment (other than any payments made pursuant to the provisions described under "—Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture" from monies or Government Securities previously deposited with the Trustee) or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities), may be made by the Company on account of any Obligation in respect of the notes or on account of the purchase, redemption, deposit for defeasance or other acquisition of notes upon the occurrence of any default in payment (whether at stated maturity, upon scheduled installment, by acceleration or otherwise) of principal of, premium, if any, or interest in respect of any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace periods (a "Payment Default") until such Payment Default shall have been cured or waived or have ceased to exist or such Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents.

No payment (other than any payments made pursuant to the provisions described under "—Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture" from monies or Government Securities previously deposited with the Trustee) or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities), may be made by the Company on account of any Obligation in respect of the notes or on account of the purchase, redemption, deposit for defeasance or other acquisition of notes for the period specified below ("Payment Blockage Period") upon the occurrence of any default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness not covered by the immediately preceding paragraph pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated (a "Non-payment Default") and receipt by the Trustee of written notice thereof from the representatives of the holders of any Designated Senior Indebtedness.

The Payment Blockage Period will commence upon the date of receipt by the Trustee of written notice from such representative and shall end on the earliest of:

(1) 179 days thereafter (provided any Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which notice was given shall not theretofore have been accelerated, in which case the provisions of the second preceding paragraph shall apply);

(2) the date on which such Non-payment Default is cured, waived or ceases to exist;

(3) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents; or

(4) such Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written notice to the Trustee from the representative initiating such Payment Blockage Period;

after which the Company will resume making any and all required payments in respect of the notes, including any missed payments. In any event, not more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced during any period of 365 consecutive days. No event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period will be, or can be, made

181

Table of Contents

the basis for the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or any holder of the notes shall have received any payment prohibited by the foregoing, then such payment shall be paid over to the representatives of such Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating the Payment Blockage Period, to be held in trust for distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or, to the extent amounts are not then due in respect of Senior Indebtedness, prompt return to the Company, or otherwise as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

Failure by the Company to make any required payment in respect of the notes when due or within any applicable grace period, whether or not occurring during a Payment Blockage Period, will result in an Event of Default and, thereafter, holders will have the right to require repayment of the notes in full. See "—Events of Default."

By reason of such subordination, in the event of liquidation, receivership, reorganization or insolvency of the Company, creditors of the Company who are holders of Senior Indebtedness may recover more, ratably, than the holders of the notes, and assets which would otherwise be available to pay obligations in respect of the notes will be available only after all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, and there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the notes.

The Subsidiary Guarantee of each of the Guarantors will be subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to the same extent and in the same manner as the notes are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Payments under the Subsidiary Guarantee of each Guarantor will be subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and all other Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including Senior Indebtedness incurred after the date of the Indenture, on the same basis as provided above with respect to the subordination of payments on the notes by the Company to the prior payment in full of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

All of the Company's operations are conducted through its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company's ability to service its Indebtedness, including the notes, is dependent upon the earnings of its subsidiaries and their ability to distribute those earnings as dividends, loans or other payments to the Company. Certain laws restrict the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends and make loans and advances to the Company. If these restrictions apply to subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, then the Company would not be able to use the earnings of these subsidiaries to make payments on the notes. In addition, the Company only has a stockholder's claim on the assets of its subsidiaries. This stockholder's claim is junior to the claims that creditors and holders of Preferred Stock of the Company's subsidiaries have against those subsidiaries.

Not all of our subsidiaries will Guarantee the notes. The notes are Guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that Guarantees any of our other Indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor subsidiaries, the non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. The notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to existing and future liabilities of our non-guarantors subsidiaries. For the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2010, our subsidiaries that are not guarantors would have accounted for approximately $18.7 million, or 0.7%, of our total revenues and as of December 30, 2010, approximately $134.5 million, or 3.2%, of our total assets and approximately $29.6 million, or 0.8%, of our total liabilities.

See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and The Notes—Our substantial debt could adversely affect our operations and your investment in the notes", and "—If our cash flows prove inadequate to service our debt and provide for our other obligations, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or future debt at terms unfavorable to us."

Table of Contents

Subsidiary Guarantees

The Guarantors, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee on a senior subordinated unsecured basis the Company's obligations under the notes and all obligations under the Indenture. The Guarantors agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee or the holders of notes in enforcing any rights under the Subsidiary Guarantees. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee rank junior in right of payment with all Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and equally in right of payment with other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

Although the Indenture limits the amount of Indebtedness that Subsidiaries may Incur, such Indebtedness may be substantial and a significant portion of it may be Indebtedness of Guarantors and/or may be Senior Indebtedness and/or may be secured.

The Indenture governing the notes provides that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

In the event a Guarantor is sold or disposed of (whether by merger, consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by lease)) and whether or not the Guarantor is the surviving entity in such a transaction involving a Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, such Guarantor will be released from its obligations under the Indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a consequence of a release of the obligations of such Guarantor; and

(2) all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and related documentation and any other obligations of such Guarantor relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries terminate upon consummation of such transaction.

In addition, a Guarantor will be released from its obligations under the Indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement if (1) the conditions relating to legal defeasance are satisfied in accordance with the Indenture or (2) the Company designates such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation complies with the other provisions of the Indenture.

Sinking Fund

The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Optional Redemption

The notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to December 1, 2015 (except as provided below). Starting on that date, we may redeem all or any portion of the notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under the Indenture. The notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The following prices are for notes redeemed during the 12-month

period commencing on December 1 of the years set forth below, and are expressed as percentages of principal amount.

Year |  | Redemption Price |
--- | --- | --- | ---
2015 |  |  | 104.875 | %
2016 |  |  | 103.250 | %
2017 |  |  | 101.625 | %
2018 and thereafter |  |  | 100.000 | %

Prior to December 1, 2013, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price of 109.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that:

(1) at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after each such redemption; and

(2) the redemption occurs within 90 days after the closing of such Equity Offering.

If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that notes will not be redeemed in an amount less than the minimum authorized denomination of $1,000. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness unless after giving effect to such event on a pro forma basis, the Company's Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such event for which internal financial statements are available, taken as one period, is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 (such condition not being applicable to the Incurrence of Permitted Indebtedness).

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the ratio set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company is entitled to Incur such Indebtedness in part under any combination thereof, and the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Company, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the definition of "Indebtedness" will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness

for purposes of this covenant. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this covenant.

Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(1) declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution in respect of, any shares of the Company's or any Subsidiary's Capital Stock (excluding dividends or distributions payable in shares of the Company's Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock, but including dividends or distributions payable in Redeemable Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase Redeemable Capital Stock (other than dividends on such Redeemable Capital Stock payable in shares of such Redeemable Capital Stock)) held by any Person other than the Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries; or

(2) purchase, redeem or acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Company or any Affiliate thereof (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company) or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock;

(i) (x) Consolidated EBITDA for the Restricted Payments Computation Period, minus (y) 1.70 times Consolidated Interest Expense for the Restricted Payments Computation Period (which commenced on April 2, 2009); plus

(ii) the aggregate net proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, except that for any property whose Fair Market Value exceeds $10.0 million such Fair Market Value shall be confirmed by an independent appraisal obtained by the Company), received after the Issue Date by the Company from the issuance or sale (other than to any of its Subsidiaries) of shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) or warrants, options or rights to purchase such shares of Capital Stock; plus

(iii) the aggregate net proceeds, including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, except that for any property whose Fair Market Value exceeds $10.0 million such Fair Market Value shall be confirmed by an independent appraisal obtained by the Company), received after the Issue Date by the Company from debt securities that have been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) to the extent such debt securities were originally sold for such net proceeds plus the aggregate cash received by the Company at the time of such conversion.

185

Table of Contents

As of December 30, 2010, as adjusted to give effect to the original notes offering and the use of proceeds thereof, the Company would have been able to make approximately $325.8 million of restricted payments under the foregoing clause (c) and clause (6) below; provided that the Company's ability to make restricted payments may be further restricted by the other limitations set forth in this covenant, by the covenants governing the Company's other Indebtedness or by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may:

(1) pay dividends on its Capital Stock within sixty days of the declaration thereof if, on the declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with the foregoing limitation;

(2) acquire, redeem or retire Capital Stock in exchange for, or in connection with a substantially concurrent issuance of, Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock);

(3) in the case of a Subsidiary, pay dividends (or in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) to the holders of its Capital Stock on a pro rata basis;

(5) the payment of dividends on the Company's common stock (or a Restricted Payment to any direct or indirect parent of the Company to fund the payment by such direct or indirect parent of the Company of dividends on such entity's common stock) of up to 6% per annum of the net proceeds received by the Company from any public offering of common stock of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company, other than public offerings with respect to the Company's (or such direct or indirect parent's) common stock registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8; and

(6) make other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $350.0 million.

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with any Affiliate of the Company (other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1) such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be available at the time of such transaction or series of transactions in a comparable transaction in an arm's-length dealing with an unaffiliated third party;

(2) such transaction or series of transactions is in the best interests of the Company; and

(3) with respect to a transaction or series of transactions involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than $50.0 million, a majority of disinterested members of the Board of Directors determines that such transaction or series of transactions complies with clauses (1) and (2) above, as evidenced by a Board Resolution.

186

Table of Contents

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Company and its Subsidiaries may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

(1) any transaction pursuant to any contract in existence on the Issue Date;

(2) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to the provisions of "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" above;

(3) any transaction or series of transactions between the Company and one or more of its Subsidiaries or between two or more of its Subsidiaries (provided that no more than 5% of the equity interest in any such Subsidiary is owned, directly or indirectly (other than by direct or indirect ownership of an equity interest in the Company), by any Affiliate of the Company other than a Subsidiary);

(4) the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(5) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any agreements that are described in this prospectus under the headings "Management" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions" and any amendments thereto; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to such agreements shall only be permitted by this clause (5) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment, taken as a whole, are not more disadvantageous to the holders of the notes in any material respect than the terms of such agreements in effect on the Issue Date.

Limitation on Senior Subordinated Indebtedness. The Company will not Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness and senior in right of payment to the notes. No Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and senior in right of payment to such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee.

Future Guarantors. After the Issue Date, the Company will cause each Subsidiary which guarantees obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Existing Notes or any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Guarantor will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Special Interest, if any, on the notes on a senior subordinated basis. Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Subsidiary without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee as it relates to such Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Guarantor is released and discharged in full from its obligations under its Guarantees of (1) the Credit Agreement and related documentation and (2) all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, then the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged.

SEC Reports

Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Commission and provide the Trustee and holders of notes with such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such information, documents and reports to be so filed and provided at the times specified for the filing of such information, documents and reports under such Sections; provided,

187

Table of Contents

however, that the Company shall not be so obligated to file such information, documents and reports with the Commission if the Commission does not permit such filings but shall still be obligated to provide such information, documents and reports to the Trustee and the holders of the notes.

Payments for Consent

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any holder of any notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the notes unless that consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or agreement.

Merger and Sale of Substantially All Assets

The Company will not, in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or sell, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or group of affiliated Persons unless at the time and after giving effect thereto:

(1) either:

(a) the Company will be the continuing corporation; or

(b) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety (the "Surviving Entity") will be a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall, in either case, expressly assume all the Obligations of the Company under the notes and the Indenture;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, except in the case of the consolidation or merger of any Subsidiary with or into the Company, the Company (or the Surviving Entity if the Company is not the continuing corporation) could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under the provisions of "Certain Covenants—Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness"; and

(4) each Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above, in which case clause (1)(b) shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to such Person's obligations in respect of the outstanding notes and the Indenture and its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement shall continue to be in effect.

In connection with any consolidation, merger, transfer or lease contemplated hereby, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, transfer or lease and the supplemental indenture in respect thereto comply with the provisions described herein and that all conditions precedent herein provided for or relating to such transaction have been complied with.

188

Table of Contents

Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such a consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to, shall be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the notes and the Indenture, with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company therein. In the event of any transaction (other than a lease) described and listed in the immediately preceding paragraphs in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed or remaining shall succeed to, be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Company, and the Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the notes and the Indenture.

Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to purchase all outstanding notes (as described in the Indenture) at a purchase price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send, by first class mail, a notice to each holder of notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). The Change of Control Offer is required to remain open for at least 20 Business Days and until the close of business on the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Change of Control provision of the notes may in certain circumstances make it more difficult or discourage a takeover of the Company and, as a result, may make removal of incumbent management more difficult. The Change of Control provision, however, is not the result of the Company's knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate the Company's stock or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise, or part of a plan by management to adopt a series of anti-takeover provisions. Instead, the Change of Control provision is a result of negotiations between the Company and the initial purchasers. The Company is not presently in discussions or negotiations with respect to any pending offers which, if accepted, would result in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that the Company would decide to do so in the future.

The Credit Agreement provides that certain change of control events with respect to the Company would constitute a default thereunder. In such circumstances, the subordination provisions in the Indenture could restrict payments to the holders of the notes. Moreover, the exercise by holders of notes of their right to require the Company to repurchase such notes could cause a default under existing or future debt of the Company, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Company. Finally, the Company's ability to pay cash to the holders of the notes in connection with a Change of Control may be limited to the Company's then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required purchases. The Company's failure to purchase notes in connection with a Change of Control would result in a default under the Indenture. Such a default would, in turn, constitute a default under existing debt of the Company, and may constitute a default under future debt as well. See "Risk Factors—We must offer to repurchase the notes upon a change of control, which could result in an event of default under our senior secured credit facility or under the indentures governing the notes." The Company's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of

189

Table of Contents

such Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes. See "—Modification and Waiver."

The provisions of the Indenture would not necessarily afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the Company that may adversely affect the holders.

If an offer is made to repurchase the notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, the Company will comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer.

(2) the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to interest on any Indebtedness computed on a pro forma basis and bearing a floating interest rate shall be computed as if the rate in effect on the date of computation had been the applicable rate for the entire period; and

(3) with respect to any Indebtedness which bears, at the option of such Person, a fixed or floating rate of interest, such Person shall apply, at its option, either the fixed or floating rate.

"Consolidated Interest Expense" of any Person means, without duplication, for any period, as applied to any Person:

The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or else resign.

The Company will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to any default by the Company in the performance and observance of its obligations under the Indenture.

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture

The Company may, at its option, and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company discharged with respect to all outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantee ("defeasance"). Such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding notes and to have satisfied its other obligations under the Indenture, except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged:

(1) the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest) on such notes when such payments are due;

(2) the Company's obligations with respect to the notes relating to the issuance of temporary notes, the registration, transfer and exchange of notes, the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes, the maintenance of an office or agency in The City of New York, the holding of money for security payments in trust and statements as to compliance with the Indenture;

(3) its obligations in connection with the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee; and

(4) the defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

In addition the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to certain restrictive covenants under the Indenture ("covenant defeasance") and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event covenant defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy and insolvency events) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to the notes.

In order to exercise either defeasance or covenant defeasance:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, certain U.S. government obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest (including Special Interest) on the outstanding notes on the Stated Maturity (or redemption date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any) or installment of interest;

(2) in the case of defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

(a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

205

Table of Contents

(b) since the date of this prospectus, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of covenant defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred;

(4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit shall not cause the Trustee or the trust so created to be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

(5) the Company must comply with certain other conditions, including that such defeasance or covenant defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when:

(1) either:

(a) all such notes that have been authenticated, except notes that have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, whether at maturity or upon redemption or will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture and the Securities; and

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes issued thereunder at maturity or at the redemption date, as the case may be.

206

Table of Contents

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied at the Company's cost and expense.

Modification and Waiver

Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be entered into by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected thereby:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest (including Special Interest) on, any note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest (including Special Interest) thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which any note or any premium or the interest (including Special Interest) thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date);

(2) reduce the amount of, or change the coin or currency of, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of, the Change of Control Purchase Price;

(3) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding notes, the consent of whose holders is necessary to amend or waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or to waive certain defaults;

(4) modify any of the provisions relating to supplemental indentures requiring the consent of holders of the notes, relating to the rights of holders to receive payment of principal and interest on the notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of such payment, on or after the respective due dates set forth in the notes, relating to the waiver of past defaults or relating to the waiver of certain covenants, except to increase the percentage of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is required for such actions or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each note affected thereby; or

(5) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture relating to the subordination of the notes in a manner adverse to any holder of notes.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may waive compliance with certain restrictive covenants and provisions of the Indenture.

Without the consent of any holder of the notes, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture to: cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture; provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes (provided that the uncertificated notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); add Guarantees with respect to the notes; secure the notes; add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders of the notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company; make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the notes; make any change to the subordination provisions of the Indenture that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Indebtedness under such provisions; or comply with any requirement of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

Book-Entry System

The notes will initially be issued in the form of Global Securities held in book-entry form. The notes will be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (the "Depository"), and the Depository or its nominee will initially be the sole registered holder of the notes for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as set forth below, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository.

Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depository or its nominee will credit, on its internal system, the accounts of persons holding through it with the respective principal amounts of the individual beneficial interest represented by such Global Security purchased by such persons in this exchange offer. Such accounts shall initially be designated by the initial purchasers with respect to notes placed by the initial purchasers for the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the Depository ("participants") or persons that may hold interests through participants. Any person acquiring an interest in a Global Security through an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act may hold such interest through Euroclear or Cedel. Ownership of beneficial interests by participants in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee for such Global Security. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Security by persons that hold through participants will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest within such participant will be effected only through, records maintained by such participant. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security.

Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on notes represented by any such Global Security will be made to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the initial purchasers will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the Depository's reports relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security representing any notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of the Depository's records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

The Company expects that upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Global Security, the Depository will immediately credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the accounts of participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal or face amount of such Global Security, as shown on the records of the Depository. The Company expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in "street name" and will be the sole responsibility of such participants.

So long as the Depository or its nominee is the registered owner or holder of such Global Security, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Security for the purposes of receiving payment on the notes, receiving notices and for all other purposes under the Indenture and the notes. Beneficial interests in the notes will be evidenced only by, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository and its participants. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes in definitive form and will not be considered the holders of such Global Security for any purposes under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Security must rely on

208

Table of Contents

the procedures of the Depository and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Indenture. The Company understands that under existing industry practices, in the event that the Company requests any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, the Depository would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interest to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

The Company understands that the Depository will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account with the Depository interests in the Global Security are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction.

Although the Depository has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in Global Securities among participants of the Depository, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the initial purchasers will have any responsibility for the performance by the Depository or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

The Depository has advised the Company that the Depository is a limited- purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act. The Depository was created to hold the securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. The Depository's participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own the Depository. Access to the Depository's book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.

Certificated Notes

Notes represented by a Global Security are exchangeable for certificated notes only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depository for such Global Security or if at any time the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a notice that such Global Security shall be so transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such transfer shall be registrable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes represented by such Global Security. Any Global Security that is exchangeable for certificated notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will be transferred to, and registered and exchanged for, certificated notes in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository or its nominee holding such Global Security may direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Security is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee. In the event that a Global Security becomes exchangeable for certificated notes, (i) certificated notes

209

Table of Contents

will be issued only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, (ii) payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the certificated notes will be payable, and the transfer of the certificated notes will be registrable; at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes and (iii) no service charge will be made for any issuance of the certificated notes, although the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. In addition, such certificates will bear the legend referred to under "Notice to Investors" (unless the Company determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law) subject, with respect to such notes, to the provisions of such legend.

Concerning the Trustee

U.S. Bank National Association is the Trustee under the Indenture.

Governing Law

The Indenture and the notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Treasury Regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This summary is limited to the tax consequences of those persons who are original beneficial owners of the notes, who purchase notes at their initial issue price for cash and who hold such notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, which we refer to as "Holders." This summary does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular Holders in light of their particular investment circumstances or status, nor does it address specific tax consequences that may be relevant to particular persons (including, for example, financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities, expatriates, tax-exempt organizations and persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar or persons in special situations, such as those who have elected to mark securities to market or those who hold notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment). In addition, this summary does not address U.S. federal alternative minimum tax consequences or consequences under the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in this summary, and we cannot assure you that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary is for general information only. Prospective purchasers of the notes are urged to consult their independent tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income taxation and other tax consequences to them of acquiring, owning and disposing of the notes, as well as the application of state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

For purposes of the following summary, "U.S. Holder" is a Holder that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) a citizen or individual resident of the U.S.; (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the U.S. or any political subdivision thereof; (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source; or (iv) a trust, if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all its substantial decisions or if a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person is in effect with respect to such trust. A "Non-U.S. Holder" is a Holder that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not subject to income tax on income derived from holding the notes. A partner of the partnership may be subject to tax on such income under rules similar to the rules for U.S. Holders or Non-U.S. Holders depending on whether (i) the partner is a U.S. or a Non-U.S. person, and (ii) the partnership is or is not engaged in a U.S. trade or business to which income or gain from the notes is effectively connected. If you are a partner of a partnership acquiring notes, you should consult your tax advisor about the U.S. tax consequences of holding and disposing of the notes.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders

Payment of interest

Payments of interest on the notes will generally be treated as "qualified stated interest" for U.S. federal income tax purposes taxable as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received by a U.S. Holder in accordance with the U.S. Holder's regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

211

Table of Contents

Disposition of notes

Upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of cash plus the fair market value of all other property received on such disposition (except to the extent such cash or property is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which is treated as interest as described above) and (ii) such Holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally equals the cost of the note to such Holder decreased by any payments (other than payments of qualified stated interest) received by such holder with respect to the note.

Gain or loss recognized on the disposition of a note generally will be capital gain or loss (except as described below under the heading "Market Discount"), and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of such disposition, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the note is more than twelve months. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may be eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses by U.S. Holders is subject to limitations under the Code.

Market Discount

If a U.S. Holder acquires a note at a cost that is less than its adjusted issue price, as defined above, the amount of such difference is treated as "market discount" for federal income tax purposes, unless such difference is less than .0025 multiplied by the stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity (from the date of acquisition).

Under the market discount rules of the Code, a U.S. Holder is required to treat any partial payment of principal on a note, and any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a note, as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income. If such note is disposed of by the U.S. Holder in certain otherwise nontaxable transactions, accrued market discount must be included as ordinary income by the U.S. Holder as if the holder had sold the note at its then fair market value.

In general, the amount of market discount that has accrued is determined on a ratable basis. A U.S. Holder may, however, elect to determine the amount of accrued market discount on a constant yield to maturity basis. This election is made on a note-by-note basis and is irrevocable.

With respect to notes with market discount, a U.S. Holder may not be allowed to deduct immediately a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or to carry the notes. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, in which case the interest deferral rule set forth in the preceding sentence will not apply. This election will apply to all debt instruments acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and is irrevocable without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in a note will be increased by the amount of market discount included in the holder's income under the election.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

Payment of Interest

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, payments of interest on the notes by us or any of our agents to a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under the "portfolio interest exemption," provided that such payments are not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder, and in the case of a treaty

212

Table of Contents

resident, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment (or, in the case of an individual, a fixed base) maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S. and:

(1)
  the Non-U.S. Holder does not, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes entitled to vote;
(2)
  the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is related to us (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code);
(3)
  the Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and
(4)
  either (a) the beneficial owner of the notes certifies to us or our agent on IRS Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute form or successor form), under penalties of perjury, that it is not a "U.S. person" (as defined in the Code) and provides its name and address, or (b) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business (a "financial institution") and holds the notes on behalf of the beneficial owner certifies to us or our agent, under penalties of perjury, that such a certification has been received from the beneficial owner by it or by a financial institution between it and the beneficial owner and furnishes us with a copy thereof.

If a Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the requirements of the "portfolio interest exemption," payments of interest made to such Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax unless the beneficial owner of the note provides us or our agent, as the case may be, with a properly executed:

(1)
  IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming, under penalties of perjury, an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax under an applicable treaty (a "Treaty Exemption"), or
(2)
  IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) stating that interest paid on the note is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the beneficial owner (in which case such interest will be subject to regular graduated U.S. tax rates as described below).

The certification requirement described above also may require a Non-U.S. Holder that provides an IRS form to also provide its U.S. taxpayer identification number.

We suggest that you consult your tax advisor about the specific methods for satisfying these requirements. A claim for exemption will not be valid if the person receiving the applicable form has actual knowledge or reason to know that the statements on the form are false.

If interest on the note is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the beneficial owner, the Non-U.S. Holder, although exempt from the withholding tax described above, will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such interest on a net income basis in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder. In addition, if such Holder is a foreign corporation and, if required by an applicable treaty, interest is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lesser rate under an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to adjustments. For this purpose, interest on a note which is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business will be included in such foreign corporation's earnings and profits.

Disposition of notes

No withholding of U.S. federal income tax will be required with respect to any gain or income realized by a Non-U.S. Holder upon the sale, exchange or disposition of a note.

A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of a note unless the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in

213

Table of Contents

the U.S. for a period or periods aggregating 183 or more days in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met or such gain or income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder and if required by an applicable treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment (or, in the case of an individual, a fixed base) maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S. Holders

For each calendar year in which the notes are outstanding, we are required to provide the IRS with certain information, including the beneficial owner's name, address and taxpayer identification number, the aggregate amount of interest paid to that beneficial owner during the calendar year and the amount of tax withheld, if any.

In the event that a U.S. Holder subject to the reporting requirements described above fails to supply its correct taxpayer identification number in the manner required by applicable law, is notified by the IRS that it has failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends or fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that it has furnished the correct taxpayer identification number and that it has not been notified by the IRS that it is not subject to backup withholding, we, our agent or paying agents, or a broker may be required to withhold tax at a rate of 28% of each payment of interest and principal on the notes and on the proceeds from a sale of the notes. The backup withholding obligation, however, does not apply with respect to certain payments to U.S. Holders, including corporations and tax-exempt organizations, provided that they establish entitlement to an exemption. This backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be refunded or credited against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

U.S. backup withholding tax will not apply to payments on a note or proceeds from the sale of a note payable to a Non-U.S. Holder if the certification described in "U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders—Payment of interest" is duly provided by such Non-U.S. Holder or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that the payor does not have actual knowledge that the Holder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of any claimed exemption are not satisfied. Certain information reporting may still apply to interest payments even if an exemption from backup withholding is established. Copies of any information returns reporting interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a Non-U.S. Holders resides under the provisions of an applicable treaty.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding tax rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a refund, or a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the requisite procedures are followed.

Recently Enacted Federal Tax Legislation

On March 18, 2010, President Obama signed the "Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act" (the "HIRE Act"), which includes a revised version of a bill known as the "Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2009" or "FATCA."

Under FATCA, foreign financial institutions (which include hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, securitization vehicles and any other investment vehicles regardless of their size) must comply with new information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors or confront a new withholding tax on U.S. source payments made to them. A foreign financial institution

214

Table of Contents

or other foreign entity that does not comply with the FATCA reporting requirements will be subject to a new 30% withholding tax with respect to any "withholdable payments" made after December 31, 2012, other than such payments that are made on "obligations" that were outstanding on March 18, 2012. For this purpose, withholdable payments are U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax and also include the entire gross proceeds from the sale of any equity or debt instruments of U.S. issuers. The new FATCA withholding tax will apply regardless of whether the payment would otherwise be exempt from U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., under the portfolio interest exemption or as capital gain). Treasury is authorized to provide rules for implementing the FATCA withholding regime with the existing nonresident withholding tax rules. FATCA also imposes new information reporting requirements and increase related penalties for U.S. persons.

FATCA withholding will not apply to withholdable payments made directly to foreign governments, international organizations, foreign central banks of issue and individuals, and Treasury is authorized to provide additional exceptions.

As noted above, the new FATCA withholding and information reporting requirements generally will apply to withholdable payments made after December 31, 2012. U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the FATCA provisions to them based on their particular circumstances.

In addition, on March 30, 2010, the President signed into law the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the "Reconciliation Act"). The Reconciliation Act will require certain individuals, estates and trusts to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on "net investment income" including, among other things, interest, dividends, royalties, rents, gross income from a trade or business involving passive activities, and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in a trade or business). This surtax will apply for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012 and may apply in respect of the notes. U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the Reconciliation Act on their ownership and disposition of the notes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 30, 2010
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE" or the "Company") is an intermediate holding company, which, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC") and its subsidiaries, and AMC Entertainment International, Inc. ("AMCEI") and its subsidiaries (collectively with AMCE, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States, Canada, China (Hong Kong), France and the United Kingdom.

AMCE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Marquee Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), an investment vehicle owned through AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent") by J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC and certain related investment funds ("JPMP"), Apollo Management, L.P. and certain related investment funds ("Apollo") and affiliates of Bain Capital Partners ("Bain"), The Carlyle Group ("Carlyle") and Spectrum Equity Investors ("Spectrum") (collectively with JPMP and Apollo, the "Sponsors").

As discussed in Note 10—Corporate Borrowings, Holdings redeemed all remaining outstanding Discount Notes due 2014 on January 3, 2011. Holdings is expected to merge with Parent, with Parent continuing as the holding company for AMCE, subsequent to December 30, 2010.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in response to the requirements of Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 1, 2010. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year (52 weeks) ending March 31, 2011. The Company manages its business under one operating segment called Theatrical Exhibition.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairment charges, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes and (4) Gift card and packaged ticket revenues. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The April 1, 2010 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Additionally, in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, certain operating activities were reclassified to other, net and certain investing activities were reclassified to other, net, with conforming reclassifications made for the prior year presentation. These presentation reclassifications reflect how management evaluates information presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITION

On May 24, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets (92 theatres and 928 screens) of Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC ("Kerasotes"). Kerasotes operated 95 theatres and 972 screens in mid-sized, suburban and metropolitan markets, primarily in the Midwest. More than three quarters of the Kerasotes theatres feature stadium seating and almost 90 percent have been built since 1994. The Company acquired Kerasotes based on their highly complementary geographic presence in certain key markets. Additionally, the Company expects to realize synergies and cost savings related to the Kerasotes acquisition as a result of moving to the Company's operating practices, decreasing costs for newspaper advertising and concessions and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate related functions and elimination of redundancies. The purchase price for the Kerasotes theatres paid in cash at closing was $276,798,000, net of cash acquired, and was subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the Unit Purchase Agreement. The Company paid working capital and other purchase price adjustments of $3,808,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, based on the final closing date working capital and deferred revenue amounts, and has included this amount as part of the total estimated purchase price.

The acquisition of Kerasotes is being treated as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including bid prices from potential buyers and a preliminary valuation assessment. The allocation of purchase price is subject to changes as an appraisal of both tangible and intangible assets and liabilities is finalized and

additional information becomes available; however, we do not expect material changes. The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price:

(In thousands) |  | Total |
--- | --- | --- | ---
Cash |  | $ | 809 |
Receivables, net(1) |  |  | 3,832 |
Other current assets |  |  | 12,905 |
Property, net |  |  | 205,104 |
Intangible assets, net(2) |  |  | 17,387 |
Goodwill(3) |  |  | 109,839 |
Other long-term assets |  |  | 5,920 |
Accounts payable |  |  | (13,538 | )
Accrued expenses and other liabilities |  |  | (12,439 | )
Deferred revenues and income |  |  | (1,806 | )
Capital and financing lease obligations |  |  | (12,583 | )
Other long-term liabilities(4) |  |  | (34,015 | )
Total estimated purchase price |  | $ | 281,415 |

(1)
  Receivables consist of trade receivables recorded at fair value. The Company did not acquire any other class of receivables as a result of the acquisition of Kerasotes.
(2)
  Intangible assets consist of certain Kerasotes' trade names, a non-compete agreement, and favorable leases. See Note 4—Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information.
(3)
  Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations. Amounts recorded for goodwill are not subject to amortization and are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
(4)
  Other long-term liabilities consist of certain theatre and ground leases that have been identified as unfavorable.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs for Kerasotes of approximately $12,100,000, which are included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In connection with the acquisition of Kerasotes, the Company divested of seven Kerasotes theatres with 85 screens as required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. The Company also sold the Kerasotes digital projector systems and one vacant theatre that had previously been closed by Kerasotes. Proceeds from the divested theatres and other property exceeded the carrying amount by approximately $10,671,000, which was recorded as a reduction to goodwill.

The Company was also required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice to divest of four legacy AMC theatres with 57 screens. The Company recorded a gain on disposition of assets of $10,056,000 for one divested legacy theatre with 14 screens during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010, which reduced operating expenses by approximately $10,056,000. Additionally, the Company acquired two theatres with 26 screens that were received in exchange for three of the legacy AMC theatres with 43 screens.

NOTE 5—STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

AMCE has one share of Common Stock issued as of December 30, 2010, which is owned by Holdings. Holdings has one share of Common Stock issued as of December 30, 2010, which is owned by Parent.

During September of 2010, AMCE used cash on hand to pay a dividend distribution to Holdings in an aggregate amount of $15,184,000. Holdings and Parent used the available funds to make a cash interest payment on the 12% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 and pay corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.

During December of 2010, AMCE used cash on hand to pay a dividend distribution to Holdings in an aggregate amount of $185,034,000. Holdings used the available funds to make a cash payment related to a tender offer for the 12% Senior Discount Notes due 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has no stock-based compensation arrangements of its own, but Parent has adopted a stock-based compensation plan that permits a maximum of 49,107.44681 options to be issued on Parent's stock under the amended and restated 2004 Stock Option Plan. The stock options have a ten year term and generally step vest in equal amounts from one to three or five years from the date of the grant. Vesting may accelerate for a certain participant if there is a change of control (as defined in the plan). All outstanding options have been granted to employees and one director of the Company. The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value method of accounting and has elected to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of "plain vanilla" share option grants, as it does not have enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate.

On July 8, 2010, the Board approved a grant of 1,023 non-qualified stock options to a certain employee of the Company under the amended and restated 2004 Stock Option Plan. These options vest ratably over 5 years with an exercise price of $752 per share. Expense for this award will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. See 2010 Equity Incentive Plan below for further information regarding assumptions used in determining fair value. On July 23, 2010, the Board determined that the Company would no longer grant any awards of shares of common stock of the Company under the amended and restated 2004 Stock Option Plan.

2010 Equity Incentive Plan

On July 8, 2010, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Parent and the stockholders of Parent approved the adoption of the AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock

appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards or performance-based compensation awards.

Subject to adjustment as provided for in the Plan, (i) the aggregate number of shares of common stock of Parent available for delivery pursuant to awards granted under the Plan is 39,312 shares, (ii) the number of shares available for granting incentive stock options under the Plan will not exceed 19,652 shares and (iii) the maximum number of shares that may be granted to a participant each year is 7,862.

On July 8, 2010, the Board approved the grants of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock (time vesting), and restricted stock (performance vesting) to certain of its employees. The estimated fair value of the stock at the grant date was approximately $752 per share and was based upon a contemporaneous valuation reflecting market conditions. The award agreements under the Plan generally have the following features, subject to discretionary approval by Parent's compensation committee:

•
  Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement: The Board approved the grant of 5,399 stock options, of which 5,354 stock options have been granted. Twenty-five percent of the options will vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant; provided, however, that the options will become fully vested and exercisable if within one year following a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), the participant's service is terminated by the Company without cause. The stock options have a ten year term from the date of grant. The estimated grant date fair value of the options granted on 5,354 shares was $293.72 per share, or $1,573,000, and was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option exercise price was $752 per share, and the estimated fair value of the shares was $752, resulting in $0 intrinsic value for the option grants.
•
  Restricted Stock Award Agreement (Time Vesting): The Board approved the grant of 5,399 shares of restricted stock (time vesting), of which 5,354 shares have been granted. The restricted shares will become vested on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted shares will become fully vested if within one year following a Change of Control, the participant's service is terminated by the Company without cause. The estimated grant date fair value for the 5,354 shares of restricted stock (time vesting) granted was $4,028,000, or approximately $752 per share.
•
  Restricted Stock Award Agreement (Performance Vesting): The Board approved the grant of 5,404 shares of restricted stock (performance vesting), of which 1,339 shares have been granted. Approximately twenty-five percent of the total restricted shares of 5,404 approved by the Board will be granted each year over a four-year period. Each grant has a vesting term of approximately one year upon the Company meeting certain pre-established annual performance targets; provided, however, that the restricted shares will become fully vested if within one year following a Change of Control, the participant's service is terminated by the Company without cause. The fiscal 2011 performance target was established at the grant date following ASC 718-10-55-95 and the estimated grant date fair value was $1,008,000, or approximately $752 per share. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, it was determined to be improbable for the Company to meet its pre-established annual performance target for fiscal 2011. The Company

The Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,020,000 and $1,248,000 within general and administrative: other during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The Company's financial statements reflect an increase to additional paid-in capital related to stock-based compensation for awards and all outstanding options of $1,020,000 during fiscal 2011. As of December 30, 2010, there was approximately $6,729,000 of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements under both the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2004 Stock Option Plan expected to be recognized over a weighted average 3.5 years.

(1)
  Certain differences in the Company's recorded investment for one U.S. motion picture theatre where it has a 50% interest, and its proportional ownership share resulting from the acquisition of the asset in a business combination where the investment was initially recorded at fair value, are amortized to equity in (earnings) or losses over the estimated useful life of approximately 20 years for the underlying building. The recorded equity in earnings of NCM on common membership units owned immediately following the IPO of National CineMedia, Inc. ("NCM, Inc.") (Tranche 1 Investment) does not include undistributed equity in earnings. The Company considered the excess distribution received following NCM, Inc.'s IPO as an advance on NCM's future earnings. As a result, the Company will not recognize any undistributed equity in earnings of NCM on the original common membership units (Tranche 1 Investment) until NCM's future net earnings equal the amount of the excess distribution.

  Effective June 14, 2010 and with a settlement date of June 28, 2010, the Company received 6,510,209 common membership units of NCM as a result of an Extraordinary Common Unit Adjustment in connection with the Company's acquisition of Kerasotes. The Company recorded the additional units at a fair value of $111,520,000 based on a price per shares of NCM, Inc. on June 14, 2010, of $17.13 per share, with an offsetting adjustment to deferred revenue.

  All of the Company's NCM membership units are redeemable for, at the option of NCM, cash or shares of common stock of NCM, Inc. on a share-for-share basis. On August 18, 2010, the Company sold 6,500,000 shares of common stock of NCM, Inc. in an underwritten public offering for $16.00 per share and reduced the Company's related investment in NCM by $36,709,000, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. Net proceeds received on this sale were $99,840,000 after deducting related underwriting fees and professional and consulting costs of $4,160,000, resulting in a gain on sale of $63,131,000. In addition, on September 8, 2010, the Company sold 155,193 shares of NCM, Inc. to the underwriters to cover over-allotments for $16.00 per share and reduced the Company's related investment in NCM by $867,000, the average carrying amount of the shares owned.

  Represents equity in earnings on the Tranche 2 Investments only.

Differences in Accounting for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Investments in NCM

On February 13, 2007, NCM, Inc., the sole manager of NCM, closed its IPO and used the net proceeds from the IPO to purchase a 44.8% interest in NCM, paying NCM $746,100,000 and paying the Founding Members $78,500,000 for a portion of the NCM units owned by them. NCM then paid $686,300,000 of the funds received from NCM, Inc. to the Founding Members as consideration for their agreement to modify the then-existing ESA. Also in connection with the IPO, NCM used $59,800,000 of the proceeds it received from NCM, Inc. and $709,700,000 of net proceeds from its new senior secured credit facility entered into concurrently with the completion of the IPO to redeem $769,500,000 in NCM preferred units held by the Founding Members. The redemption distribution to the Founding Members described above related to the IPO resulted in large Members' Deficit amounts for the Founding Members.

The Company received approximately $259,300,000 for the redemption of all of its preferred units in NCM and approximately $26,500,000 from selling common units in NCM to NCM, Inc. In addition, the Company received $231,300,000 as consideration for modifying the ESA.

Following the IPO, the Company determined it would not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on the original 17,474,890 NCM membership units (Tranche 1 Investment) until NCM's future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution which created the Members' deficit in NCM. The Company considers the excess distribution described above as an advance on NCM's future earnings and, accordingly, future earnings of NCM should not be recognized through the application of equity method accounting until such time as its share of NCM's future earnings, net of distributions received, exceeds the excess distribution. The Company believes that the

NOTE 6—INVESTMENTS (Continued)

accounting model provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor's basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution. The Company's Tranche 1 Investment recorded at $0 corresponds with a NCM Members' Deficit amount in its capital account.

The Company has received 7,983,723 additional units in NCM subsequent to the IPO as a result of Common Unit Adjustments received from March 27, 2008 through June 14, 2010 (Tranche 2 Investments). The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18, Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition) by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14. Both sets of literature indicate that if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses. The Company concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the Common Unit adjustments included in its Tranche 2 Investments equates to making additional investments in NCM. The Company has evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in NCM and the assets exchanged for these additional units and has determined that the right to use its incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. This determination was formed by considering that (i) NCM does not receive any additional funds from the Tranche 2 Investments, (ii) both NCM and AMC record their respective increases to Members' Equity and Investment at the same amount (fair value of the units issued), (iii) the additional investments result in additional ownership in NCM and (iv) the investments in additional common units are not subordinate to the other equity of NCM. As such, the additional common units received would be accounted for as a Tranche 2 Investment separate from the Company's initial investment following the equity method. The Company's Tranche 2 Investments correspond with the NCM Members' equity amounts in its capital account.

NOTE 7—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

| Level 1: |  | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
| Level 2: |  | Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
| Level 3: |  | Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Valuation Techniques. The Company's money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The restricted short-term investments are liquid, overnight deposits which are held as collateral for the Company's letters of credits, and are measured at fair value using principal amounts deposited plus any interest paid. The equity securities, available-for-sale, primarily consist of common stock and mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. The Company is restricted from selling its shares of RealD Inc. until January 2011 when the related lock-up period expires. The unrecognized gain of the equity securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 30, 2010 is $4,533,000.

Investment in RealD Inc. Common Stock. Under its RealD Inc. motion picture license agreement, the Company received a ten-year option to purchase 1,222,782 shares of RealD Inc. common stock at approximately $0.00667 per share. The stock options vest in 3 tranches upon the achievement of screen installation targets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company vested in the first tranche and received 407,594 shares of RealD Inc. common stock. The stock is accounted for as an equity security, available for sale, and is recorded in the consolidated balance sheet in other

long-term assets with an offsetting entry recorded to other long-term liabilities. The deferred lease incentive recorded in other long-term liabilities of $6,519,000 will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the license agreement, which is approximately 8.6 years, to reduce RealD license expense recorded in the statement of operations under operating expense. Any fair value adjustments of RealD Inc. common stock will be recorded to other long-term assets with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The Company vested in an additional 407,594 shares of RealD Inc. options, which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, after achieving its second tranche of screen installation targets. During January 2011, the Company recorded an increase in other long-term assets of $11,361,000, based on the fair value of RealD Inc. common stock at the date of vesting, with an offsetting entry recorded to other long-term liabilities. The deferred lease incentive of $11,361,000 recorded in other long-term liabilities will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the license agreement, which is approximately 9.7 years, to reduce RealD license expense recorded in the statement of operations under operating expense.

Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value. At December 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the Company's liabilities for corporate borrowings was approximately $2,335,384,000 and the fair value was approximately $2,426,688,000. At April 1, 2010, the carrying amount of the corporate borrowings was approximately $1,832,854,000 and the fair value was approximately $1,891,002,000. Quoted market prices were used to value publicly held corporate borrowings. The carrying value of cash and equivalents approximates fair value because of the short duration of those instruments.

NOTE 8—INCOME TAXES

The difference between the effective tax rate on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and the U.S. federal income tax statutory rate is as follows:

tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The effective rate for the period ending December 30, 2010 was substantially less than the expected rate primarily due to the federal tax expense being fully offset by various federal tax credits. The state tax provision was for the states that impose their income based taxes on a gross sales method or that impose a margin tax or that have suspended the use of net operating loss carryforwards into the current tax year.

NOTE 9—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors frozen non-contributory qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans generally covering all employees who, prior to the freeze, were age 21 or older and had completed at least 1,000 hours of service in their first twelve months of employment, or in a calendar year ending thereafter, and who were not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company also offers eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan (medical and dental). Certain employees are eligible for subsidized postretirement medical benefits. The eligibility for these benefits is based upon a participant's age and service as of January 1, 2009.

The Company expects to make pension contributions of approximately $390,000 per quarter for a total of approximately $1,560,000 during fiscal 2011.

Net periodic benefit cost recognized for the plans during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consists of the following:

Net periodic benefit cost |  | $ | 752 |  | $ | 1,336 |  | $ | 423 |  | $ | 514 |

Effective July 29, 2010, the Company was able to determine it will no longer be obligated to contribute to one of its union sponsored pension plans under a new union contract, triggering a complete withdrawal from the plan. The Company recorded a liability and expense related to the complete withdrawal of approximately $2,661,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

The Company sponsors a voluntary 401(k) savings plan covering certain employees age 21 or older and who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The company currently matches 50% of each eligible employee's elective contributions up to 6% of the employee's eligible compensation.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 15, 2010, the Company entered into a third amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated as of January 26, 2006 to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity of the term loans held by accepting lenders and to increase the interest rate with respect to such term loans, (ii) replace the Company's existing revolving credit facility (with higher interest rates and a longer maturity than the existing revolving credit facility), and (iii) amend certain of the existing covenants therein. The following are key terms of the amendment:

amendment. The remaining aggregate term loan principal amount of $142,528,000 will mature on January 26, 2013 (the "Term Loan due 2013"). The current applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2013 is 0.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.50% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2016 is 2.25% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, in the normal course of business, is party to various legal actions. Except as described below, management believes that the potential exposure, if any, from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company.

United States of America v. AMC Entertainment Inc. and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. 99 01034 FMC (SHx), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). On January 29, 1999, the Department of Justice (the "Department") filed suit alleging that the Company's stadium style theatres violated the ADA and related regulations. The Department alleged the Company had failed to provide persons in wheelchairs seating arrangements with lines-of-sight comparable to the

general public. The Department alleged various non-line-of-sight violations as well. The Department sought declaratory and injunctive relief regarding existing and future theatres with stadium-style seating, compensatory damages in the approximate amount of $75,000 and a civil penalty of $110,000.

As to line-of-sight matters, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department as to both liability and as to the appropriate remedy. On December 5, 2008, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the trial court as to the appropriate remedy and remanded the case back to the trial court for findings consistent with its decision. The Company and the Department reached a settlement regarding the extent of betterments and remedies required for line-of-sight violations which the parties believe are consistent with the Ninth Circuit's decision. The trial court approved the settlement on November 29, 2010. The betterments will be made over a 5 year term and the Company estimates the unpaid cost of such betterments to be approximately $5,000,000. The Company has recorded a liability of $75,000 for compensation to claimants and fines related to this matter.

As to the non-line-of-sight aspects of the case, on January 21, 2003, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department on matters such as parking areas, signage, ramps, location of toilets, counter heights, ramp slopes, companion seating and the location and size of handrails. On December 5, 2003, the trial court entered a consent order and final judgment on non-line-of-sight issues under which the Company agreed to remedy certain violations at its stadium-style theatres and at certain theatres it may open in the future. Currently the Company estimates that remaining betterments are required at approximately 45 stadium-style theatres. The Company estimates that the unpaid costs of these betterments will be approximately $16,700,000. The estimate is based on actual costs incurred on remediation work completed to date. The actual costs of betterments may vary based on the results of surveys of the remaining theatres.

Michael Bateman v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. CV07-00171). In January 2007, a class action complaint was filed against the Company in the Central District of the United States District Court of California (the "District Court") alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACTA"). FACTA provides in part that neither expiration dates nor more than the last 5 numbers of a credit or debit card may be printed on receipts given to customers. FACTA imposes significant penalties upon violators where the violation is deemed to have been willful. Otherwise damages are limited to actual losses incurred by the card holder. On October 24, 2008, the District Court denied plaintiff's renewed motion for class certification. On September 27, 2010, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the District Court's order and remanded the proceedings for a new determination consistent with their opinion. The Company filed its Petition for En Banc and/or Panel Rehearing on October 8, 2010. The parties have reached a tentative settlement, subject to court approval, which is not expected to have a material adverse impact to the Company's financial condition.

On May 14, 2009, Harout Jarchafjian filed a similar lawsuit alleging that the Company willfully violated FACTA and seeking statutory damages, but without alleging any actual injury (Jarchafjian v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (C.D. Cal. Case No. CV09-03434). The Jarchafjian case has been deemed related to the Bateman case and was stayed pending a Ninth Circuit decision in the Bateman case, which has now been issued. The parties have reached a tentative settlement, subject to court approval, which is not expected to have a material adverse impact to the Company's financial condition.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

In addition to the cases noted above, the Company is also currently a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including concession suppliers and motion picture distributors), landlords and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Except as described above, management believes that the ultimate outcome of such other matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.

NOTE 13—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Amended and Restated Fee Agreement

In connection with the merger with LCE Holdings Inc., Holdings, AMCE and the Sponsors entered into an Amended and Restated Fee Agreement, which provides for an annual management fee of $5,000,000, payable quarterly and in advance to each Sponsor, on a pro rata basis, until the earliest of (i) the twelfth anniversary from December 23, 2004; (ii) such time as the sponsors own less than 20% in the aggregate of Parent; and (iii) such earlier time as Holdings, AMCE and the Requisite Stockholder Majority agree. In addition, the fee agreement provided for reimbursements by AMCE to the Sponsors for their out-of-pocket expenses and to Holdings of up to $3,500,000 for fees payable by Holdings in any single fiscal year in order to maintain AMCE's and its corporate existence, corporate overhead expenses and salaries or other compensation of certain employees. The Amended and Restated Fee Agreement terminated on June 11, 2007, the date of the holdco merger, and was superseded by a substantially identical agreement entered into by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., Holdings, AMCE, the Sponsors and Holdings' other stockholders.

Upon the consummation of a change in control transaction or an initial public offering, each of the Sponsors will receive, in lieu of quarterly payments of the annual management fee, a fee equal to the net present value of the aggregate annual management fee that would have been payable to the Sponsors during the remainder of the term of the fee agreement (assuming a twelve year term from the date of the original fee agreement), calculated using the treasury rate having a final maturity date that is closest to the twelfth anniversary of the date of the original fee agreement date. As of December 30, 2010, the Company estimates that this amount would be $26,127,000. The Company expects to record any lump sum payment to the Sponsors as a dividend.

The fee agreement also provides that the Company will indemnify the Sponsors against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising in connection with the management services provided by the Sponsors under the fee agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE" or the "Company") is an intermediate holding company, which, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC") and its subsidiary, and AMC Entertainment International, Inc. ("AMCEI") and its subsidiaries (collectively with AMCE, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States, Canada, China (Hong Kong), France and the United Kingdom. The Company discontinued its operations in Spain and Portugal during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and discontinued its operations in Mexico during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company's theatrical exhibition business is conducted through AMC and its subsidiaries and AMCEI.

AMCE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Marquee Holdings Inc. ("Holdings") an investment vehicle owned through AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent") by J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC ("JPMP"), Apollo Management, L.P. and certain related investment funds ("Apollo") and affiliates of Bain Capital Partners ("Bain"), The Carlyle Group ("Carlyle") and Spectrum Equity Investors ("Spectrum") (collectively with JPMP and Apollo the "Sponsors").

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Goodwill, (3) Income Taxes, (4) Pension and Postretirement Assumptions and (5) Film Exhibition Costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMCE and all subsidiaries, as discussed above. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholder's equity, net earnings (loss) and comprehensive earnings (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests.

Fiscal Year: The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Thursday closest to the last day of March. Both fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 reflect 52 week periods, while fiscal 2008 reflects a 53 week period.

Revenues: Revenues are recognized when admissions and concessions sales are received at the theatres. The Company defers 100% of the revenue associated with the sales of gift cards and packaged tickets until such time as the items are redeemed or management believes future redemption to be remote based upon applicable laws and regulations. During fiscal 2008, management changed its estimate of when it believes future redemption to be remote for packaged tickets from 24 months from the date of sale to 18 months from the date of sale. During fiscal 2009, management changed its estimate of redemption rates for packaged tickets. Management believes the 18 month estimate and revised redemption rates are supported by its continued development of specific historical redemption patterns for gift cards and that they are reflective of management's current best estimate. These changes in estimate had the effect of increasing other theatre revenues by approximately $4,200,000 in fiscal 2008 and by approximately $2,600,000 during fiscal 2009. The impact on earnings from continuing operations and net earnings for the change in estimate was an increase to those earnings of

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

approximately $2,600,000 during fiscal 2008. The impact on loss from continuing operations and net loss for the change in estimate was a decrease to those losses of approximately $1,600,000 during fiscal 2009. During the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009, and April 3, 2008, the Company recognized $13,591,000, $14,139,000, and $11,289,000 of income, respectively, related to the derecognition of gift card liabilities where management believes future redemption to be remote which was recorded in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Film Exhibition Costs: Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and estimates of the final settlement to the film licenses. Film exhibition costs include certain advertising costs. As of April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, the Company recorded film payables of $78,499,000 and $60,286,000, respectively, which is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Concession Costs: The Company records payments from vendors as a reduction of concession costs when earned unless it is determined that the payment was for the fair value of services provided to the vendor where the benefit to the vendor is sufficiently separable from the Company's purchase of the vendor's products. In the latter instance, revenue is recorded when and if the consideration received is in excess of fair value, then the excess is recorded as a reduction of concession costs. In addition, if the payment from the vendor is for a reimbursement of expenses, then those expenses are offset.

Screen Advertising: On March 29, 2005, the Company and Regal Entertainment Group combined their respective cinema screen advertising businesses into a new joint venture company called National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM") and on July 15, 2005, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. ("Cinemark") joined NCM, as one of the founding members. NCM engages in the marketing and sale of cinema advertising and promotions products; business communications and training services; and the distribution of digital alternative content. The Company records its share of on-screen advertising revenues generated by NCM in other theatre revenues.

Loyalty Program: The Company records the estimated incremental cost of providing free concession items for awards under its Moviewatcher loyalty program when the awards are earned. Historically, the costs of these awards have not been significant.

Advertising Costs: The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and does not have any direct-response advertising recorded as assets. Advertising costs were $9,103,000, $18,121,000 and $20,677,000 for the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively.

Cash and Equivalents: Under the Company's cash management system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in book overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are classified within accounts payable in the balance sheet. The change in book overdrafts are reported as a component of operating cash flows for accounts payable as they do not represent bank overdrafts. The amount of these checks included in accounts payable as of April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009 was $60,943,000 and $55,302,000, respectively. All highly liquid debt instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are recorded at cost or fair value, in the case of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, and are comprised of lease rights, amounts assigned to theatre leases acquired under favorable terms, customer relationship intangible assets, management contracts and trademarks, each of which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets except for a customer relationship intangible asset and the AMC Trademark intangible asset associated with the merger with Marquee. The customer relationship intangible asset is amortized over eight years based upon the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be consumed or otherwise used up. This pattern indicates that over 2/3rds of the cash flow generated from the asset is derived during the first five years. The AMC Trademark intangible asset is considered an indefinite lived intangible asset, and therefore is not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually. In fiscal 2009, the Company impaired a favorable lease intangible asset in the amount of $1,364,000.

Investments: The Company accounts for its investments in non-consolidated entities using either the cost or equity methods of accounting as appropriate, and has recorded the investments within other long-term assets in its consolidated balance sheets and records equity in earnings and losses of those entities accounted for following the equity method of accounting within equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated entities in its consolidated statements of operations. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-30-35-3, which prescribes the use of the equity method for investments that are not considered to be minor in limited liability companies that maintain specific ownership accounts. The Company classifies gains and losses on sales of and changes of interest in equity method investments within equity in (earnings) losses of non-consolidated entities, and classifies gains and losses on sales of investments accounted for using the cost method in investment income. As of April 1, 2010, the Company holds an 18.23% interest in NCM, a joint venture that markets and sells cinema advertising and promotions; a 26% interest in Movietickets.com, a joint venture that provides moviegoers with a way to buy movie tickets online, access local showtime information, view trailers and read reviews; a 29.0% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC, a joint venture charged with implementing digital cinema in the Company's theatres; a 50% interest in three theatres that are accounted for following the equity method of accounting; and a 50% interest in Midland Empire Partners, LLC, a joint venture developing live and film entertainment venues in the Power & Light District of Kansas City, Missouri. In February 2007, the Company recorded a change of interest gain of $132,622,000 and received distributions in excess of its investment in NCM related to the redemption of preferred and common units of $106,188,000. Future equity in earnings from NCM on the Company's original NCM membership units (Tranche 1 Investment) will not be recognized until cumulative earnings exceed the redemption gain or cash distributions of earnings are received following the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-22. Additional NCM membership units received pursuant to the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 represent separate investments (Tranche 2 Investments) and any undistributed equity in the earnings of NCM are recognized under the equity method of accounting following the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-29. See Note 5—Investments for Additional Discussion of the Tranche 1 Investment and Tranche 2 Investments. At April 1, 2010, the Company's recorded investments are less than its proportional ownership of the underlying equity in these entities by approximately $2,868,000, excluding NCM. These differences will be amortized to equity in earnings or losses over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or evaluated for impairment. Included in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities for the fifty-two weeks ended

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Years Ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

April 2, 2009 is an impairment charge of $2,742,000 related to a theatre joint venture investment. The decline in the fair market value of the investment was considered other than temporary due to competitive theatre builds.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets related to acquisitions. The Company is not required to amortize goodwill as a charge to earnings; however, the Company is required to conduct an annual review of goodwill for impairment.

The Company's recorded goodwill was $1,814,738,000 as of both April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009. The Company evaluates goodwill and its trademark for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. The Company's goodwill is recorded in its Theatrical Exhibition operating segment which is also the reporting unit for purposes of evaluating recorded goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value the Company is required to reallocate the fair value of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value by using an enterprise valuation methodology determined by applying multiples to cash flow estimates less net indebtedness, which the Company believes is an appropriate method to determine fair value. There is considerable management judgment with respect to cash flow estimates and appropriate multiples and discount rates to be used in determining fair value and such management estimates fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy, see Note 14—Fair Value Measurements.

The Company performed its annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The fair value of the Company's Theatrical Exhibition operations exceed the carrying value by more than 10% and management does not believe that impairment is probable.

Other Long-term Assets: Other long-term assets are comprised principally of investments in partnerships and joint ventures, costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt securities, which are being amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the issuances, and capitalized computer software, which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the software.

Leases: The majority of the Company's operations are conducted in premises occupied under lease agreements with initial base terms ranging generally from 15 to 20 years, with certain leases containing options to extend the leases for up to an additional 20 years. The Company does not believe that exercise of the renewal options are reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index not to exceed certain specified amounts and contingent rentals based on revenues with a guaranteed minimum.

The Company's lease terms commence at the time it obtains "control and access" to the leased premises which is generally a date prior to the "lease commencement date" contained in the lease agreements.

The Company records rent expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the base term of the lease agreements commencing with the date the Company has "control and access" to the

leased premises, which is generally a date prior to the "lease commencement date" in the lease agreement. Rent expense related to any "rent holiday" is recorded as operating expense, until construction of the leased premises is complete and the premises are ready for their intended use. Rent charges upon completion of the leased premises subsequent to the theatre opening date are expensed as a component of rent expense.

Occasionally, the Company will receive amounts from developers in excess of the costs incurred related to the construction of the leased premises. The Company records the excess amounts received from developers as deferred rent and amortizes the balance as a reduction to rent expense over the base term of the lease agreement.

The Company evaluates the classification of its leases following the guidance in ASC 540-10-25. Leases that qualify as capital leases are recorded at the present value of the future minimum rentals over the base term of the lease using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Capital lease assets are assigned an estimated useful life at the inception of the lease that generally correspond with the base term of the lease.

Occasionally, the Company is responsible for the construction of leased theatres and for paying project costs that are in excess of an agreed upon amount to be reimbursed from the developer. ASC 840-40-05-5 requires the Company to be considered the owner (for accounting purposes) of these types of projects during the construction period and therefore is required to account for these projects as sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company has recorded $30,956,000 and $31,970,000 as financing lease obligations for failed sale leaseback transactions on its Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these types of projects as of April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions: The Company accounts for the sale and leaseback of real estate assets in accordance with ASC 840-40. Losses on sale leaseback transactions are recognized at the time of sale if the fair value of the property sold is less than the undepreciated cost of the property. Gains on sale and leaseback transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining base term of the lease.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets: The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles, investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method, marketable equity securities and internal use software for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company identifies impairments related to internal use software when management determines that the remaining carrying value of the software will not be realized through future use. The Company reviews internal management reports on a quarterly basis as well as monitors current and potential future competition in the markets where it operates for indicators of triggering events or circumstances that indicate potential impairment of individual theatre assets. The Company evaluates theatres using historical and projected data of theatre level cash flow as its primary indicator of potential impairment and considers the seasonality of its business when making these evaluations. The Company performs its annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter because Christmas and New Year's holiday results comprise a significant portion of the Company's operating cash flow and the actual results from this period, which are available during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, are an integral part of the impairment analysis. Under these analyses, if the sum of the estimated future cash flows, undiscounted

and without interest charges, are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated cash flows from continuing use until the expected disposal date or the fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The expected disposal date does not exceed the remaining lease period unless it is probable the lease period will be extended and may be less than the remaining lease period when the Company does not expect to operate the theatre to the end of its lease term. The fair value of assets is determined as either the expected selling price less selling costs (where appropriate) or the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment has been determined using similar asset sales and in some instances with the assistance of third party valuation studies. The discount rate used in determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows was based on management's expected return on assets during fiscal 2010.

There is considerable management judgment necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows and fair values of our theatres and other long-lived assets, and, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates which fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy, see Note 14—Fair Value Measurements. During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized non-cash impairment losses of $3,765,000 related to theatre fixed assets. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $2,330,000 on five theatres with 41 screens (in California, Florida, Maryland, New York and Utah), which was related to property, net. The Company also adjusted the carrying value of an undeveloped real estate asset located in Illinois based on a recent appraisal which resulted in an impairment charge of $1,435,000.

Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are included in the following captions:

Foreign Currency Translation: Operations outside the United States are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange. The resultant translation adjustments are included in foreign currency translation adjustment, a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, except those intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, are included in net earnings (loss).

Stock-based Compensation: AMCE has no stock-based compensation arrangements of its own; however its ultimate parent, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. granted options on 60,243.17873 shares to certain employees during the periods ended March 31, 2005, March 30, 2006, April 2, 2009 and April 1, 2010. Because the employees to whom the options were granted are employed by AMCE, AMCE has reflected the stock-based compensation expense associated with the options within its consolidated statements of operations. The options have a ten year term and the options granted during fiscal 2005 step-vest in equal amounts over five years with the final vesting having occurred on December 23, 2009. The options granted during fiscal 2006 step-vest in equal amounts over three years with final vesting having occurred on December 23, 2008. The options granted during fiscal 2009 step-vest in equal amounts over five years with final vesting occurring on March 6, 2014, but vesting may accelerate for certain participants if there is a change of control (as defined in the plan). The options granted during fiscal 2010 step-vest in equal amounts over five years with final vesting occurring on May 28, 2014. AMCE has recorded $1,384,000, $2,622,000 and $207,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to these options within general and administrative: other for fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The options have been accounted for using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, and the Company has valued the options using the Black-Scholes formula and has elected to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of "plain vanilla" share option grants as it does not have enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate.

  The Company uses share values of its publicly traded competitor peer group for purposes of calculating volatility.

Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10. Under ASC 740-10, deferred income tax effects of transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and income tax return purposes are recorded by the liability method. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of deferred income or expense items and recognizes changes in income tax laws in the period of enactment. The income statement effect is generally derived from changes in deferred income taxes on the balance sheet.

AMCE entered into a tax sharing agreement with Holdings and Parent under which AMCE agreed to make cash payments to Holdings and Parent to enable it to pay any (i) federal, state or local income taxes to the extent that such income taxes are directly attributable to AMCE or its subsidiaries' income and (ii) franchise taxes and other fees required to maintain Holdings' and Parent's legal existence.

Casualty Insurance: The Company is self-insured for general liability up to $500,000 per occurrence and carries a $400,000 deductible limit per occurrence for workers compensation claims. The Company utilizes actuarial projections of its ultimate losses to calculate its reserves and expense. The actuarial method includes an allowance for adverse developments on known claims and an allowance for claims which have been incurred but which have not yet been reported. As of April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, the Company had recorded casualty insurance reserves of $16,253,000 and $19,179,000, respectively, net of estimated insurance recoveries. The Company recorded expenses related to general liability and workers compensation claims of $11,363,000, $10,537,000 and $14,836,000 for the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, ("ASU 2010-06"). This Update provides a greater level of disaggregated information and enhanced disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and is effective for the Company as of the end of fiscal 2010 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years and is effective for

the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2011. See Note 11—Employee Benefit Plans and Note 14—Fair Value Measurements for required disclosures.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, ("ASU 2009-13"). This Update provides amendments to the criteria in Subtopic 605-25 that addresses how to separate multiple-deliverable arrangements and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. In addition, this amendment significantly expands the disclosure requirements related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact ASU 2009-13 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB amended guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and requires an analysis to determine whether the variable interest gives a company a controlling financial interest in the variable interest entity. This guidance is included in ASC 810, Consolidation, which will require an ongoing reassessment and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining whether a company is the primary beneficiary. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009 and is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company is in the process of determining what effects the application of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial position, but does not believe the guidance will have a material impact.

In December 2008, the FASB issued ASC 715-20-65, guidance for employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets, which requires additional fair value disclosures about employers' defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan assets. Specifically, employers are required to disclose information about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value of each major category of plan assets and information about the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the fair value measurements of plan assets. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 and is effective for the Company in fiscal 2010. See Note 11—Employee Benefit Plans for required disclosures.

In December 2007, the FASB revised ASC 805, Business Combinations, which addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. This statement requires all business combinations completed after the effective date to be accounted for by applying the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method); expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business combinations; requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income, not goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring costs; and requires acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred rather than being capitalized as part of the cost of acquisition. This standard became effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company changed its accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis. In addition, the reversal of valuation allowance for deferred tax assets related to business combinations will flow through the Company's income tax provision, on a prospective basis, as opposed to goodwill.

Effective April 1, 2010, preopening expense, theatre and other closure expense (income), and disposition of assets and other losses (gains) were reclassified to operating expense with a conforming reclassification made for the prior year presentation. Additionally, in the consolidated statements of cash flows, certain operating activities were reclassified to other, net and certain investing activities were reclassified to other, net, with conforming reclassifications made for the prior year presentation. These presentation reclassifications reflect how management evaluates information presented in the statement of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

NOTE 2—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 29, 2008, the Company sold all of its interests in Cinemex, which then operated 44 theatres with 493 screens primarily in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area, to Entretenimiento GM de Mexico S.A. de C.V. The operations and cash flows of the Cinemex theatres have been eliminated from the Company's ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction. The purchase price received at the date of the sale and in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement was $248,141,000. During the year ended April 1, 2010, the Company received payments of $4,315,000 for purchase price related to tax payments and refunds, and a working capital calculation and post closing adjustments. Additionally, the Company estimates that it is contractually entitled to receive an additional $8,752,000 of the purchase price related to other tax payments and refunds. While the Company believes it is entitled to these amounts from Cinemex, the resolution and collection will require litigation which was initiated by the Company on April 30, 2010. Resolution could take place over a prolonged period. As a result of the litigation, the Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts related to this receivable in the amount of $7,480,000 and further directly charged off $1,381,000 of certain amounts as uncollectible with an offsetting charge of $8,861,000 recorded to loss on disposal included as a component of discontinued operations. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Cinemex theatres after the disposition. The results of operations of the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

|  |  | 16,589 |  |  | 17,950 |
|  | $ | 863,532 |  | $ | 964,668 |

Property is recorded at cost or fair value, in the case of property resulting from acquisitions. The Company uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements reflect the shorter of the base terms of the corresponding lease agreements or the expected useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings and improvements |  |  | 5 to 40 years |
Leasehold improvements |  |  | 1 to 20 years |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |  |  | 1 to 10 years |

Expenditures for additions (including interest during construction) and betterments are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains or losses resulting from property disposals are included in operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Depreciation expense was $163,506,000, $174,851,000, and $190,194,000 for the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009, and April 3, 2008, respectively.

At closing the Company contributed 342 projection systems that it owned to DCIP which were recorded at estimated fair value as part of an additional investment in DCIP of $21,768,000. The Company also made cash investments in DCIP of $840,000 at closing and DCIP made a distribution of excess cash to us after the closing date and prior to year-end of $1,262,000. The Company recorded a loss on contribution of the 342 projection systems of $563,000, based on the difference between estimated fair value and its carrying value on the date of contribution. On March 26, 2010, the Company acquired 117 digital projectors from third party lessors for $6,784,000 and sold them together with 7 digital projectors that it owned to DCIP for $6,570,000. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of these 124 systems to DCIP of $697,000. As of April 1, 2010, the Company operated 568 digital projection systems leased from DCIP pursuant to operating leases and anticipates that it will have deployed 4,000 of these systems in its existing theatres over the next three to four years.

The digital projection systems leased from DCIP and its affiliates will replace most of the Company's existing 35 millimeter projection systems in its U.S. theatres. The Company is examining its estimated depreciable lives for its existing equipment, with a net book value of approximately $14,224,000 that will be replaced and expects to accelerate the depreciation of these existing 35 millimeter projection systems, based on the estimated digital projection system deployment timeframe.

NCM Transactions

On March 29, 2005, the Company along with Regal combined their screen advertising operations to form NCM. On July 15, 2005, Cinemark joined the NCM joint venture by contributing its screen advertising business. On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc. ("NCM, Inc."), a newly formed entity that now serves as the sole manager of NCM, closed its initial public offering, or IPO, of 42,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $21.00 per share.

In connection with the completion of NCM, Inc.'s IPO, on February 13, 2007, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the "NCM Operating Agreement") among the Company, Regal and Cinemark (the "Founding Members"). Pursuant to the NCM Operating Agreement, the members are granted a redemption right to exchange common units of NCM for, at the option of NCM, Inc., NCM, Inc. shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the market price of one share of NCM, Inc.'s common stock. Upon execution of the NCM Operating Agreement, each existing preferred unit of NCM held by the Founding Members was redeemed in exchange for $13.7782 per unit, resulting in the cancellation of each preferred unit. NCM used the proceeds of a new $725,000,000 term loan facility and $59,800,000 of net proceeds from the NCM, Inc. IPO to redeem the outstanding preferred units. The Company received approximately $259,347,000 in the aggregate for the redemption of all its preferred units in NCM. The Company received approximately $26,467,000 from selling common units in NCM to NCM, Inc. in connection with the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in the NCM, Inc. IPO.

Also in connection with the completion of NCM, Inc.'s IPO, the Company agreed to modify NCM's payment obligations under the prior Exhibitor Services Agreement ("ESA") in exchange for approximately $231,308,000. The ESA provides a term of 30 years for advertising and approximately five year terms (with automatic renewal provisions) for meeting event and digital programming services, and provides NCM with a five year right of first refusal for the services beginning one year prior to the end of the term. The ESA also changed the basis upon which the Company is paid by NCM from a percentage of revenues associated with advertising contracts entered into by NCM to a monthly theatre access fee. The theatre access fee is now composed of a fixed payment per patron and a fixed payment per digital screen, which increases by 8% every five years starting at the end of fiscal 2011 for payments per patron and by 5% annually starting at the end of fiscal 2007 for payments per digital screen. The theatre access fee paid in the aggregate to the Founding Members will not be less than 12% of NCM's aggregate advertising revenue, or it will be adjusted upward to meet this minimum payment. Additionally, the Company entered into the First Amended and Restated Loews Screen Integration Agreement with NCM on February 13, 2007, pursuant to which the Company paid NCM an amount that approximated the EBITDA that NCM would have generated if it had been able to sell advertising in the Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation ("Loews") theatre chain on an exclusive basis commencing upon the completion of NCM, Inc.'s IPO, and NCM issued common membership units in NCM, increasing the Company's ownership interest to approximately 33.7%; such Loews payments were made quarterly until the former screen advertising agreements expired in fiscal 2009. The Loews Screen Integration payments totaling $15,982,000 have been paid in full in fiscal 2010. The Company is also required to purchase from NCM any on-screen advertising time provided to the Company's beverage concessionaire at a negotiated rate. In addition, the Company expects to receive mandatory

quarterly distributions of excess cash from NCM. Immediately following the NCM, Inc. IPO, the Company held an 18.6% interest in NCM.

Annual adjustments to the common membership units are made pursuant to the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCM, Inc. and the Founding Members. The Common Unit Adjustment Agreement was created to account for changes in the number of theatre screens operated by each of the Founding Members. Historically, each of the Founding Members has increased the number of screens it operates through acquisitions and newly built theatres. Since these incremental screens and increased attendance in turn provide for additional advertising revenues to NCM, NCM agreed to compensate the Founding Members by issuing additional common membership units to the Founding Members in consideration for their increased attendance and overall contribution to the joint venture. The Common Unit Adjustment Agreement also provides protection to NCM in that the Founding Members may be required to transfer or surrender common units to NCM based on certain limited events, including declines in attendance and the number of screens operated. As a result, each Founding Member's equity ownership interests are proportionately adjusted to reflect the risks and rewards relative to their contributions to the joint venture.

The Common Unit Adjustment Agreement provides that transfers of common units are solely between the Founding Members and NCM. There are no transfers of units among the Founding Members. In addition, there are no circumstances under which common units would be surrendered by the Company to NCM in the event of an acquisition by one of the Founding Members. However, adjustments to the common units owned by one of the Founding Members will result in an adjustment to the Company's equity ownership interest percentage in NCM.

Pursuant to our Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, from time to time, common units of NCM held by the Founding Members will be adjusted up or down through a formula ("Common Unit Adjustment") primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. The common unit adjustment is computed annually, except that an earlier common unit adjustment will occur for a Founding Member if its acquisition or disposition of theatres, in a single transaction or cumulatively since the most recent common unit adjustment, will cause a change of 2% or more in the total annual attendance of all of the Founding Members. In the event that a common unit adjustment is determined to be a negative number, the Founding Member shall cause, at its election, either (a) the transfer and surrender to NCM of a number of common units equal to all or part of such Founding Member's common unit adjustment or (b) pay to NCM, an amount equal to such Founding Member's common unit adjustment calculated in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement.

Effective March 27, 2008, the Company received 939,853 common membership units of NCM as a result of the Common Unit Adjustment, increasing the Company's interest in NCM to 19.1%. The Company recorded the additional units received as a result of the Common Unit Adjustment at a fair value of $21.6 million, based on a price for shares of NCM, Inc. on March 26, 2008, of $22.98 per share, and as a new investment (Tranche 2 Investment) with an offsetting adjustment to deferred revenue. Effective May 29, 2008, NCM issued 2,913,754 common membership units to another Founding Member due to an acquisition, which caused a decrease in the Company's ownership share from 19.1% to 18.52%. Effective March 17, 2009, the Company received 406,371 common membership units of NCM as a result of the Common Unit Adjustment, increasing the Company's interest in NCM

to 18.53%. The Company recorded these additional units at a fair value of $5.5 million, based on a price for shares of NCM, Inc. on March 17, 2009, of $13.42 per share, with an offsetting adjustment to deferred revenue. Effective March 17, 2010, the Company received 127,290 common membership units of NCM. As a result of the Common Unit Adjustment among the Founding Members, the Company's interest in NCM decreased to 18.23% as of April 1, 2010. The Company recorded the additional units received at a fair value of $2.3 million, based on a price for shares of NCM, Inc. on March 17, 2010, of $17.99 per share, with an offsetting adjustment to deferred revenue. Effective June 14, 2010 and with a settlement date of June 28, 2010, the Company received 6,510,209 common membership units in NCM as a result of an Extraordinary Common Unit Adjustment in connection with the Company's acquisition of Kerasotes. The Company recorded the additional units at a fair value of $111.5 million, based on a price for shares of NCM, Inc. on June 14, 2010, of $17.13 per share, with an offsetting adjustment to deferred revenue. As a result of the Extraordinary Common Unit Adjustment, the Company's interest in NCM increases to 23.05%.

As a result of NCM, Inc.'s IPO and debt financing, the Company recorded a change of interest gain of $132,622,000 and received distributions in excess of its investment in NCM related to the redemption of preferred and common units of $106,188,000. The Company reduced its investment in NCM to zero and recognized the change of interest gain and the excess distribution as a gain in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities, as it has not guaranteed any obligations of NCM and is not otherwise committed to provide further financial support for NCM.

The NCM, Inc. IPO and related transactions have the effect of reducing the amounts NCM, Inc. would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities as a result of an increase in its proportionate share of tax basis in NCM's tangible and intangible assets. On the IPO date, NCM , Inc. and the Founding Members entered into a tax receivable agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, NCM, Inc. will make cash payments to the Founding Members in amounts equal to 90% of NCM, Inc.'s actual tax benefit realized from the tax amortization of the intangible assets described above. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, cash savings in income and franchise tax will be computed by comparing NCM, Inc.'s actual income and franchise tax liability to the amount of such taxes that NCM, Inc. would have been required to pay had there been no increase in NCM Inc.'s proportionate share of tax basis in NCM's tangible and intangible assets and had the tax receivable agreement not been entered into. The tax receivable agreement shall generally apply to NCM, Inc.'s taxable years up to and including the 30th anniversary date of the NCM, Inc. IPO and related transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the tax receivable agreement, the Company received payments of $3,796,000 from NCM, Inc. in fiscal year 2009 with respect to NCM, Inc.'s 2007 taxable year, and in fiscal year 2010, the Company received payments of $8,788,000 with respect to NCM, Inc.'s 2008 and 2009 taxable year. The Company has recorded the distributions received under the tax receivable agreement from NCM, Inc. as additional proceeds received related to its (Tranche 1 Investment) and has recorded the amounts in earnings in a similar fashion to the proceeds received from the NCM, Inc. IPO.

As of April 1, 2010, the Company owns 18,948,404 units or an 18.23% interest in NCM. As a founding member, the Company has the ability to exercise significant control over the governance of NCM, and, accordingly accounts for its investment following the equity method. The fair market value

(1)
  Certain differences in the Company's recorded investment, for one U.S. motion picture theatre where it has a 50% interest, and its proportional ownership share resulting from the acquisition of the asset in a business combination where the investment was initially recorded at fair value, are amortized to equity in (earnings) or losses over the estimated useful life of approximately 20 years for the underlying building. The recorded equity in earnings of NCM on common membership units owned immediately following the IPO of NCM, Inc. (Tranche 1 Investment) does not include undistributed equity in earnings. The Company considered the excess distribution received following NCM, Inc.'s IPO as an advance on NCM's future earnings. As a result, the Company will not recognize any undistributed equity in earnings of NCM on the original common membership units (Tranche 1 Investment) until NCM's future net earnings equal the amount of the excess distribution.

The Company reviews investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be fully recoverable. The Company reviews unaudited financial statements on a quarterly basis and audited financial statements on an annual basis for indicators of triggering events or circumstances that indicate the potential impairment of these investments as well as current equity prices for its investment in NCM LLC and discounted projections of cash flows for certain of its other investees. Additionally, the Company has quarterly discussions with the management of significant investees to assist in the identification of any factors that might indicate the potential for impairment. In order to determine whether the carrying value of investments may have experienced an "other-than-temporary" decline in value necessitating the write-down of the recorded investment, the Company considers the period of time during which the fair value of the investment remains substantially below the recorded amounts, the investees financial condition and quality of assets, the length of time the investee has been operating, the severity and nature of losses sustained in current and prior years, a reduction or cessation in the investees dividend payments, suspension of trading in the security, qualifications in accountant's reports due to liquidity or going concern issues, investee announcement of adverse changes, downgrading of investee debt, regulatory actions, changes in reserves for product liability, loss of a principal customer, negative operating cash flows or working capital deficiencies and the recording of an impairment charge by the investee for goodwill, intangible or long-lived assets. Once a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the Company writes down its investment to fair value.

Differences in Accounting for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Investments in NCM

On February 13, 2007, NCM, Inc., the sole manager of NCM, closed its IPO and used the net proceeds from the IPO to purchase a 44.8% interest in NCM, paying NCM $746,100,000 and paying the Founding Members $78,500,000 for a portion of the NCM units owned by them. NCM then paid $686,300,000 of the funds received from NCM, Inc. to the Founding Members as consideration for their agreement to modify the then-existing ESA. Also in connection with the IPO, NCM used $59,800,000 of the proceeds it received from the IPO and $709,700,000 of net proceeds from its new senior secured credit facility entered into concurrently with the completion of the IPO to redeem $769,500,000 in NCM preferred units held by the Founding Members. The distributions to the Founding Members described above related to the IPO resulted in large Members' Deficit amounts for the Founding Members.

The Company received approximately $259,300,000 for the redemption of all of its preferred units in NCM and approximately $26,500,000 from selling common units in NCM to NCM, Inc. In addition, the Company received $231,300,000 as consideration for modifying the ESA.

Following the IPO, the Company determined it would not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on the original 17,474,890 NCM membership units (Tranche 1 Investment) until NCM's future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution which created the Members' Deficit in NCM. The Company considers the excess distributions described above as an advance on NCM's future earnings and, accordingly, future earnings of NCM should not be recognized through the application of equity method accounting until such time as its share of NCM's future earnings, net of distributions received, exceeds the excess distribution. The Company believes that the accounting model provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor's basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution. The Company's Tranche 1 Investment recorded at $0 corresponds with a NCM Members' Deficit amount in its capital account.

NOTE 5—INVESTMENTS (Continued)

The Company has received 7,983,723 additional units in NCM subsequent to the IPO as a result of Common Unit Adjustments received from March 27, 2008 through June 14, 2010 (Tranche 2 Investments). The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18 "Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition") by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14. Both sets of literature indicate that if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses. The Company concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the Common Unit Adjustments included in its Tranche 2 Investments equates to making additional investments in NCM. The Company has evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in NCM and the assets exchanged for these additional units and has determined that the right to use its incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. This determination was formed by considering that (i) NCM does not receive any additional funds from the Tranche 2 Investments, (ii) both NCM and AMC record their respective increases to Members' Equity and Investment at the same amount (fair value of the units issued), (iii) the additional investments result in additional ownership in NCM and (iv) the investments in additional common units are not subordinate to the other equity of NCM. As such, the additional common units received would be accounted for as a Tranche 2 Investment separate from the Company's initial investment following the equity method. The Company's Tranche 2 Investments correspond with the NCM Members' equity amounts in its capital account.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

The senior secured credit facility is with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions and provides AMC Entertainment financing of up to $850,000,000, consisting of a $650,000,000 term loan facility with a maturity date of January 26, 2013 and a $200,000,000 revolving credit facility that matures in 2012. The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for swingline borrowings on same-day notice. As of April 1, 2010, AMC Entertainment had approximately $12,832,000 in outstanding letters of credit, leaving $187,168,000 available to borrow against the revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company's option, either a base rate or LIBOR. On March 13, 2007, the Company amended the senior secured credit facility to, among other things, lower the interest rates related to its

term loan, reduce its unused commitment fee and amend the change of control definition so that an initial public offering and related transactions would not constitute a change of control. The current applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings, and the current applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility is 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facility, AMC Entertainment is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.25%. It will also pay customary letter of credit fees. AMC Entertainment may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBOR loans. AMC Entertainment is required to repay $1,625,000 of the term loan quarterly, beginning March 30, 2006 through September 30, 2012, with any remaining balance due on January 26, 2013.

All obligations under the senior secured credit facility are guaranteed by each of AMC Entertainment's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. All obligations under the senior secured credit facility, and the guarantees of those obligations (as well as cash management obligations and any interest hedging or other swap agreements), are secured by substantially all of AMC Entertainment's assets as well as those of each subsidiary guarantor.

The senior secured credit facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, AMC Entertainment's ability, and the ability of its subsidiaries, to sell assets; incur additional indebtedness; prepay other indebtedness (including the notes); pay dividends and distributions or repurchase their capital stock; create liens on assets; make investments; make certain acquisitions; engage in mergers or consolidations; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend certain charter documents and material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness, including Notes due 2014, Notes due 2016, and Notes due 2019; change the business conducted by it and its subsidiaries; and enter into agreements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries.

In addition, the senior secured credit facility requires, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2006, that AMC Entertainment and its subsidiaries maintain a maximum net senior secured leverage ratio as long as the commitments under the revolving credit facility remain outstanding. The senior secured credit facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

AMCE is restricted, in certain circumstances, from paying dividends to Holdings by the terms of the indentures governing its outstanding senior and subordinated notes and its senior secured credit facility. AMCE has not guaranteed the indebtedness of Holdings nor pledged any of its assets as collateral.

Fixed Notes due 2012

In connection with the merger with Marquee, AMC Entertainment became the obligor of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 85/8% Senior Notes due 2012 (the "Fixed Notes due 2012"), that were previously issued by Marquee on August 18, 2004.

NOTE 7—CORPORATE BORROWINGS AND CAPITAL AND FINANCING LEASE OBLIGATIONS (Continued)

On June 9, 2009, AMC Entertainment completed the offering of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes due 2019"). Concurrently with the initial notes offering, the Company launched a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of its then outstanding $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Notes due 2012 at a purchase price of $1,000 plus a $30 consent fee for each $1,000 of principal amount of currently outstanding Fixed Notes due 2012 validly tendered and accepted by the Company on or before the early tender date (the "Cash Tender Offer"). The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes due 2019 to pay the consideration for the Cash Tender Offer plus accrued and unpaid interest on $238,065,000 principal amount of the Fixed Notes due 2012. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment related to the Cash Tender Offer of $10,826,000 in Other expense during the fifty-two weeks ended April 1, 2010, which included previously capitalized deferred financing fees of $3,312,000, a consent fee paid to the holders of $7,142,000 and other expenses of $372,000. On August 15, 2009, the Company redeemed the remaining $11,935,000 of Fixed Notes due 2012 at a price of $1,021.56 per $1,000 principal in accordance with the terms of the indenture. The Company recorded a loss of $450,000 in Other expense related to the extinguishment of the remaining Fixed Notes due 2012 during the fifty-two weeks ended April 1, 2010, which included previously capitalized deferred financing fees of $157,000, consent fee paid to the holders of $257,000 and other expenses of $36,000.

Notes Due 2014

On February 24, 2004, AMC Entertainment sold $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Notes due 2014"). AMC Entertainment applied the net proceeds from the sale of Notes due 2014, plus cash on hand, to redeem all outstanding $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 91/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 and $83,406,000 aggregate principal amount of its Notes due 2011. The Notes due 2014 bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, payable in March and September. The Notes due 2014 are redeemable at the option of AMC Entertainment, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2009 at 104% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after March 1, 2012, plus in each case interest accrued to the redemption date. The Notes due 2014 are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness of AMC Entertainment. The Notes due 2014 are unsecured senior subordinated indebtedness of AMC Entertainment ranking equally with AMC Entertainment's Notes due 2016.

The indenture governing the Notes due 2014 contains certain covenants that, among other things, may limit the ability of AMC Entertainment and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends or make distributions in respect of their capital stock.

In connection with the merger with Marquee, the carrying value of the Notes due 2014 was adjusted to fair value. As a result, a discount of $1,500,000 was recorded and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the notes.

Notes Due 2016

On January 26, 2006, AMC Entertainment issued $325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes due 2016") issued under an indenture (the "Indenture"), with

HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee. The Notes due 2016 will bear interest at a rate of 11% per annum, payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year (commencing on August 1, 2006), and have a maturity date of February 1, 2016.

The Notes due 2016 are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of AMC Entertainment, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior subordinated basis by each of AMC Entertainment's existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee AMC Entertainment's other indebtedness.

AMC Entertainment may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2016 at any time on or after February 1, 2011 at 105.5% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after February 1, 2014.

The indenture relating to our Notes due 2016 allows us to incur all permitted indebtedness (as defined therein) without restriction, which includes all amounts borrowed under our senior secured credit facility. The indenture also allows us to incur any amount of additional debt as long as we can satisfy the coverage ratio of each indenture, after giving effect to the event on a pro forma basis (under the indenture for the Notes due 2016). Under the indenture for the Notes due 2016 (the Company's most restrictive indenture), we could borrow approximately $570,700,000 (assuming an interest rate of 8.25% per annum on the additional indebtedness) in addition to specified permitted indebtedness. If we cannot satisfy the coverage ratios of the indentures, generally we can incur, in addition to amounts borrowed under the senior secured credit facility, no more than $100,000,000 of new "permitted indebtedness" under the terms of the indentures relating to the Notes due 2014, Notes due 2016, and the Parent Term Loan Facility.

The indenture governing the Notes due 2016 contains covenants limiting other indebtedness, dividends, purchases or redemptions of stock, transactions with affiliates and mergers and sales of assets. It also contains provisions subordinating AMC Entertainment's obligations under the Notes due 2016 to AMC Entertainment's obligations under its senior secured credit facility and other senior indebtedness.

Notes Due 2019

On June 9, 2009, AMC Entertainment issued $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.75% Senior Notes (the "Notes due 2019") issued under an indenture (the "Indenture"), with U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Notes due 2019 bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum, payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year (commencing on December 1, 2009), and have a maturity date of June 1, 2019.

The Notes due 2019 are general unsecured senior obligations of AMC Entertainment, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by each of AMC Entertainment's existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee AMC Entertainment's other indebtedness.

The Notes due 2019 are redeemable at our option in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 1, 2014 at 104.375% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal

amount thereof on or after June 1, 2017. In addition, AMC Entertainment may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes using net proceeds from certain equity offerings completed on or prior to June 1, 2012 at a redemption price of 108.75%.

The indenture governing the Notes due 2019 contains covenants limiting other indebtedness, dividends, purchases or redemptions of stock, transactions with affiliates and mergers and sales of assets. It also contains provisions subordinating AMC Entertainment's obligations under the Notes due 2019 to AMC Entertainment's obligations under its senior secured credit facility and other senior indebtedness. The Notes due 2019 were issued at a 2.418% discount which is amortized to interest expense following the interest method over the term of the notes.

As of April 1, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the senior secured credit facility, the Notes due 2016, the Notes due 2014 and the Notes due 2019.

Change of Control

Upon a change of control (as defined in the indentures), AMCE would be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the outstanding Notes due 2019, Notes due 2016, and Notes due 2014 at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The Sponsors are considered Permitted Holders as defined in each of the indentures and as such could create certain voting arrangements that would not constitute a change of control under the indentures.

Holdings Discount Notes Due 2014

To help finance the merger with Marquee, Holdings issued $304,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of its 12% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 ("Discount Notes due 2014") for gross proceeds of $169,917,760. The indenture governing the Discount Notes due 2014 contains certain covenants that, among other things, may limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends or make distributions in respect of their capital stock.

Holdings is a holding company with no operations of its own and has no ability to service interest or principal on the Discount Notes due 2014 other than through any dividends it may receive from AMCE. AMCE will be restricted, in certain circumstances, from paying dividends to Holdings by the terms of the indentures governing the Notes due 2014, the Notes due 2016, the Notes due 2019 and the senior secured credit facility. Under the most restrictive of these provisions, set forth in the Indenture for the Notes due 2016, the amount of loans and dividends which AMCE could make to Holdings may not exceed approximately $309,752,000 in the aggregate as of April 1, 2010. AMCE has not guaranteed the indebtedness of Holdings nor pledged any of its assets as collateral and the obligation is not reflected on AMCE's balance sheet.

On any interest payment date prior to August 15, 2009, Holdings was permitted to commence paying cash interest (from and after such interest payment date) in which case (i) Holdings would be obligated to pay cash interest on each subsequent interest payment date, (ii) the notes would cease to accrete after such interest payment date and (iii) the outstanding principal amount at the maturity of each note would be equal to the accreted value of such notes as of such interest payment date.

Holdings commenced paying cash interest on August 16, 2007 and made its first semi-annual interest payment on February 15, 2008 at which time the principal became fixed at $240,795,000.

Upon a change of control (as defined in the indentures), Holdings would be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the outstanding Discount Notes due 2014 at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Parent Term Loan Facility

To help finance the dividend paid by Parent to its stockholders discussed in Note 8—Stockholder's Equity, Parent entered into a $400,000,000 Credit Agreement dated as of June 13, 2007 ("Parent Term Loan Facility") for net proceeds of $396,000,000. Costs related to the issuance of the Parent Term Loan Facility were capitalized and are charged to interest expense, following the interest method, over the life of the Parent Term Loan Facility. During fiscal 2010, Parent made payments to purchase term loans and reduce the principal balance of its Parent Term Loan Facility from $466,936,000 to $193,290,000 with a portion of the dividend provided by the Company. As of April 1, 2010, the principal balance of the Parent Term Loan Facility, including unpaid interest, was $198,973,000 and the interest rate on borrowings thereunder was 5.26% per annum.

Parent is a holding company with no operations of its own and has no ability to service interest or principal on the Parent Term Loan Facility other than through dividends it may receive from Holdings and AMCE. Holdings and AMCE are restricted, in certain circumstances, from paying dividends to Parent by the terms of the indentures governing their Notes due 2014, Notes due 2016, Discount Notes due 2014, Notes due 2019 and the senior secured credit facility. Holdings and AMCE have not guaranteed the indebtedness of Parent nor pledged any of their assets as collateral and the obligation is not reflected on AMCE's balance sheet.

Borrowings under the Parent Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Parent's option, either a base rate or LIBOR. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the Parent Term Loan Facility is 4.00% with respect to base rate borrowings and 5.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. Interest on borrowings under the Parent Term Loan Facility is payable on each March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, beginning September 15, 2007 by adding such interest for the applicable period to the principal amount of the outstanding loans. Parent is required to pay an administrative agent fee to the lenders under the Parent Term Loan Facility of $100,000 annually.

Parent may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Parent Term Loan Facility, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid at any time on or before June 13, 2010 at 101% of principal and at 100% of principal thereafter. Unpaid principal and interest on outstanding loans under the Parent Term Loan Facility are required to be repaid upon maturity on June 13, 2012.

Upon a change of control (as defined in the Parent Term Loan Facility), Lenders have the right to require Parent to prepay the Parent Term Loan Facility at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Sponsors are considered Permitted Holders as defined in the Parent Term Loan Facility and as such could create certain voting arrangements that

would not constitute a change of control under the Parent Term Loan Facility. In the event of a qualified equity issuance offer as defined in the Parent Term Loan Facility, Parent will, to the extent lawful, prepay the maximum principal amount of loans properly tendered that may be purchased out of any qualified equity issuance net proceeds at a prepayment price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment.

The Parent Term Loan Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, may limit the ability of the Parent to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends or make distributions in respect of its capital stocks, and this obligation is not reflected on AMCE's balance sheet.

NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

AMCE has one share of Common Stock issued as of April 1, 2010 which is owned by Holdings. Holdings has one share of Common Stock issued as of April 1, 2010 which is owned by Parent.

On June 20, 2005, Holdings entered into a merger agreement ("Merger Agreement") with LCE Holdings, Inc. ("LCE Holdings"), the parent of Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation ("Loews"), pursuant to which LCE Holdings merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings continuing as the holding company for the merged businesses, and Loews merged with and into AMCE, with AMCE continuing after the merger (the "Merger" and collectively, the "Mergers"). The transaction closed on January 26, 2006.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on January 26, 2006, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, Holdings issued 256,085.61252 voting shares of Class L-1 Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class L-1 Common Stock"), 256,085.61252 voting shares of Class L-2 Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class L-2 Common Stock" and, together with the Class L-1 Common Stock, the "Class L Common Stock"), 382,475 voting shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A-1 Common Stock"), 382,475 voting shares of Class A-2 Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A-2 Common Stock" and, together with the Class A-1 Common Stock, the "Class A Common Stock"), and 5,128.77496 nonvoting shares of Class N Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class N Common Stock"), such that (i) the former non-management stockholders of LCE Holdings, including the Bain Investors, the Carlyle Investors and the Spectrum Investors (collectively, the "Former LCE Sponsors"), hold all of the outstanding shares of Class L Common Stock, (ii) the pre-existing non-management stockholders of Holdings, including the JPMP Investors and the Apollo Investors (collectively, the "Pre-Existing Holdings Sponsors" and, the Pre-Existing Holdings Sponsors together with the Former LCE Sponsors, the "Sponsors") and other co-investors (the "Coinvestors"), hold all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and (iii) management stockholders of Holdings (the "Management Stockholders" and, together with the Sponsors and Coinvestors, the "Stockholders") hold all of the non-voting Class N Common Stock.

The Class L Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class N Common Stock will automatically convert on a one-for-one basis into shares of Residual Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, upon (i) written consent of each of the Sponsors or (ii) the completion of an initial public offering of capital stock of Parent, Holdings or AMCE (an "IPO").

NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (Continued)

The issuance of the equity securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act") in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

On June 11, 2007, Marquee Merger Sub Inc. ("merger sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings continuing as the surviving corporation ("holdco merger"). As a result of the holdco merger, (i) Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, a newly formed entity controlled by the Sponsors, (ii) each share of Holdings' common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the holdco merger was automatically converted into a substantially identical share of common stock of Parent, and (iii) as further described in this report, each of Holdings' governance agreements was superseded by a substantially identical governance agreement entered into by and among Parent, the Sponsors and Holdings' other stockholders. The holdco merger was effected by the Sponsors to facilitate a previously announced debt financing by Parent and a related dividend to its stockholders. Parent used cash derived from AMCE and proceeds from the issuance of a $400,000,000 Credit Agreement issued by Parent (See Note 7) to pay a dividend to its stockholders of $652,800,000 during fiscal year 2008.

On June 12, 2007, Holdings announced that it had completed a solicitation of consents from holders of its Discount Notes due 2014, and that it had received consents for $301,933,000 in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Discount Notes due 2014, representing 99.32% of the outstanding Discount Notes due 2014. In connection with the receipt of consents, Holdings paid an aggregate consent fee of approximately $4,360,000, representing a consent fee of $14.44 for each $1,000 in principal amount at maturity of Discount Notes due 2014 to which consents were delivered. Accordingly, the requisite consents to adopt the proposed amendment (the "Amendment") to the indenture pursuant to which the Discount Notes due 2014 were issued were received, and a supplemental indenture to effect the Amendment was executed by Holdings and the trustee under the indenture. The Amendment revised the restricted payments covenant to permit Holdings to make restricted payments in an aggregate amount of $275,000,000 prior to making an election to pay cash interest on its senior discount notes. The Amendment also contained a covenant by Holdings to make an election on August 15, 2007, the next semi-annual accretion date under the indenture, to pay cash interest on the senior discount notes. As a result, Holdings made its first cash interest payment on the senior discount notes on February 15, 2008. Holdings used cash on hand at AMCE to pay a dividend to Holdings' current stockholder in an aggregate amount of $275,000,000.

On April 3, 2008, the Company distributed to Holdings $21,830,000, which has been recorded by the Company as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The distribution included $3,279,000 of advances made by the Company on behalf of Holdings prior to fiscal 2008 and $18,551,000 of cash advances made during fiscal 2008, including payment of interest on the Holdings Discount notes due 2014 of $14,447,700.

During fiscal 2009, the Company distributed to Holdings $35,989,000, which has been recorded by the Company as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Holdings and Parent used the available funds to make cash interest payments on the 12% Senior Discount Notes due 2014, repurchase treasury stock and make payments related to the liability classified options, and pay corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.

NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (Continued)

During fiscal 2010, the Company distributed to Holdings $329,981,000 and Holdings distributed $300,881,000 to Parent, which were treated as reductions of additional paid-in capital. Holdings used the available funds to make cash interest payments on the 12% Senior Discount Notes due 2014, to pay corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business and to pay a dividend to Parent. Parent made payments to purchase term loans and reduced the principal balance of its Parent Term Loan Facility from $466,936,000 to $193,290,000 with a portion of the dividend proceeds.

As discussed in Note 9—Income Taxes, the Company adopted the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes, on March 30, 2007. The cumulative effect of the change on adoption charged to accumulated deficit was $5,373,000. As discussed in Note 11—Employee Benefit Plans, the Company adopted the amended provisions of ASC 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, and recorded an $82,000 loss to fiscal 2009 opening accumulated deficit.

Common Stock Rights and Privileges

Parent's Class A-1 voting Common Stock, Class A-2 voting Common Stock, Class N nonvoting Common Stock, Class L-1 voting Common Stock and Class L-2 voting Common Stock entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions with respect to dividends. Additionally, each share of Class A Common Stock, Class L Common Stock and Class N Common Stock shall automatically convert into one share of Residual Common Stock on a one-for-one basis immediately prior to the consummation of an Initial Public Offering.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has no stock-based compensation arrangements of its own, but Parent, has adopted a stock-based compensation plan that permits grants of up to 49,107.44681 options on Parent's stock and has granted options on 4,786.0000, 15,980.45, 600.00000 and 38,876.72873 of its shares to certain employees during the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009, March 30, 2006 and March 31, 2005, respectively. As of April 1, 2010, there was $2,166,000 of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements under the Holdings plan expected to be recognized over five years.

Since the employees to whom the options were granted are employed by the Company, the Company is required to reflect the stock-based compensation expense associated with the options within its consolidated statements of operations. The options have a ten year term, the options granted during fiscal 2005 step-vest in equal amounts over five years with the final vesting having occurred on December 23, 2009, the options granted during fiscal 2006 step-vest in equal amounts over three years with final vesting occurring on December 23, 2008, the options granted in fiscal 2009 step-vest in equal amounts over five years with final vesting occurring on March 6, 2014 and the options granted in fiscal 2010 step-vest in equal amounts over five years with final vesting occurring on May 28, 2014, but vesting may accelerate for one participant if there is a change of control (as defined in the plan). One of the holders of options fully vested during fiscal 2007 upon entry into his employment separation and general release agreement on March 20, 2007. The Company has recorded $1,384,000, $2,622,000 and $207,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to these options within general and administrative: other and has recognized an income tax benefit of $0 in its Consolidated Statements of

NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (Continued)

Operations during each of the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively. One of the previous holders of stock options held put rights associated with his options deemed to be within his control whereby he could require Holdings to repurchase his options and, as a result, the expense for these options was remeasured each reporting period as liability based options at the Holdings level and the related compensation expense was included in AMCE's financial statements. However, since the put option that caused liability classification was a put to AMCE's parent Holdings rather than AMCE, AMCE's financial statements reflect an increase to additional paid-in capital related to stock-based compensation of $1,384,000, $2,622,000 and $207,000 during each of the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively. For the option awards classified as liabilities by Holdings, the Company revalued the options at each period end following the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. In valuing this liability, Holdings used a fair value of common stock of $1,000 per share, which was based on a contemporaneous valuation reflecting market conditions as of April 3, 2008. In May 2008, Holdings was notified of the holder's intention to exercise the put option and Holdings made cash payments to settle the accrued liability of $3,911,000 during fiscal 2009. As a result of the exercise of the put right, there was no additional stock compensation expense related to these options in fiscal 2009 and the related options were canceled upon exercise of the put right during fiscal 2009.

The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value method of accounting and has valued the May 28, 2009 option grants using the Black-Scholes formula which included a valuation prepared by management on behalf of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. This reflected market conditions as of May 28, 2009 which indicated a fair value price per share of the underlying shares of $339.59 per share, a purchase of 2,542 shares by Parent for $323.95 per share from the Company's former Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his Separation and General Release Agreement dated February 23, 2009 and a sale of 385.862 shares by Parent to the Company's current Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his Employment Agreement dated February 23, 2009 for $323.95 per share. See Note 1—The Company and Significant Accounting Policies, Stock-based Compensation for more information regarding Parent's stock option plan.

On February 23, 2009, the Company entered into a Separation and General Release Agreement with Peter C. Brown (formerly Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Parent, Holdings and AMCE), whereby all outstanding vested and unvested options were voluntarily forfeited. Stock compensation expense recorded in fiscal 2009 related only to awards that vested prior to February 23, 2009. Because all vested and unvested awards were forfeited, there is no additional compensation cost to recognize in future periods related to his awards.

  The fiscal 2010 activity primarily relates to an increase in the valuation allowance of $17,612,000 with a corresponding increase in the related deferred tax asset, to present previously unrecognized state net operating loss carryforwards and their corresponding valuation allowance. Additional activity in fiscal 2010 relates to adjustments of $8,494,000 to increase the valuation allowance, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), for certain changes in foreign currency translation and our pension and postretirement obligations. The remaining activity in fiscal 2010 represents an adjustment to the valuation allowance related to the intercompany tax sharing agreement with Parent and Holdings. Pursuant to such agreement, the separate company losses of Parent and Holdings (primarily related to interest expense) are available to offset taxable income generated by the Company. The corresponding adjustment is an increase to the Company's net operating loss deferred tax asset.

  The fiscal 2009 activity primarily relates to a $27,883,000 reduction in the valuation allowance, with a corresponding reduction in the related deferred tax asset, to present net operating loss carryforwards related to uncertain tax positions on a net basis. Additional activity in fiscal 2009 relates to adjustments of $4,124,000 to decrease the valuation allowance, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), for certain changes in foreign currency translation and our pension and postretirement obligations. The offsetting activity in fiscal 2009 represents an adjustment to the valuation allowance related to the intercompany tax sharing agreement with Parent and Holdings, as described above.

NOTE 9—INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The Company's federal income tax loss carryforward of $407,318,000 will begin to expire in 2020 and will completely expire in 2030 and will be limited annually due to certain change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company also has state income tax loss carryforwards of $846,448,000 which may be used over various periods ranging from 1 to 20 years.

Parent completed the repurchase of certain term loans under the Parent term Loan Facility in fiscal 2010. Based upon the historical tax sharing arrangement, Parent should utilize the Company's net operating losses in future years. During fiscal 2010, the Company reversed $1,500,000 of its valuation allowance through the income statement in anticipation of future utilization by Parent. As of April 2, 2009, the Company reversed $31,000,000 of its valuation allowance through Goodwill in anticipation of future utilization by Parent.

During fiscal 2010, management believed it was more likely than not that the Company had the ability to execute a feasible and prudent tax strategy that would provide for the realization of net operating losses that expire through 2022 by converting certain limited partnership units into common stock. Management has reduced its overall valuation allowance by $65,000,000 in fiscal 2010 for the estimated amount of net operating losses that would be realized as a result of this potential action.

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its remaining net deferred tax asset in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions of $263,032,000 as of April 1, 2010.

Effective March 30, 2007, the Company adopted accounting rules regarding uncertainty in income taxes. Relative to the implementation of this guidance, the Company's financial statements did not include any tax contingencies, after consideration of the partial/full valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, the Company recorded a $5,373,000 increase in current deferred tax assets, a $5,373,000 reduction of goodwill, a $5,373,000 current liability and a $5,373,000 charge to the beginning accumulated deficit that is reported as a cumulative effect adjustment for a change in accounting principle to the opening balance sheet position of stockholder's accumulated deficit at March 30, 2007. A reconciliation of the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended April 1, 2010 was as follows:

(In millions) |  | April 1, 2010 |  | April 2, 2009 |  | April 3, 2008 |

As of April 1, 2010, the Company recognized a $7,000,000 liability for uncertain tax positions and a $7,000,000 deferred tax asset for net operating losses on the balance sheet. These uncertain positions

were taken in tax years where the Company generated positive taxable income and they were previously netted against deferred tax assets on the balance sheet.

The Company's effective tax rate would not be significantly impacted by the ultimate resolution of the uncertain tax positions because of the retention of a valuation allowance against most of its net operating loss carryforwards.

During December 2007, the IRS informed the Company of its acceptance of certain tax conclusions that the Company had taken on a transaction the Company entered into during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2007 that were presented to the IRS in a Request for a Pre-Filing Agreement. As a result of the IRS accepting the Company's tax conclusions, the $5,373,000 reserve established with the adoption of the income tax uncertainty guidance was resolved and the tax benefit was recorded during the fiscal year ended April 3, 2008.

The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. As of April 3, 2008, the Company did not have any interest or penalties accrued associated with unrecognized tax benefits. The liabilities for interest and penalties increased by $45,000 and $101,000, as of April 2, 2009 and April 1, 2010, respectively.

There are currently unrecognized tax benefits which the Company anticipates will be resolved in the next 12 months; however, the Company is unable at this time to estimate what the impact on its unrecognized tax benefits will be.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. An IRS examination of the tax years February 28, 2002 through December 31, 2003 of the former Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation and subsidiaries was concluded during fiscal 2007. An IRS examination for the tax years ended March 31, 2005 and March 30, 2006 was completed during 2009. Generally, tax years beginning after March 28, 2002 are still open to examination by various taxing authorities. Additionally, the Company has net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for tax years ended October 31, 2000 through March 28, 2002 in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions which have carryforwards of varying lengths of time. These NOLs are subject to adjustment based on the statute of limitations of the return in which they are utilized, not the year in which they are generated. Various state, local and foreign income tax returns are also under examination by taxing authorities. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any examination will have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 10—LEASES

Beginning in fiscal 1998, the Company has completed numerous real estate lease agreements with Entertainment Properties Trust ("EPT") including transactions accounted for as sale and leaseback transactions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 840, Leases. The leases are triple net leases that require the Company to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation of the theatres such as taxes and other charges, insurance, utilities, service, maintenance and any ground lease payments. As of April 1, 2010, the Company leased from EPT 42 theatres with 924 screens located in the United States and Canada.

The Company also offers eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan (medical and dental). Certain employees are eligible for subsidized postretirement medical benefits. The eligibility for these benefits is based upon a participant's age and service as of January 1, 2009. The Company also sponsors a postretirement deferred compensation plan.

NOTE 11—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded a curtailment gain of $1,072,000 as a result of the retirement of its former chief executive officer on February 23, 2009. The curtailment gain relates to the Retirement Enhancement Plan which included only one active unvested participant and one retired vested participant. Because the former chief executive officer had not vested in his eligible benefit, his retirement created a significant elimination of the accrual of deferred benefits for his future services.

On May 2, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors approved revisions to the Company's Post Retirement Medical and Life Insurance Plan effective January 1, 2009 and on July 3, 2008 the changes were communicated to the plan participants. As a result of these revisions, the Company recorded a negative prior service cost of $5,969,000 through other comprehensive income to be amortized over eleven years based on expected future service of the remaining participants.

Effective March 29, 2007, the Company adopted the amended guidance for employers' accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in ASC 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, ("ASC 715"). ASC 715 requires that, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 the assumptions used to measure annual pension and retiree medical expense be determined as of the balance sheet date and all plan assets and liabilities be reported as of that date. Accordingly, as of the beginning of fiscal 2009, the Company changed the measurement date for the annual pension and postretirement medical expense and all plan assets and liabilities by applying the transition option under which a 15 month measurement was determined as of January 1, 2008, that covers the period to the Company's year-end balance sheet date. As a result of this change in measurement date, the Company recorded an $82,000 loss to fiscal 2009 opening accumulated deficit and a $411,000 unrealized loss to other comprehensive income.

As a result of the Merger in January 2006, the Company acquired two pension plans in the U.S. and one in Mexico. One of the U.S. plans is a frozen cash balance plan and neither of the U.S. plans has admitted new participants post-merger. On December 29, 2008, the Company sold all of its interests in Cinemex, which includes the Mexico Plan. See Note 2—Discontinued Operations for more information.

On November 7, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment to freeze the Company's Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Retirement Enhancement Plan (the "Plans") as of December 31, 2006. On December 20, 2006 the Company amended and restated the Plans to implement the freeze as of December 31, 2006. As a result of the freeze there will be no further benefits accrued after December 31, 2006, but continued vesting for associates with less than five years of vesting service. The Company will continue to fund existing benefit obligations and there will be no new participants in the future. As a result of amending and restating the Plans to implement the freeze, the Company recognized a curtailment gain of $10,983,000 in fiscal 2007 in its consolidated financial statements which was recorded within general and administrative: other. Additionally, the Company terminated the LCE post-retirement plan as of December 31, 2006 and merged this plan into the AMCE post-retirement plan as of January 1, 2007.

The measurement date used to determine pension and other postretirement benefits is April 1, 2010.

NOTE 11—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

In developing the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets at each measurement date, the Company considers the plan assets' historical returns, asset allocations, and the anticipated future economic environment and long-term performance of the asset classes. While appropriate consideration is given to recent and historical investment performance, the assumption represents management's best estimate of the long-term prospective return.

For measurement purposes, the annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits assumed for 2010 was 8.0% for medical and 4.0% for dental and vision. The rates were assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0% for medical in 2017 and remain at 4.0% for dental. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of April 1, 2010 by $2,204,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of postretirement expense for fiscal 2010 by $147,000. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement obligation for fiscal 2010 by $1,879,000 and the aggregate service and interest cost components of postretirement expense for fiscal 2010 by $125,000. The Company's retiree health plan provides a benefit to its retirees that is at least actuarially equivalent to the benefit provided by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 ("Medicare Part D").

Cash Flows

The Company expects to contribute $2,559,000 to the pension plans during fiscal 2011.

The following table provides the benefits expected to be paid (inclusive of benefits attributable to estimated future employee service) in each of the next five fiscal years, and in the aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter:

Pension Plan Assets

For its defined benefit pension plan investments, the Company employs a long-term risk-controlled approach using diversified investment options with minimal exposure to volatile investment options like derivatives. The Company uses a diversified allocation of equity, debt, and real estate exposures that are customized to the Plan's cash flow benefit needs. The target allocations for plan assets are 45 percent equity securities, 30 percent debt or fixed securities and 25 percent real estate and other.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors a voluntary 401(k) savings plan covering employees age 21 or older who have completed at least 1,000 hours of service in their first twelve months of employment, or in a calendar year thereafter, and who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Effective for fiscal year 2010, in the Company's 401(k) Savings Plan the Company matched 50% of each eligible employee's elective contributions up to 6% of the employee's eligible compensation. Previously, the Company matched 100% of elective contributions up to 5% of employee compensation. The Company's expense under the 401(k) savings plan was $1,654,000, $2,374,000, and $2,476,000 for the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively.

NOTE 11—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

Union-Sponsored Plans

Certain theatre employees are covered by union-sponsored pension and health and welfare plans. Company contributions into these plans are determined in accordance with provisions of negotiated labor contracts. Contributions aggregated $501,000, $559,000, and $1,004,000, for the periods ended April 1, 2010, April 2, 2009 and April 3, 2008, respectively. On November 7, 2008, the Company received notice of a written demand for payment of a partial withdrawal liability assessment from a collectively bargained multiemployer pension plan that covers certain of its unionized theatre employees. Based on a payment schedule that the Company received from this plan in December 2008, the Company began making quarterly payments on January 1, 2009 related to the $5,279,000 in partial withdrawal liability. In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company made a complete withdrawal from the plan which triggered an additional liability of $1,422,000 which was assessed by the plan on April 19, 2010. However, the Company also estimates that approximately $2,839,000 of the total liability was discharged in bankruptcy by companies it acquired. As of April 1, 2010, the Company has recorded a liability related to this matter in the amount of $4,016,000 and has made contributions of approximately $2,905,000. The final withdrawal liability amount may be adjusted based on a legal review of the plan's assessment, the Company's records and ensuing discussions with the plan's trustees. The Company estimates its potential complete withdrawal liability from its other multiemployer pension plans is approximately $3,000,000 to $3,500,000.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, in the normal course of business, is party to various legal actions. Except as described below, management believes that the potential exposure, if any, from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company.

United States of America v. AMC Entertainment Inc. and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. 99 01034 FMC (SHx), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). On January 29, 1999, the Department of Justice (the "Department") filed suit alleging that AMCE's stadium style theatres violated the ADA and related regulations. The Department alleged that AMCE had failed to provide persons in wheelchairs seating arrangements with lines-of-sight comparable to the general public. The Department alleged various non-line-of-sight violations as well. The Department sought declaratory and injunctive relief regarding existing and future theatres with stadium-style seating, compensatory damages in the approximate amount of $75,000 and a civil penalty of $110,000.

As to line-of-sight matters, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Justice Department as to both liability and as to the appropriate remedy. On December 5, 2008, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the trial court as to the appropriate remedy and remanded the case back to the trial court for findings consistent with its decision. AMCE and the Department are negotiating the extent of betterments related to the remaining remedies required for line-of-sight violations consistent with the Ninth Circuit's decision. The improvements will likely be made over a five-year term. Absent settlement, the case will be tried in February 2011. AMCE has recorded a liability of approximately $349,000 for estimated fines related to this matter.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

As to the non-line-of-sight aspects of the case, on January 21, 2003, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department on matters such as parking areas, signage, ramps, location of toilets, counter heights, ramp slopes, companion seating and the location and size of handrails. On December 5, 2003, the trial court entered a consent order and final judgment on non-line-of-sight issues under which AMCE agreed to remedy certain violations at its stadium-style theatres and at certain theatres it may open in the future. Currently AMCE estimates that these betterments will be required at approximately 140 stadium-style theatres. AMCE estimates that the total cost of these betterments will be approximately $54,000,000, and through April 1, 2010 AMCE has incurred approximately $33,355,000 of these costs. The estimate is based on actual costs incurred on remediation work completed to date. The actual costs of betterments may vary based on the results of surveys of the remaining theatres.

Michael Bateman v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. CV07-00171). In January 2007, a class action complaint was filed against the Company in the Central District of the United States District Court of California (the "District Court") alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACTA"). FACTA provides in part that neither expiration dates nor more than the last five numbers of a credit or debit card may be printed on receipts given to customers. FACTA imposes significant penalties upon violators where the violation is deemed to have been willful. Otherwise damages are limited to actual losses incurred by the card holder. On October 24, 2008, the District Court denied plaintiff's renewed motion for class certification. Plaintiff has appealed this decision and the case is stayed pending this appeal. The Company is currently unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.

On May 14, 2009, Harout Jarchafjian filed a similar lawsuit alleging that the Company willfully violated FACTA and seeking statutory damages, but without alleging any actual injury (Jarchafjian v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (C.D. Cal. Case No. CV09-03434). The Jarchafjian case has been deemed related to the Bateman case and is stayed pending a Ninth Circuit decision in the Bateman case. The Company believes the plaintiff's allegations in both these cases, particularly those asserting AMC's willfulness, are without merit. The Company is currently unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss related to this matter.

In addition to the cases noted above, the Company is also currently a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including concession suppliers, software technology vendors, and motion picture distributors), landlords and suppliers and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Except as described above, management believes that the ultimate outcome of such other matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.

Kerasotes Acquisition. On December 9, 2009, the Company entered into a definitve agreement with Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres, LLC ("Kerasotes") pursuant to which the Company will acquire substantially all of the assets of Kerasotes. Kerasotes operated 95 theatres and 972 screens in mid-sized, suburban and metropolitan markets, primarily in the Midwest. On May 24, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition. The purchase price for the Kerasotes theatres paid in cash at closing was $275,000,000 and is subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the Unit Purchase Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, the Company sold one of its theatres for a gain on sale of approximately $10,000,000.

NOTE 13—THEATRE AND OTHER CLOSURE AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

The Company has provided reserves for estimated losses from theatres which have been closed. As of April 1, 2010, the Company has reserved $6,694,000 for lease terminations which have either not been consummated or paid, related primarily to two theatres and vacant restaurant space. In connection with the Loews Merger, the Company accrued $4,845,000 for future lease obligations at facilities that had been closed or were duplicate facilities that were planned to be closed following the Merger. The accrual was primarily related to the New York City home office lease, which has been fully paid in fiscal 2008. The Company is obligated under long-term lease commitments with remaining terms of up to 18 years for theatres which have been closed. As of April 1, 2010, base rents aggregated approximately $831,000 annually and $8,451,000 over the remaining terms of the leases.

terminations negotiated on favorable terms for two theatres that were closed during this period. The Company did not receive cash payments in connection with the lease terminations, but recognized income from the write-off of the unamortized deferred rent liability. During the fifty-three weeks ended April 3, 2008, the Company recognized $20,970,000 of theatre and other closure income due primarily to lease terminations negotiated on favorable terms at seven of its theatres that were either closed or the lease terms were settled favorably during this period. The Company received net cash payments of $10,159,000 in connection with these seven lease terminations.

Theatre and other closure reserves for leases that have not been terminated are recorded at the present value of the future contractual commitments for the base rents, taxes and maintenance. As of April 1, 2010, the future lease obligations are discounted at annual rates ranging from 7.55% to 8.54%.

NOTE 14—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

|  | Level 1: |  | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|  | Level 2: |  | Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
|  | Level 3: |  | Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

NOTE 14—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Valuation Techniques. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are primarily money market mutual funds invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The equity securities primarily consist of mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds. The equity securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The amortized cost basis of the equity securities held as of April 1, 2010 is $2,765,000.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized in the statement of financial position, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. At April 1, 2010, the carrying amount of the Company's liabilities for corporate borrowings was approximately $1,832,854,000 and the fair value was approximately $1,891,002,000. At April 2, 2009, the carrying amount of the corporate borrowings was approximately $1,687,941,000 and the fair value was approximately $1,529,319,000. Quoted market prices were used to value publicly held corporate borrowings. The carrying value of cash and equivalents approximates fair value because of the short duration of those instruments.

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company's assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

In accordance with the provisions of the impairment of long-lived assets subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 360-10, long-lived assets held and used were written down to their fair value of $10,335,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $3,765,000, which was included in earnings for the fifty-two weeks ending April 1, 2010.

The fair value of assets is determined as either the expected selling price less selling costs (where appropriate) or the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment has been determined using similar asset sales and in some instances with the assistance of third party valuation studies. The discount rate used in determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows was based on management's expected return on assets during fiscal 2010.

operating segments was a result of the disposition of Cinemex in December 2008. Cinemex was previously reported in the International Theatrical Exhibition operating segment and accounted for a substantial majority of that segment. In addition, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company consolidated the Other operating segment with the United States and Canada Theatrical Exhibition operating segment due to a previous contribution of advertising net assets to NCM. During fiscal 2009, the United States and Canada Theatrical Exhibition operating segment was renamed the Theatrical Exhibition operating segment.

NOTE 17—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Governance Agreements

Agreements entered into by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., the Sponsors and Holdings' other stockholders (collectively, the "Governance Agreements"), provide that the Board of Directors for Parent consist of up to nine directors, two of whom are designated by JPMP, two of whom are designated by Apollo, one of whom is the Chief Executive Officer of Parent, one of whom is designated by Carlyle, one of whom is designated by Bain, one of whom is designated by Spectrum and one of whom is designated by Bain, Carlyle and Spectrum, voting together, so long as such designee was consented to by each of Bain and Carlyle. Each of the directors respectively designated by JPMP, Apollo, Carlyle, Bain and Spectrum have three votes on all matters placed before the Board of Directors of Holdings and AMCE and the Chief Executive Officer of Parent and the director designated by Carlyle, Bain and Spectrum voting together have one vote each. The number of directors respectively designated by the Sponsors is to be reduced upon a decrease in such Sponsors' ownership in Parent below certain thresholds.

The Voting Agreement among Parent and the pre-existing stockholders of Holdings provides that, until the fifth anniversary of the Mergers (the "Blockout Period"), the former continuing stockholders of Holdings (other than Apollo and JPMP) would generally vote their voting shares of capital stock of Parent in favor of any matter in proportion to the shares of capital stock of Apollo and JPMP voted in favor of such matter, except in certain specified instances. The Voting Agreement among Parent and the former stockholders of LCE Holdings further provides that during the Blockout Period, the former LCE Holdings stockholders would generally vote their voting shares of capital stock of Parent on any matter as directed by any two of Carlyle, Bain and Spectrum, except in certain specified instances. In addition, certain actions of Parent, including, but not limited to, change in control transactions, acquisition or disposition transactions with a value in excess of $10,000,000, the settlement of claims or litigation in excess of $2,500,000, an initial public offering of Parent, hiring or firing a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief operating officer, incurring or refinancing indebtedness in excess of $5,000,000 or engaging in new lines of business, require the approval of either (i) any three of JPMP, Apollo, Carlyle or Bain or (ii) Spectrum and (a) either JPMP or Apollo and (b) either Carlyle or Bain (the "Requisite Stockholder Majority") if at such time the Sponsors collectively held at least a majority of Parent's voting shares.

Prior to the earlier of the end of the Blockout Period and the completion of an initial public offering of the capital stock of Parent, Holdings or AMCE, the Governance Agreements prohibit the Sponsors and the other pre-existing stockholders of Holdings from transferring any of their interests in Parent, other than (i) certain permitted transfers to affiliates or to persons approved of by the Sponsors and (ii) transfers after the Blockout Period subject to the rights described below.

The Governance Agreements set forth additional transfer provisions for the Sponsors and the other pre-existing stockholders of Holdings with respect to the interests in Parent, including the following:

Right of first offer. After the Blockout Date and prior to an initial public offering, Parent and, in the event Parent does not exercise its right of first offer, each of the Sponsors and the other preexisting stockholders of Holdings, have a right of first offer to purchase (on a pro rata basis in the case of the stockholders) all or any portion of the shares of Parent that a Sponsor or other former continuing

NOTE 17—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

stockholder of Holdings was proposing to sell to a third party at the price and on the terms and conditions offered by such third party.

Drag-along rights. If, prior to an initial public offering, Sponsors constituting a Requisite Stockholder Majority propose to transfer shares of Parent to an independent third party in a bona fide arm's-length transaction or series of transactions that resulted in a sale of all or substantially all of Parent, such Sponsors may have elected to require each of the other stockholders of Holdings to transfer to such third party all of its shares at the purchase price and upon the other terms and subject to the conditions of the sale.

Tag-along rights. Subject to the right of first offer described above, if any Sponsor or other former continuing stockholder of Holdings proposes to transfer shares of Parent held by it, then such stockholder would give notice to each other stockholder, who would each have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in the proposed transfer on the terms and conditions offered by the proposed purchaser.

Participant rights. On or prior to an initial public offering, the Sponsors and the other pre-existing stockholders of Holdings have the pro rata right to subscribe to any issuance by Parent or any subsidiary of shares of its capital stock or any securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock, subject to certain exceptions.

The Governance Agreements also provide for certain registration rights in the event of an initial public offering of Parent, including the following:

Demand rights. Subject to the consent of at least two of any of JPMP, Apollo, Carlyle and Bain during the first two years following an initial public offering, each Sponsor has the right at any time following an initial public offering to make a written request to Parent for registration under the Securities Act of part or all of the registrable equity interests held by such stockholders at Parent's expense, subject to certain limitations. Subject to the same consent requirement, the other pre-existing stockholders of Holdings as a group have the right at any time following an initial public offering to make one written request to Parent for registration under the Securities Act of part or all of the registrable equity interests held by such stockholders with an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $200,000,000.

Piggyback rights. If Parent at any time proposes to register under the Securities Act any equity interests on a form and in a manner which would permit registration of the registrable equity interests held by stockholders of Parent for sale to the public under the Securities Act, Parent must give written notice of the proposed registration to each stockholder, who then have the right to request that any part of its registrable equity interests be included in such registration, subject to certain limitations.

Holdback agreements. Each stockholder agrees that it would not offer for public sale any equity interests during a period not to exceed 90 days (180 days in the case of an initial public offering) after the effective date of any registration statement filed by Parent in connection with an underwritten public offering (except as part of such underwritten registration or as otherwise permitted by such underwriters), subject to certain limitations.

NOTE 17—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

Amended and Restated Fee Agreement

In connection with the Mergers, Holdings, AMCE and the Sponsors entered into an Amended and Restated Fee Agreement, which provided for an annual management fee of $5,000,000, payable quarterly and in advance to each Sponsor, on a pro rata basis, until the twelfth anniversary from December 23, 2004, and such time as the sponsors own less than 20% in the aggregate of Parent. In addition, the fee agreement provided for reimbursements by AMCE to the Sponsors for their out-of-pocket expenses and to Holdings of up to $3,500,000 for fees payable by Holdings in any single fiscal year in order to maintain AMCE's and its corporate existence, corporate overhead expenses and salaries or other compensation of certain employees. The Amended and Restated Fee Agreement terminated on June 11, 2007, the date of the holdco merger, and was superseded by a substantially identical agreement entered into by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., Holdings, AMCE, the Sponsors and Holdings' other stockholders.

Upon the consummation of a change in control transaction or an initial public offering, each of the Sponsors will receive, in lieu of quarterly payments of the annual management fee, a fee equal to the net present value of the aggregate annual management fee that would have been payable to the Sponsors during the remainder of the term of the fee agreement (assuming a twelve year term from the date of the original fee agreement), calculated using the treasury rate having a final maturity date that is closest to the twelfth anniversary of the date of the original fee agreement date. As of April 1, 2010, the Company estimates this amount would be $29,190,000 should a change in control transaction or an IPO occur. The Company expects to record any lump sum payment to the Sponsors as a dividend.

The fee agreement also provides that AMCE will indemnify the Sponsors against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising in connection with the management services provided by the Sponsors under the fee agreement.

Parent is owned by the Sponsors, other co-investors and by certain members of management as follows: JPMP (20.839%); Apollo (20.839%); Bain Capital Partners (15.13%); The Carlyle Group (15.13%); Spectrum Equity Investors (9.79%); Weston Presidio Capital IV, L.P. and WPC Entrepreneur Fund II, L.P.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Members of
National CineMedia, LLC
Centennial, Colorado

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of National CineMedia, LLC (the "Company") as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, members' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. THE COMPANY

Description of Business

National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM LLC" or "the Company") commenced operations on April 1, 2005 and operates the largest digital in-theatre network in North America, allowing NCM LLC to distribute advertising, Fathom entertainment programming events and corporate events under long-term exhibitor services agreements ("ESAs") with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment, Inc. ("AMCE"), Regal Cinemas, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Entertainment Group ("Regal"), and Cinemark USA, Inc. ("Cinemark USA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. ("Cinemark"). AMC, Regal and Cinemark and their affiliates are referred to in this document as "founding members". NCM LLC also provides such services to certain third-party theatre circuits under "network affiliate" agreements, which expire at various dates.

At December 30, 2010, NCM LLC had 110,752,192 common membership units outstanding, of which 53,549,477 (48.3%) were owned by NCM, Inc., 21,452,792 (19.4%) were owned by Regal, 18,803,420 (17.0%) were owned by AMC, and 16,946,503 (15.3%) were owned by Cinemark. The membership units held by the founding members are exchangeable into NCM, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis. During the third quarter of 2010, AMC and Regal completed a common unit membership redemption and an underwritten public offering of an aggregate 10,955,471 shares of National CineMedia, Inc.'s ("NCM, Inc." or "managing member"), common stock (see Note 7).

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared its financial statements and related notes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

On February 13, 2007, NCM, Inc., a Company formed by NCM LLC and incorporated in the State of Delaware with the sole purpose of becoming a member and sole manager of NCM LLC, completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). The Company's business is seasonal and for this and other reasons operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the Company's full year results or future performance. As a result of the various related-party agreements discussed in Note 7, the operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred if all agreements were with non-related third parties.

Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, and equity-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts within operating activities in the statement of cash flows have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Period—The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with the fiscal year ending on the first Thursday after December 25, which, in certain years, results in a 53-week year, as was the case for fiscal year 2008.

Segment Reporting—Segments are accounted for under ASC 280 Segment Reporting. Refer to Note 14.

F-109

Table of Contents

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition—Advertising revenue is recognized in the period in which an advertising contract is fulfilled against the contracted theatre attendees. Advertising revenue is recorded net of make-good provisions to account for delivered attendance that is less than contracted attendance. When remaining delivered attendance is provided in subsequent periods, that portion of the revenue earned is recognized in that period. Deferred revenue refers to the unearned portion of advertising contracts. All deferred revenue is classified as a current liability. Fathom Events revenue is recognized in the period in which the event is held.

Barter Transactions—The Company enters into barter transactions that exchange advertising program time for products and services used principally for selling and marketing activities. The Company records barter transactions at the estimated fair value of the advertising exchanged based on fair value received for similar advertising from cash paying customers. Revenues for advertising barter transactions are recognized when advertising is provided, and products and services received are charged to expense when used. The Company limits the use of such barter transactions to items and services for which it would otherwise have paid cash. Any timing differences between the delivery of the bartered revenue and the use of the bartered expense products and services are recorded through deferred revenue. Revenue and expense from barter transactions for the year ended December 30, 2010 were $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively and were not material to the Company's statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009.

Operating Costs—Advertising related operating costs primarily include personnel and other costs related to advertising fulfillment, and to a lesser degree, production costs of non-digital advertising, and payments due to unaffiliated theatre circuits under the network affiliate agreements.

Fathom Events operating costs include equipment rental, catering, movie tickets acquired primarily from the founding members, revenue share under the amended and restated ESAs and other direct costs of the meeting or event.

Payment to the founding members of a theatre access fee is comprised of a payment per theatre attendee and a payment per digital screen, both of which escalate over time.

Network costs include personnel, satellite bandwidth, repairs, and other costs of maintaining and operating the digital network and preparing advertising and other content for transmission across the digital network. These costs are not specifically allocable between the advertising business and the Fathom Events business.

Leases—The Company leases various office facilities under operating leases with terms ranging from 3 to 15 years. The Company calculates straight-line rent expense over the initial lease term and renewals that are reasonably assured.

Advertising Costs—Costs related to advertising and other promotional expenditures are expensed as incurred. Due to the nature of the business, the Company has an insignificant amount of advertising costs included in selling and marketing costs on the statement of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—All highly liquid debt instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents and are considered available for sale securities. There are cash balances in a bank in excess of the federally insured limits or in the form of a money market demand account with a major financial institution.

Restricted Cash—At December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, other non-current assets included restricted cash of $0.3 million, which secures a letter of credit used as a lease deposit on NCM LLC's New York office.

Receivables—Bad debts are provided for using the allowance for doubtful accounts method based on historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding receivables at the end of the period. Receivables are written off when management determines amounts are uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable are uncollateralized and represent a large number of geographically dispersed debtors. At December 30, 2010, there was two advertising agency groups through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing approximately 17% and 21%, of the Company's outstanding gross receivable balance, respectively; however, none of the individual contracts related to the advertising agencies were more than 10% of advertising revenue. At December 31, 2009 there was one advertising agency group through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing approximately 19% of the Company's outstanding gross receivable balance; however, none of the individual contracts related to the advertising agency were more than 10% of advertising revenue. The collectability risk is reduced by dealing with large, national advertising agencies who have strong reputations in the advertising industry and clients with stable financial positions.

Receivables consisted of the following, in millions:

Long-lived Assets—Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization. Refer to Note 4. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently. In general, the equipment associated with the digital network that is located within the theatre is owned by the founding members, while equipment outside the theatre is owned by the Company. The Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Equipment |  | 4 - 10 years
Computer hardware and software |  | 3 - 5 years
Leasehold improvements |  | Lesser of lease term or asset life

Software and web site development costs developed or obtained for internal use are accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40 Internal Use Software and ASC Subtopic 350-50 Website Development Costs. The subtopics require the capitalization of certain costs incurred in developing or obtaining software for internal use. The majority of software costs and web site development costs,

which are included in equipment, are depreciated over three to five years. As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had a net book value of $9.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of capitalized software and web site development costs. Approximately $6.5 million, $6.7 million and $4.9 million was recorded for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively, in depreciation expense. For the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 the Company recorded $1.2 million, $1.6 million and $1.2 million in research and development expense, respectively.

Construction in progress includes costs relating to installations of equipment into affiliate theatres. Assets under construction are not depreciated until placed into service.

The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets pursuant with ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment annually. This includes determining if certain triggering events have occurred that could affect the value of an asset. Thus far, we have recorded no impairment charges related to long-lived assets.

Intangible assets—Intangible assets consist of contractual rights and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Refer to Note 5. The Company records amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the intangibles, corresponding to the term of the ESAs. During the year ended December 30, 2010, NCM LLC recorded an intangible asset of $111.5 million, which is amortized over a weighted average amortization period of 26.7 years, and a second addition of $39.8 million, which is amortized over a weighted average amortization period of 27.0 years. As of December 30, 2010, the gross carrying amount of the intangible assets is $286.0 million, with a remaining weighted average amortization period of 27.0 years.

Amounts Due to Founding Members—Amounts due to founding members in the 2010 and 2009 periods include amounts due for the theatre access fee, offset by a receivable for advertising time purchased by the founding members, as well as revenue share earned for Fathom Events plus any amounts outstanding under other contractually obligated payments. Payments to or received from the founding members against outstanding balances are made monthly.

Amounts Due to Managing Member—Amounts due to the managing member include amounts due under the NCM LLC Operating Agreement and other contractually obligated payments. Payments to or received from the managing member against outstanding balances are made periodically.

Income Taxes—As a limited liability company, NCM LLC's taxable income or loss is allocated to the founding members and managing member and, therefore, the only provision for income taxes included in the financial statements is for income-based state and local taxes.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss—Accumulated other comprehensive loss is composed of the following (in millions):

|  | Year Ended December 30, 2010 |  | Year Ended December 31, 2009 |  | Year Ended January 1, 2009 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---

Debt Issuance Costs—In relation to the issuance of long-term debt discussed in Note 8, there is a balance of $7.3 million and $9.2 million in deferred financing costs as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These debt issuance costs are being amortized over the terms of the underlying obligation and are included in interest expense. For each of the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and January 1, 2009 we amortized $1.9 million.

Other Investment—Through March 15, 2010, the Company accounted for its investment in RMG Networks, Inc., ("RMG") (formerly Danoo, Inc.) under the equity method of accounting as required by ASC 323-10 Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures ("ASC 323-10") because we exerted "significant influence" over, but did not control, the policy and decisions of RMG, due to ownership of approximately 24% of the issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of RMG. During the first quarter of 2010, RMG sold additional common stock to other third party investors for cash, which reduced the Company's ownership in RMG resulting in cost method accounting. At December 30, 2010, the Company's ownership in RMG was approximately 19% of the issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of RMG. The investment in RMG and the Company's share of its operating results through December 30, 2010 are not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations and as a result summarized financial information is not presented. Refer to Note 11 and 12 for additional discussion.

Share-Based Compensation—Stock-based employee compensation is accounted for at fair value under ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. Refer to Note 9.

Derivative Instruments—Derivative Instruments are accounted for under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. Refer to Note 13.

Current Liabilities—For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company presented the liability for interest rate swap agreements in a single line on its Balance Sheet in other non-current liabilities. However, after further review, the Company determined that the current portion of the liability should be reclassified and presented with total current liabilities. As a result, the Company has restated its Balance Sheet to reflect this classification. The correction has no effect on total assets, total liabilities, total equity/(deficit), the Statements of Operations, or the Cash Flows from Operations.

The following is a summary of the effects of the restatement on our Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2009:

|  | BALANCE SHEET As of December 31, 2009 |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | As Previously Reported |  | As Restated |
Current portion of interest rate swap agreements |  |  | 0.0 |  | $ | 24.4 |
| Total current liabilities |  | $ | 90.1 |  | $ | 114.5 |
Interest rate swap agreements |  | $ | 54.6 |  | $ | 30.2 |
| Total non-current liabilities |  | $ | 853.9 |  | $ | 829.5 |

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which revises the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance and changes the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element revenue arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting, modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated

The pronouncement is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the pronouncement to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which requires additional disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (4) the transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2010 with no impact on its financial statements.

The NCM LLC Operating Agreement provides a redemption right of the founding members to exchange common membership units of NCM LLC for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis, or at the Company's option, a cash payment equal to the market price of one share of NCM, Inc. common stock.

The Company contributed an aggregate 10,955,471 shares of its common stock to NCM LLC in exchange for a like number of newly issued common membership units. NCM LLC then distributed the shares of common stock to AMC and Regal to complete the redemptions. Such redemptions took place immediately prior to the closing of the underwritten public offering and the subsequent closing of the overallotment option; in each case the NCM, Inc. common stock was sold at a price to the public of $16.00 per share by AMC and Regal. NCM, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from the sale of its common stock by AMC and Regal.

In exchange for the services, NCM LLC reimburses NCM, Inc. for compensation and other expenses of the officers and for certain out-of-pocket costs.

NCM LLC also provides administrative and support services to NCM, Inc. such as office facilities, equipment, supplies, payroll and accounting and financial reporting at no charge. Based on the limited activities of NCM, Inc. as a standalone entity, the Company does not believe such unreimbursed costs are significant. The management services agreement also provides that NCM LLC employees may participate in the NCM, Inc. equity incentive plan (see Note 9).

The interest rate swaps hedged $550.0 million of the $725.0 million term loan at a fixed interest rate of 6.734% while the unhedged portion was at an interest rate of 2.06%. The weighted-average interest rate on the unhedged revolver was 2.01%. Commencing with the fourth fiscal quarter in fiscal year 2009, the applicable margin for the revolving credit facility is determined quarterly and is subject to adjustment based upon a net senior secured leverage ratio for NCM LLC and its subsidiaries (the ratio of secured funded debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, over a non-GAAP measure defined in the credit agreement). The senior secured credit facility also contains a number of covenants and financial ratio requirements, with which the Company was in compliance at December 30, 2010, including the net senior secured leverage ratio. There are no distribution restrictions as long as the Company is in compliance with its debt covenants. As of December 30, 2010, its net senior secured leverage ratio was 3.5 times the covenant. The debt covenants also require 50% of the term loan, or $362.5 million to be hedged at a fixed rate. As of December 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $550 million or 76% hedged. Of the $550.0 million that is hedged, $137.5 million was transferred from Lehman Brothers Special Financing ("LBSF") to Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays") in February 2010. See Note 13 for an additional discussion of the interest rate swaps.

NCM LLC, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") and Barclays entered into an agreement in March 2010 whereby Lehman resigned its agency function and restructured its outstanding $14.0 million revolving credit loan. NCM LLC and the remaining revolving credit lenders consented to the appointment of Barclays as successor administrative agent and swing line lender under the credit agreement. Additionally, the revolving credit commitments of Lehman were reduced to zero and the aggregate revolving credit commitments were reduced to $66.0 million. The $14.0 million outstanding principal of the revolving credit loans held by Lehman will not be repaid in connection with any future prepayments of revolving credit loans, but rather Lehman's share of the revolving credit facility will be paid in full by NCM LLC, along with any accrued and unpaid fees and interest, on the revolving credit termination date, February 13, 2013.

8. BORROWINGS (Continued)

On March 19, 2009, the Company gave an $8.5 million note payable to Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch ("Credit Suisse") with no stated interest to settle the $10.0 million contingent put obligation and to acquire the $20.7 million outstanding principal balance of debt of IdeaCast, Inc. ("IdeaCast") (together with all accrued interest and other lender costs required to be reimbursed by IdeaCast). Quarterly payments to Credit Suisse began on April 15, 2009 and will continue through January 15, 2011. At issuance the Company recorded the note at a present value of $7.0 million. At December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $1.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of the balance was recorded in current liabilities. Interest on the note is accreted at the Company's estimated incremental cost of debt based on then current market indicators over the term of the loan to interest expense. The amount of interest expense recognized on the note for the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

At the date of the IPO, the Company adopted the NCM, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. As of December 30, 2010, there were 7,076,000 shares of common stock available for issuance or delivery under the Equity Incentive Plan of which 1,690,186 remain available for grants as of December 30, 2010. Options awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of NCM, Inc. common stock on the date of the grant. Upon vesting of the awards, NCM LLC will issue common membership units to the Company equal to the number of shares of the Company's common stock represented by such awards. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and therefore only recognizes stock-based compensation cost for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. Options and non-vested restricted stock vest annually over a three or five-year period and options have either 10-year or 15-year contractual terms. A forfeiture rate of 5% was estimated to reflect the potential separation of employees.

The recognized expense, including equity based compensation costs of NCM, Inc. employees, is included in the operating results of NCM LLC. The Company recognized $7.0 million, $3.1 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively, of share-based compensation expense for these options and $0.1 million were capitalized during each of the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. As of December 30, 2010, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options was approximately $9.1 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.70 years.

The weighted average grant date fair value of granted options was $4.84, $2.17 and $3.77 for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. The intrinsic

value of options exercised during the year was $2.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and January 1, 2009, respectively. During the year ended December 30, 2010 there was $4.9 million of cash received on options exercised and an immaterial amount for the year December 31, 2009. The total fair value of awards vested during the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $3.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires that the Company make estimates of various factors. The following assumptions were used in the valuation of the options:

|  | Fiscal 2010 |  | Fiscal 2009 |  | Fiscal 2008
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Expected life of options |  | 6.0 years |  | 6.5 years |  | 6.5 years
Risk free interest rate |  | 1.38% to 3.76% |  | 2.23% to 3.70% |  | 3.74% to 4.09%
Expected volatility |  | 39% |  | 30% |  | 30%
Dividend yield |  | 3.8% to 4.0% |  | 3% |  | 3%

The participants are entitled to cash dividends from NCM, Inc. and to vote their respective shares, although the sale and transfer of such shares is prohibited and the shares are subject to forfeiture during the restricted period. Additionally the accrued cash dividends for the 2009 and 2010 grants are subject to forfeiture during the restricted period. The shares are also subject to the terms and provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan. Non-vested stock awards granted in 2010 include performance vesting conditions, which permit vesting to the extent that NCM, Inc. achieves specified non-GAAP targets at the end of the three-year period. Non-vested stock granted to non-employee directors vest after one year. Compensation cost is valued based on the market price on the grant date and is expensed over the vesting period.

The following table represents the shares of non-vested stock:

|  | Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant- Date Fair Value |

Operating Commitments

The Company leases office facilities for its headquarters in Centennial, Colorado and also in various cities for its sales and marketing personnel as sales offices. The Company has no capital lease obligations. Total lease expense for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, was $2.2 million, $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Contingent Put Obligation

On April 29, 2008, NCM LLC, IdeaCast, the IdeaCast lender and certain of its stockholders agreed to a financial restructuring of IdeaCast. Among other things, the restructuring resulted in the lender being granted an option to "put," or require NCM LLC to purchase, up to $10 million of the funded convertible debt at par, on or after December 31, 2010 through March 31, 2011. The put was accounted for under ASC 460-10 Guarantees. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that the initial investment and call right in IdeaCast were other-than-temporarily impaired due to IdeaCast's defaults on its senior debt and liquidity issues and that the put obligation was probable. The Company estimated a liability at January 1, 2009 of $4.5 million, which represented the excess of the estimated probable loss on the put (net of estimated recoveries from the net assets of IdeaCast that serve as collateral for the convertible debt) obligation over the unamortized ASC 460-10 liability. The total amount of the impairment and related loss recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $11.5 million.

On March 19, 2009, NCM LLC, IdeaCast and IdeaCast's lender agreed to certain transactions with respect to the IdeaCast Credit Agreement. Among other things, these agreements resulted in (i) the termination of the Put and the Call; (ii) the transfer, sale and assignment by IdeaCast's lender to NCM LLC of all of its right, title and interest under the Credit Agreement, including without limitation the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement; (iii) the resignation of IdeaCast's lender, and the appointment of NCM LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit Agreement; and (iv) the delivery by NCM LLC to IdeaCast's lender of a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $8.5 million payable through January 2011. On June 16, 2009, NCM LLC's interest in the Credit Agreement was assigned to NCM Out-Of-Home, LLC ("OOH"), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCM LLC. OOH was also appointed as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit Agreement. On June 16, 2009, OOH, as IdeaCast's senior secured lender, foreclosed on

substantially all of the assets of IdeaCast, consisting of certain tangible and intangible assets (primarily equipment, business processes and contracts with health clubs and programming partners). The assets were valued at approximately $8.2 million. On June 29, 2009, NCM LLC transferred its ownership interest in OOH to RMG, a digital advertising company, in exchange for approximately 24% of the equity (excluding out-of-the-money warrants) of RMG on a fully diluted basis through a combination of convertible preferred stock, common stock and common stock warrants (refer to Note 2-Other Investment). The Company's investment in RMG was valued at the fair value of the assets contributed.

Minimum Revenue Guarantees

As part of the network affiliate agreements entered in the ordinary course of business under which the Company sells advertising for display in various theatre chains other than those of the founding members of NCM LLC, the Company has agreed to certain minimum revenue guarantees. If an affiliate achieves the attendance set forth in their respective agreement, the Company has guaranteed minimum revenue for the network affiliate per attendee if such amount paid under the revenue share arrangement is less than its guaranteed amount. The amount and term varies for each network affiliate, but initial terms range from two to five years, prior to any renewal periods. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make pursuant to the minimum revenue guarantees is $14.0 million over the remaining terms of the network affiliate agreements. As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company had no liabilities recorded for these obligations as such guarantees are less than the expected share of revenue paid to the affiliate.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and other notes payable as reported in the Company's balance sheets approximate their fair value due to their short maturity. The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to its floating-rate terms. The carrying amounts and fair values of interest rate swap agreements are the same since the Company accounts for these instruments at fair value. The Company has estimated the fair value of its term loan based on an average of three non-binding broker quotes and the Company's analysis to be $713.3 million and $688.8 million at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The carrying value of the term loan was $725.0 million as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The fair value of the investment in RMG networks has not been estimated at December 30, 2010 as there were no monetary equity events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment, and as it is not practicable to do so because RMG is not a publicly traded company. The carrying amount of the Company's investment was $6.7 million and $7.4 million as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Refer to Note 2—Other Investment.

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

NCM LLC has interest rate swap agreements with four counterparties that, at their inception, qualified for and were designated as cash flow hedges against interest rate exposure on $550.0 million of the variable rate debt obligations under the senior secured credit facility. The interest rate swap agreements have the effect of converting a portion of the Company's variable rate debt to a fixed rate of 6.734%. All interest rate swaps were entered into for risk management purposes. The Company has no derivatives for other purposes.

Effective February 8, 2010, NCM LLC entered into a novation agreement with LBSF and Barclays whereby LBSF transferred to Barclays all the rights, liabilities, duties and obligations of NCM LLC's interest rate swap agreement with LBSF with identical terms. NCM LLC accepted Barclays as its sole counterparty with respect to the new agreement. The term runs until February 13, 2015, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Subject to the terms of the new agreement, NCM LLC or Barclays will make payments at specified intervals based on the variance between LIBOR and a fixed rate of 4.984% on a notional amount of $137.5 million. NCM LLC effectively pays a rate of 6.734% on this notional amount inclusive of the 1.75% margin currently required by NCM LLC's credit agreement. The agreement with Barclays is secured by the assets of NCM LLC on a pari passu basis with the credit agreement and the other interest rates swaps that were entered into by NCM LLC. In consideration of LBSF entering into the transfer, NCM LLC agreed to pay to LBSF the full amount of interest rate swap payments withheld since LBSF's default, aggregating $7.0 million, and an immaterial amount of penalty interest.

Cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued on September 15, 2008 due to the event of default created by the bankruptcy of Lehman and the inability of the Company to continue to demonstrate the swap would be effective. The Company did not elect cash flow hedge accounting and the interest rate swap with Barclays is recorded at fair value with any change in the fair value recorded in the statement of operations. There was a $4.0 million increase, $8.3 million decrease and $13.8 million increase in the fair value of the liability for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively, which the Company recorded as a component of interest expense and other, net.

In accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the net derivative loss as of September 14, 2008 related to the discontinued cash flow hedge with LBSF shall continue to be reported in

accumulated other comprehensive income unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. Accordingly, the net derivative loss is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the interest rate swap through February 13, 2015. The amount amortized during the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 were $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The Company estimates approximately $1.3 million will be amortized to interest expense and other, net in the next 12 months.

Both at inception and on an on-going basis the Company performs an effectiveness test using the hypothetical derivative method. The fair values of the interest rate swaps with the counterparties other than Barclays (representing notional amounts of $412.5 million associated with a like amount of the variable rate debt) are recorded on the Company's balance sheet as a liability with the change in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income since the instruments were determined to be perfectly effective at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. There were no amounts reclassified into current earnings due to ineffectiveness during the periods presented other than as described herein.

The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap is based on dealer quotes, and represents an estimate of the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration various factors, including current interest rates and the forward yield curve for 3-month LIBOR.

As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the estimated fair value and line item caption of derivative instruments recorded were as follows (in millions):

14. SEGMENT REPORTING

Advertising is the principal business activity of the Company and is the Company's reportable segment under the requirements of ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Advertising revenue accounts for 88.7%, 88.0% and 89.4%, of revenue for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. Fathom Consumer Events and Fathom Business Events are operating segments under ASC 280, but do not meet the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting. The following table presents revenues less directly identifiable expenses to arrive at operating income net of direct expenses for the advertising reportable segment, the combined Fathom Events operating segments, and network, administrative and unallocated costs. Management does not evaluate its segments on a fully allocated cost basis. Therefore, the measure of segment operating income net of direct expenses shown below is not prepared on the same basis as operating income in the statement of operations and the results below are not indicative of what segment results of operations would have been had it been operated on a fully allocated cost basis. Management cautions that it would be inappropriate to assume that unallocated operating costs are incurred proportional to segment revenue or any directly identifiable segment expenses. Unallocated operating costs consist primarily of network costs, general and administrative costs and other unallocated costs including depreciation and amortization. Management does not track segment assets and, therefore, segment asset information is not presented.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Member and Board of Directors of
Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc. (the "Theatres") as of December 31, 2009, and 2008, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Theatres' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Theatres' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, these financial statements pertain to the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc. by Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC (the "Parent"). The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the records maintained by the Parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of the operations if the Theatres had been operated as an unaffiliated company. Portions of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses represent allocations made from the Parent to the Theatres that are applicable to the Parent as a whole.

Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and
For the Years Ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007

1. THE THEATRES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal business of the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc (such theatres are hereafter referred to as the "Theatres") is the operation of motion picture theatres. Box office admission and concession sales are the Theatres' primary sources of revenue.

The Theatres' operations are primarily located throughout the Midwest in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, and Ohio. Over the years, the Theatres have grown through the construction and acquisition of theatres, most recently in the states of Colorado, Wisconsin, and California.

The Theatres are not a separate legal entity, and were operated by Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC (the "Parent") during the periods presented. On December 9, 2009, the Parent agreed to sell these theatre assets comprising a substantial majority of the Parent's theatres and transfer related liabilities to AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMC") (the "Sale"); this sale was closed on May 24, 2010. Further discussion of the Sale is included in Note 2.

Management's Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Preopening Expenses—Costs incurred prior to opening of a new theatre are expensed as incurred. These costs include advertising and other start-up costs incurred prior to the operation of new theatres and are reported in their respective lines in the statements of income.

Accounts Receivable—An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided only if specific accounts are considered uncollectible. If items become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made. Management determined no allowance was required as of December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Inventories—Inventories consist primarily of concession items and are carried at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment, consisting of buildings, land and leasehold improvements, and equipment, are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed using both straight-line and accelerated methods. Land improvements are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 39 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or economic life of the asset. Equipment is depreciated over an estimated useful life of five to seven years. Interest capitalized on Theatre-managed construction projects totaled $0 and $336,858 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Leases—A significant portion of the Theatres' operations are conducted in premises occupied under lease agreements with initial base terms ranging generally from 15 to 20 years, with certain leases containing options to extend for up to an additional 20 years.

of the renewal options in its leases is reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements and therefore considers the initial base term the lease term. The leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals, contingent escalating rentals based on the consumer price index with a contractual floor and ceiling, and contingent rentals, including those that are based on revenues with a guaranteed minimum. As of December 31, 2009, all leases qualified as operating leases.

The Theatres record rent expense for their operating leases on a straight-line basis over the base term of the lease agreements, commencing with the date the Theatres have control and access to leased premises.

Occasionally, the Theatres are responsible for the construction of theatres subject to operating leases and receive reimbursement from the property developer for construction costs incurred. The Theatres evaluate these leases to determine who the accounting owner is during the construction period. For leases where the Theatres are determined to be the accounting owner during construction, they account for receipt of developer reimbursements under prevailing sale-leaseback accounting guidance. The Theatres have constructed four theatres subject to the circumstances described for which they have determined certain terms of the leases to be prohibited forms of continuing involvement. As a result, the Theatres have recorded developer reimbursement financing obligations of $17,046,863 and $14,849,587 in their statements of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for operating leases related to these projects. The current portion of developer reimbursement financing obligations was $262,588 and $56,221, respectively, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Business Combinations—The Theatres account for their acquisitions of theatres using the purchase method. The purchase method requires that the Theatres estimate the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities acquired. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment, including valuation assessments.

Goodwill—The Theatres evaluate their goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The evaluation is performed using a two-step process. In the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a second step must be completed in order to determine the amount of the goodwill impairment that should be recorded. In the second step, the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill is determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets and liabilities other than goodwill (including any unrecognized intangible assets) in a manner similar to a business combination. The resulting implied fair value of the goodwill that results from the application of this second step is then compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference if the implied goodwill is less than the carrying amount.

The assumptions used in the estimate of fair value are generally consistent with the past performance of a reporting unit and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions that are used in current operating plans. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions. The Theatres recorded no goodwill impairment during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, or 2007.

1. THE THEATRES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Balance—January 1, 2008 |  | $ | 12,810,797 |
| Purchase price adjustment—KCC acquisition |  |  | (817,305 | )
| Finalization of purchase accounting |  |  | 2,335,779 |
| Star acquisition |  |  | 9,823,793 |
Balance—December 31, 2008 |  |  | 24,153,064 |
Balance—December 31, 2009 |  | $ | 24,153,064 |

Intangible Assets—As of December 31, 2009, definite-lived intangible assets were $25,963,411, net of accumulated amortization of $4,186,285. As of December 31, 2008, definite-lived intangible assets were $27,408,299, net of accumulated amortization of $2,741,397. These intangible assets consisted primarily of the intangible value associated with the operating leases that were acquired in the acquisitions discussed in Note 5. Amortization expense was $1,444,888, $1,902,252, and $839,145 for fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, and is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the statements of income.

Amortization expense is expected to be as follows:

Years Ending December 31 |  | Amount |
--- | --- | --- | ---
2010 |  | $ | 1,514,507 |
2011 |  |  | 1,514,507 |
2012 |  |  | 1,514,507 |
2013 |  |  | 1,514,507 |
2014 |  |  | 1,514,507 |
Thereafter |  |  | 18,390,876 |
Total |  | $ | 25,963,411 |

Other Assets—As of December 31, 2009, debt issuance costs were $1,858,065, net of accumulated amortization of $1,393,590. As of December 31, 2008, other assets include debt issuance costs $698,253, net of accumulated amortization of $644,899. Costs resulting from the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt agreement. Amortization expense of $1,017,322, $531,677, and $922,721 for fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, is recorded in interest expense in the statements of income.

Long-Lived Assets—The Theatres review the carrying value of their long-lived assets, including property and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the assets, less estimated future cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized. No impairment loss was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.

1. THE THEATRES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition—Revenues include box office receipts, sales of concessions merchandise, advertising revenues, and other miscellaneous revenues, primarily fees for theatre rentals. The Theatres recognize box office and concession revenues at the point of sale and other revenues when earned.

The Theatres sell gift certificates and gift cards both in the theatres and online. These receipts are excluded from revenues until the date the gift certificates and gift cards are redeemed. The Theatres recognize gift certificate breakage when its future performance obligation is determined to be remote. Gift certificate breakage was $777,298, $355,118, and $2,817,092, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007. Gift certificate breakage is recorded as a component of other operating revenue in the statements of income.

Operating Expenses—Film rental costs are recorded as revenue is earned based upon the terms of the respective film license arrangements. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Other operating expenses are principally comprised of payroll and benefits costs, utilities, maintenance, repairs, and other general operating expenses. The balance of operating expenses incurred by the corporate function is classified as general and administrative expenses. Theatre occupancy costs include rent, property taxes, and other occupancy costs.

Vendor Allowances—The Theatres receive volume-based purchase rebates from vendors. These rebates are recorded as a reduction of inventories upon receipt and recognized as a reduction of the cost of concession sales when merchandise is sold.

Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income equals net income for all periods presented.

2. THE SALE

As mentioned in Note 1, on December 9, 2009, the Parent agreed to sell certain theatre assets comprising a substantial majority of the Parent's theatres and transfer related liabilities to AMC; this sale closed on May 24, 2010. These theatres were sold for $275,000,000 in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments finalized on the closing date.

The financial statements pertain to these theatres sold to AMC by the Parent. The financial statements have been prepared from the records maintained by the Parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of the operations if these theatres had been operated as an unaffiliated company. The majority of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses presented in these financial statements are specifically-identifiable to the theatres sold by the Parent to AMC. Portions of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses represent allocations made from the Parent to these theatres that are applicable to the Parent as a whole where specific-identification of these balances to each theatre is not practicable. These allocations primarily relate to certain receivables, payables, accrued expenses, debt and operating expenses generated or incurred at the Parent and not directly related to an individual theatre; these allocations have been made based on the proportion of the number of theatre screens within the theatres sold to AMC as a percentage of the total number of theatre screens owned by the Parent prior to the Sale. In the opinion of management, these allocations are reasonable for the purposes of presenting the financial statements of the Theatres.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernment entities. Generally, ASC 105 is not expected to change accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Theatres adopted ASC 105 for the year ended December 31, 2009, and any references to authoritative accounting literatures in the financial statements are referenced in accordance with the ASC, unless the literature has not been codified.

In December 2007, the FASB revised ASC 805 (formerly FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations). ASC 805 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The provisions of ASC 805 are applied prospectively from the date of adoption, except for adjustments to a previously acquired entity's deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position balances occurring outside the measurement period, which are recorded as a component of income tax expense in the period of adjustment, rather than goodwill. The Theatres adopted ASC 805 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact the Theatres' financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

4. INVESTMENT IN KCC

On January 15, 2004, the Parent made a $4,740,145 minority investment in a new company, KCC. The Parent made this investment in conjunction with Providence Growth Entrepreneurs Fund, L.P.; Providence Growth Investors, L.P.; and the management team of KCC. Prior to the March 2, 2007 acquisition of the controlling interest in KCC (as discussed in Note 5), the Theatres owned 23.685% of KCC and did not have managerial control. Accordingly, this investment had been accounted for under the equity method and the financial statements included the Theatres' share of the results of operations from January 15, 2004 through March 1, 2007. For the period from January 1, 2007 to March 1, 2007, KCC had operating revenues of $6,185,285, operating loss of $(201,044), and a net loss of $(840,998).

5. ACQUISITIONS

On January 31, 2008, the Parent acquired the assets, property, and operations of six theatres located in Iowa and Wisconsin from AGT Enterprises, Inc., and Star-Iowa, LLC (the "Star acquisition") for $75,517,400. The Star acquisition added 81 screens to the Theatres' circuit. The purpose of the transaction was to increase the scale of the Theatres, diversify and expand the Theatres' customer base, and strengthen the Theatres' competitive position in the industry. In conjunction with this transaction, the Theatres consummated two separate sale-leaseback transactions. The proceeds of the sale-leaseback transactions were used to finance the Star acquisition, pay down debt, and pay taxes and fees associated with the deal. The results of theatre operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On March 2, 2007, the Parent acquired the remaining 76.315% interest they did not previously own in their investment in KCC for a purchase price of $52,754,184, net of cash acquired ($424,773). The purchase price was subject to the terms of an escrow arrangement that was finalized in 2008 with a payment of $817,305 to the Parent, which reduced the total purchase price for the acquisition to

5. ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

$51,936,879. This acquisition added 11 theatres and 125 screens to the overall circuit and gave the Theatres a presence in the state of Colorado. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and additional debt. The results of theatre operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On March 2, 2007, the Parent also acquired the assets, properties, and operations of two existing theatres near Chicago, Illinois for a purchase price of $12,652,954. The acquisition of these theatres added 28 screens to the overall circuit and enhanced the Theatres' presence in the Chicago area market. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and additional debt. The results of theatre operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The Theatres have allocated the purchase price to the theatre assets acquired at estimated fair values. The excess of fair value of the net assets acquired compared to the amount paid as of the acquisition date has been reflected as goodwill. The Theatres completed the purchase price allocations for the 2007 acquisitions during 2008, reflecting finalization of consideration paid in the KCC acquisition (pursuant to the terms of the escrow arrangement in the transaction) and the finalization of other allocations for both transactions based on all available evidence subsequent to the transaction. The purchase price allocation was completed for the Star acquisition during 2008. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired at the dates of acquisition:

|  | 2008 Acquisition of Star Cinemas |  | 2007 Acquisition of 76.315% Interest in KCC |  | 2007 Acquisition of Chicago-Area Theatres |

5. ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

As a result of the 2007 acquisition of 76.315% interest in KCC included above, the previously owned 23.685% interest in KCC was consolidated into the Theatres' financial statements on a historical-cost basis. The amounts consolidated were as follows: cash of $131,834; other current assets of $175,056; property and equipment, net of $12,336,370; goodwill of $1,596,089; other assets of $161,670; current liabilities of $841,524; long-term debt of $8,870,033; and other long-term liabilities of $486,364.

6. DEBT AND DEVELOPER REIMBURSEMENT FINANCING OBLIGATIONS

These financial statements include an allocation of the amounts outstanding on the Parent's bank debt, and also the related debt issuance costs. The Parent's outstanding debt facilities consisted of a revolving line of credit ("Revolver") and Term B notes. These outstanding Parent debt balances were secured by substantially all of the Parent's assets, which included the assets of the Theatres. The Parent's bank debt was repaid in full as of the closing date of the Sale.

Allocated debt and developer reimbursement financing obligations at December 31, 2009 and 2008 consisted of the following:

|  | 2009 |  | 2008 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Debt to Parent |  | $ | 25,514,734 |  | $ | 95,203,621 |
Developer reimbursement financing obligations |  |  | 17,046,863 |  |  | 14,849,587 |
| Total debt to Parent and developer reimbursement financing obligations |  |  | 42,561,597 |  |  | 110,053,208 |
Less current portion |  |  | (928,201 | ) |  | (40,721,833 | )
Long-term debt to Parent and developer reimbursement financing obligations |  | $ | 41,633,396 |  | $ | 69,331,375 |

The contractual terms of the Parent's Term B debt required quarterly installments of $166,403 from December 31, 2009, until December 31, 2010. Three quarterly installments of $15,974,687 were required from March 31, 2011, with the final payment due October 28, 2011. Draws and repayment on the revolving line are at the discretion of the Parent, and the Parent uses distributions from the Theatres to fund any debt repayments. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the aggregate available borrowing capacity on this facility was $50,000,000 and $27,300,000, respectively.

Interest on the Parent's Term B and Revolver debt was at variable rates based on the prime rate or the Eurodollar rate, adjusted for the Parent's consolidated economic performance, as specified in the agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2009, interest rates ranged from 4.81% to 5.56%. During the year ended December 31, 2008, interest rates ranged from 2.5% to 7.75%.

The carrying value of the Parent's long-term debt approximated its fair value as of December 31, 2009, since the Parent's long-term debt has interest rates that fluctuate based on published market rates. The fair value of the Parent's long-term debt was $104,947,507 as of December 31, 2008. The fair value of the Parent's long-term debt as of December 31, 2008, was determined as the net present value

of the future cash flows at the prevailing balance sheet rate, discounted at the renegotiated market rate received in the amendment to the Parent's credit facility.

7. LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Theatres conduct their operations in facilities and using equipment leased under noncancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2029. At the end of the lease terms, most of the leases are renewable at the fair rental value for periods of 5 to 20 years. The rental payments for some facilities are based on a minimum annual rent plus a percentage of receipts in excess of a specified amount. Refer to Note 1 for discussion of the Theatres' financing leases.

Rental expense for noncancelable operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, consists of the following:

8. INCOME TAXES

The Parent is a limited liability company, and is not subject to the payment of federal or state income taxes, as the components of its income and expenses flow directly to the Parent's members. Accordingly, the Parent is not liable for any federal or state income tax, except for minor taxes imposed by some of the states in which the Parent does business. These financial statements include an allocation of these taxes incurred and paid by the Parent on behalf of the Theatres. These taxes were $(3,882), $14,404, and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

9. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Theatres have contributed to the Parent's 401(k) profit-sharing plan for all managers, assistant managers, trainees, and administrative employees who have reached the age of 21. Employees may contribute up to 60% of their pay, not exceeding $16,500 ($22,000 for employees over age 50). Following one year of employment, the Theatres will match 100% of the first 3% of contribution and 50% on the next 2% of contribution. Matching contributions are immediately vested.

The Theatres fund the matching contributions as they accrue. These contributions were $372,328, $394,353, and $371,970 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

10. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Theatres are not a separate legal entity, and were operated by the Parent during the periods presented. As discussed in Note 2, the financial statements have been prepared from the records maintained by the Parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of the operations if these theatres had been operated as an unaffiliated company. Portions of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses represent allocations made from the Parent to these theatres that are applicable to the Parent as a whole. The Parent maintains and manages the cash generated by the Theatres, including the transfer of cash deposits from Theatres' operations to the Parent's bank accounts; these funds are used to finance the operations and capital expenditures of the Theatres. The outstanding amounts owed by the Parent to the Theatres are presented as "Due from Parent" in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Total rental expense payable to related-parties of the Theatres amounted to $14,400 for the each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007. Amounts payable to related-parties at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, were $183,553, $169,153, and $154,753, respectively.

Amounts paid to an advertising agency owned by a close relative of one of the Parent's shareholders were $82,632, $31,414, and $0 for 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

11. SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

On January 31, 2008, the Theatres entered into two separate sale-leaseback transactions, whereby the Theatres sold eight of their fee-owned theatres for a sale price of $97,560,246, net of closing costs of $430,317. The Theatres leased back the sold theatres subject to 20-year triple net operating leases (with renewal terms of either three five-year options or one 10-year option and one five-year option). The gain of $19,017,834 has been deferred and is being recognized ratably over the life of the leases.

11. SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

The proceeds from the transaction were used to pay down debt, with the remaining proceeds used to pay taxes and fees associated with the deal. The balance was retained to fund future capital expenditures.

On September 19, 2007, the Theatres entered into a sale-leaseback transaction, whereby the Theatres sold 11 of their fee-owned theatres with a book value of $78,112,826 for $99,720,206, net of closing costs of $638,171 and leased back the same buildings for a period of 20 years with three five-year options for each of the sold properties. The resulting leases are classified as being accounted for as operating leases. The gain of $25,594,136 has been deferred and is being recognized ratably over the life of the leases. Losses of $3,986,755 were immediately recognized in earnings. The proceeds from the transaction were used to pay down debt, with the remaining proceeds used to pay an owner distribution, taxes, and fees associated with the deal. The balance was retained to fund future capital expenditures.

On September 30, 2005, the Theatres entered into a sale-leaseback transaction, whereby the Theatres sold 17 of their fee-owned theatres with a book value of $94,759,887 for $200,000,000 and leased back the same buildings for a period of 20 years with three five-year options for each of the sold properties. The resulting leases are classified as operating leases. The gain of $102,340,355 has been deferred and is being recognized ratably over the life of the leases. The proceeds from the transaction were used to pay down debt, with the remaining proceeds used to pay an owner distribution, taxes, and fees associated with the deal. The balance was retained to fund future capital expenditures.

Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The principal business of the Kerasotes Showplace Theatres Sold to AMC Entertainment Inc (such theatres are hereafter referred to as the "Theatres") is the operation of motion picture theatres. Box office admission and concession sales are the Theatres' primary sources of revenue. The Theatres' operations are primarily located throughout the Midwest in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, and Ohio. Over the years, the Theatres have grown through the construction and acquisition of theatres, most recently in the states of Colorado, Wisconsin, and California.

The Theatres are not a separate legal entity, and were operated by Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC (the "Parent") during the periods presented. On December 9, 2009, the Parent agreed to sell these theatre assets comprising a substantial majority of the Parent's theatres and transfer related liabilities to AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMC") (the "Sale"); this sale was closed on May 24, 2010. Further discussion of the Sale is included in Note 2.

These unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 270, Interim Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These interim financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2009.

2. THE SALE

As mentioned in Note 1, on December 9, 2009, the Parent agreed to sell certain theatre assets comprising a substantial majority of the Parent's theatres and transfer-related liabilities to AMC; this sale closed on May 24, 2010. These theatres were sold for $275,000,000 in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments finalized on the closing date.

The unaudited condensed financial statements pertain to these theatres sold to AMC by the Parent. The financial statements have been prepared from the records maintained by the Parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of the operations if these theatres had been operated as an unaffiliated company. The majority of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses presented in these financial statements are specifically-identifiable to the theatres sold by the Parent to AMC. Portions of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses represent allocations made from the Parent to these theatres that are applicable to the Parent as a whole where specific-identification of these balances to each theatre is not practicable. These allocations primarily relate to certain receivables, payables, accrued expenses, debt, and operating expenses generated or incurred at the Parent and not directly related to an individual theatre; these allocations have been made based on the proportion of the number of theatre screens within the theatres sold to AMC as a percentage of the total number of theatre screens owned by the Parent prior to the Sale. In the opinion of management, these allocations are reasonable for the purposes of presenting the unaudited condensed interim financial information of the Theatres.

As of and for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

3. DEBT

These financial statements include an allocation of the amounts outstanding on the Parent's bank debt, and also the related debt issuance costs. The Parent's outstanding debt facilities consisted of a revolving line of credit ("Revolver") and Term B notes. These outstanding Parent debt balances were secured by substantially all of the Parent's assets, which included the assets of the Theatres. The Parent's bank debt was repaid in full as of the closing date of the Sale.

4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Theatres are not a separate legal entity, and were operated by the Parent during the periods presented. As discussed in Note 2, the financial statements have been prepared from the records maintained by the Parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of the operations if these theatres had been operated as an unaffiliated company. Portions of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses represent allocations made from the Parent to these theatres that are applicable to the Parent as a whole. The Parent maintains and manages the cash generated by the Theatres, including the transfer of cash deposits from Theatres' operations to the Parent's bank accounts; these funds are used to finance the operations and capital expenditures of the Theatres. The outstanding amounts owed by the Parent to the Theatres are presented as "Due from Parent" in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Total rental expense payable to related-parties of the Theatres amounted to $3,600 and $3,600 for the quarterly-periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amounts payable to related-parties at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $187,153 and $183,553, respectively.

Amounts paid to an advertising agency owned by a close relative of one of the Parent's shareholders were $0 and $22,087 for the quarterly-periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
