The stock is up 1.5% over the past week, while returns are down 26.9% over the past month and down 15.5% year to date. Over the past year, the share price has declined 54.8%, and over three and five years the share price has fallen very sharply.<\/p>\n<p>This new use of Fathom Entertainment reflects AMC leaning further into content categories that can appeal to specific audiences and fill more showtime slots. For readers, the key question is how consistently AMC can use this kind of specialty programming to support attendance and potentially smooth results between major blockbuster releases.<\/p>\n<p>Stay updated on the most important news stories for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywall.st\/stocks\/us\/media\/nyse-amc\/amc-entertainment-holdings\/valuation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-vars-link-type=\"news_stay_updated_cta\" class=\"company-report-links\">AMC Entertainment Holdings<\/a> by adding it to your <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/features\/stock-watchlist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-vars-link-type=\"news_stay_updated_cta\" class=\"company-report-links\">watchlist<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/features\/portfolio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-vars-link-type=\"news_stay_updated_cta\" class=\"company-report-links\">portfolio<\/a>.
