AMC Theaters Plans to Extend Century-Old Popcorn Business ; currently handles up to 50 tons of popcorn per day. The company claims they are the largest supplier of fresh popcorn in the United States and will capitalize on the popularity of their popcorn that extends beyond movie theaters.

“The announcement that AMC will become a competitor in the multi-billion dollar popcorn market is so natural and logical that one wonders why the idea has not been tried before,” said Adam Aron, Chairman of the Board and CEO of AMC.

This new popcorn sales strategy may be a “natural” move, but the pandemic could also motivate a way to diversify the business.
