BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	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 lnc. ("OpCo") and its subsidiaries, (collectively with AMCE, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" or "AMC"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres primarily located in the United States. AMCE is a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), a Chinese private conglomerate.
	As of March 31, 2015, Wanda owned approximately 77.85% of Holdings' outstanding common stock and 91.34% of the combined voting power of Holdings' outstanding common stock and has the power to control Holdings' affairs and policies, including with respect to the election of directors (and, through the election of directors, the appointment of management), entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of the Company's assets and other extraordinary transactions.
	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) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Principles of Consolidation:    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMCE and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The March 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet data does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 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. 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 income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2015. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.
	Other Income:    The following table sets forth the components of other income:

INVESTMENTS																			NOTE 7—INVESTMENTS
	NOTE 2—INVESTMENTS																		Investments in non-consolidated affiliates and certain other investments accounted for under the equity method generally include all entities in which the Company or its subsidiaries have significant influence, but not more than 50% voting control. Investments in non-consolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2014, include a 14.96% interest in National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM"), a 32% interest in AC JV, LLC, owner of Fathom Events, a 50% interest in two U.S. motion picture theatres and one IMAX screen, a 29% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, LLC ("DCIP"), a 15.45% interest in Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition, LLC ("DCDC") and a 50% interest in Open Road Releasing, LLC, operator of Open Road Films. Indebtedness held by equity method investees is non-recourse to the Company.
	Investments in non-consolidated affiliates and certain other investments accounted for under the equity method generally include all entities in which the Company or its subsidiaries have significant influence, but not more than 50% voting control, and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other long-term assets. Investments in non-consolidated affiliates as of March 31, 2015, include a 15.05% interest in National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM" or "NCM LLC"), a 29% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, LLC ("DCIP"), a 50% interest in Open Road Releasing, LLC, operator of Open Road Films, LLC ("Open Road Films"), a 32% interest in AC JV, LLC ("AC JV"), owner of Fathom Events, and a 50% interest in two U.S. motion picture theatres and one IMAX screen. Indebtedness held by equity method investees is non-recourse to the Company.																		At December 31, 2014, the Company's recorded investments are less than its proportional ownership of the underlying equity in these entities by approximately $13,257,000, excluding NCM.
	RealD Inc. Common Stock.    The Company holds an investment in RealD Inc. common stock, which is accounted for as an equity security, available for sale, and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other long-term assets at fair value (Level 1).																		RealD Inc. Common Stock
	Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Non-Consolidated Entities																		The Company holds an investment in RealD Inc. common stock, which is accounted for as an equity security, available for sale, and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other long-term assets at fair value (Level 1). Under its RealD Inc. motion picture license agreement, the Company received a ten-year option to purchase 1,222,780 shares of RealD Inc. common stock at approximately $0.00667 per share. The stock options vested in 3 tranches upon the achievement of screen installation targets and were valued at the underlying stock price at the date of vesting. At the dates of exercise, the fair market value of the RealD Inc. common stock was recorded in other long-term assets with an offsetting entry recorded to other long-term liabilities as a deferred lease incentive. The unamortized deferred lease incentive was recorded at fair value as a result of the Merger, and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining contract life of approximately 7 years as of December 31, 2014, to reduce RealD license expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations under operating expense. For further information, see Note 2—Merger. As of December 31, 2014, the unamortized deferred lease incentive balance included in other long-term liabilities was $16,047,000. Fair value adjustments of RealD Inc. common stock are recorded to other long-term assets with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income.
	Aggregated condensed financial information of the Company's significant non-consolidated equity method investments for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2014 is shown below:																		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. The Company, Regal and Cinemark are known as "Founding Members" of NCM. 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.
			Three Months Ended																As of December 31, 2014, the Company owns a 14.96% interest in NCM. As a Founding Member, the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the governance of NCM, and, accordingly accounts for its investment following the equity method. All of the Company's NCM membership units are redeemable for, at the option of NCM, Inc., cash or shares of common stock of NCM, Inc. on a share-for-share basis. The fair market value of the units in National CineMedia, LLC was approximately $275,825,000 based on a price for shares of NCM, Inc. on December 31, 2014 of $14.37 per share.
	(In thousands)		March 31,			March 31,													Pursuant to the Company's 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.
			2015			2014													As a result of the Rave theatre acquisitions in December 2012, the Company received 1,728,988 common membership units of NCM, effective March 14, 2013 from the annual Common Unit Adjustment. The Company recorded the additional units received at a fair value of $26,315,000, based on a price for shares of NCM, Inc. on March 14, 2013, of $15.22 per share, and as a new investment (Tranche 2 Investment), with an offsetting adjustment to the Exhibitor Services Agreement to be amortized to revenues over the remaining term of the ESA following the units-of-revenue method. The Rave theatre screens were under a contract with another screen advertising provider and the Company will continue to receive its share of the advertising revenues. During the remainder of the Rave screen contract, the Company will pay a screen integration fee to NCM in an amount that approximates the EBITDA that NCM would have generated if it had been able to sell advertising on the Rave theatre screens. In March 2014, the Company received 141,731 membership units recorded at a fair value of $2,137,000 ($15.08 per unit) with a corresponding credit to the ESA to be amortized following the units-of-revenue method over the remaining term of the ESA.

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 NCM intangible assets. 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. Prior to the date of the Merger on August 30, 2012, distributions received under the tax receivable agreement from NCM, Inc. were recorded as additional proceeds received related to the Company's Tranche 1 or 2 Investments and were recorded in earnings in a similar fashion to the proceeds received from the NCM, Inc. IPO and the receipt of excess cash distributions. Following the date of the Merger, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $20,900,000 as the fair value of the tax receivable agreement. The tax receivable agreement intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis against investment income over the remaining life of the ESA. Cash receipts from NCM, Inc. for the tax receivable agreement are recorded to the investment expense (income) account.
	Operating costs and expenses			138,897			110,160												During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, payments received of $8,730,000, $3,677,000, $0, and $0, related to the NCM tax receivable agreement were recorded in investment expense (income), net of related amortization, respectively, for the NCM tax receivable agreement intangible asset.
	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​											Due to the capital transactions following the NCM, Inc. IPO and the quarterly cash distributions paid by NCM to the members, the recorded membership equity in NCM is a deficit. The Company's recorded investment in NCM was adjusted to fair value at the date of the Merger. As a result, the Company's recorded investment in NCM exceeds its proportional ownership in the equity of NCM by approximately $735,795,000 as of December 31, 2014.

Those provisions are now contained in the Amended and Restated Digital Programming Exhibitor Services Agreements (the "Digital ESAs") that were entered into on December 26, 2013 by NCM and each of the Founding Members. These Digital ESAs were then assigned by NCM to AC JV as part of the Fathom spin-off. There were no significant operations from the closing date until December 31, 2013.

Holdings' Board of Directors and Compensation Committee approved a modification to the performance target of the original PSU grant, which resulted in re-measurement of the fair value of the PSU awards as of September 15, 2014.

Merger

All of the stock options and restricted stock interests under both the amended and restated 2004 Stock Option Plan and the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan were cancelled, upon the change of control as a result of the Merger, and holders received payments aggregating approximately $7,035,000. The Company had previously recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3,858,000 related to these stock options and restricted stock interests. The Company did not recognize an expense for the remaining $3,177,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense. The Company's accounting policy for any cost triggered by the consummation of the Merger was to recognize the cost when the Merger was consummated. Accordingly, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock interests has not been recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Predecessor period since that statement depicts the results of operations just prior to consummation of the transaction. In addition, since the Successor period reflects the effects of push-down accounting, these costs have also not been recorded as an expense in the Successor period. However, the costs were reflected in the purchase accounting adjustments which were applied in arriving at the opening balances of the Successor. See Note 2—Merger for additional information regarding the settlement of stock options and restricted stock interests.

For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.
	The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 15, 2014 was 39.0%. The Company's tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes.

	-1	Primarily relates to amounts resulting from the Company's tax sharing arrangement, changes in deferred tax assets and associated valuation allowance that are not related to income statement activity as well as amounts charged to other comprehensive income.
	The Company's federal income tax loss carryforward of $649,782,000 will begin to expire in 2016 and will completely expire in 2034 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 $409,654,000, which may be used over various periods ranging from 1 to 20 years.
	From 2008 to 2012, the Company's predecessor entity generated significant net deferred tax assets primarily from debt carrying costs and asset impairments combined with reduced operating profitability. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $181,782,000 and $206,921,000, respectively. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is "more likely than not" that some portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods. The Company conducts its evaluation by considering all available positive and negative evidence. This evaluation considers, among other factors, historical operating results, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and the outlooks for the U.S. motion picture and broader economy. Based on the Company's evaluation through December 31, 2014, the Company continued to reserve a portion of its net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their realization and dependence upon future taxable income.
	Consistent with the above process, the Company evaluated the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013, and determined that the valuation allowance against its federal deferred tax assets and all of its state deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income was no longer appropriate. Accordingly, the Company reversed $265,600,000 of valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2013. This reversal is reflected as a non-cash income tax benefit recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	The Company conducted its evaluation by considering all available positive and negative evidence. The principal positive evidence that led to the reversal of the valuation allowance included: (1) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies; (2) a successful public offering of Holdings' common stock during December 2013; (3) the Company's emergence from a three-year cumulative loss in March 2014; (4) the significant positive income generated during 2013; (5) the Company's forecasted future profitability; and (6) improvement in the Company's financial position, including over $500,000,000 of cash on hand at December 31, 2013.
	As described above, the Company has identified a prudent and feasible tax planning strategy which involves the conversion of NCM units into NCM, Inc. common stock that, if executed, would generate significant taxable income. The conversion is within the control of the Company and the Company intends to execute the conversion if it becomes necessary to prevent its net operating loss carryforward from expiring unrealized. In addition, AMCE utilized a portion of proceeds from the public offering of Holdings common stock along with cash generated from an offering of 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 to purchase approximately 77.33% of its 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019, which lowered the amount of indebtedness and lower overall borrowing costs for the Company. These subsequent events also were additional positive evidence considered by management.
	The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon an estimate of future results. Differences between estimated and actual results could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, its financial position and the ability to fully realize its deferred tax assets over time. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the realization of deferred tax assets over time. If future results are significantly different from the Company's estimates and judgments, the Company may be required to record a valuation allowance against some or all of its deferred tax assets prospectively.
	A reconciliation of the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:

	Balance at end of period		$	30.5		$	27.4		$	21.9				$	22.4
	The Company's effective tax rate is not expected to be significantly impacted by the ultimate resolution of the uncertain tax positions.
	The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, 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 applicable to 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.

The Company also offers eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan. Certain employees are eligible for subsidized postretirement medical benefits.

The eligibility for these benefits was based upon a participant's age and service as of January 1, 2009. The Company also sponsors a postretirement deferred compensation plan.													On December 31, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved revisions to the Company's Postretirement Medical and Life Insurance Plan effective April 1, 2014 and the changes were communicated to the plan participants. As a result of these revisions, the Company recorded a prior service credit of approximately $15,197,000 through other comprehensive income to be amortized over nine years starting in calendar 2014, based on expected future service of the remaining participants. See Note 21—Subsequent Events for information regarding the resolution to terminate the plan, which was adopted by the Compensation Committee and the Company's Board of Directors on January 12, 2015.
	On January 12, 2015, the Compensation Committee and all of the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. adopted resolutions to terminate the AMC Postretirement Medical Plan with an effective date of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company notified eligible associates that their retiree medical coverage under the plan will terminate after March 31, 2015. Payments to eligible associates were approximately $4,300,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded net periodic benefit credits including curtailment gains, settlement gains, amortization of unrecognized prior service credits and amortization of actuarial gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the termination and settlement of the plan during the three months ended March 31, 2015.													As a result of the Merger and the application of "push down" accounting, the benefit plans reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger date. At August 31, 2012, the Successor balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income was reset to zero.
	Net periodic benefit cost (credit) recognized for the plans during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2014 consists of the following:													The measurement dates used to determine pension and other postretirement benefits were December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and August 30, 2012.

													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.
													At the measurement date of December 31, 2014, the Company selected the new RP-2014 Mortality Tables to measure benefit obligations. As a result of using the updated mortality assumptions, the pension and postretirement medical liabilities increased by approximately $6,658,000.
													For measurement purposes, the annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits assumed for 2014 was 7.0% for medical. The rates were assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0% for medical in 2019. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2014 by $60,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of postretirement expense for calendar year 2014 by $2,000. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement obligation for calendar year 2014 by $88,000 and the aggregate service and interest cost components of postretirement expense for calendar year 2014 by $4,000.
													Cash Flows
													The Company does not expect to contribute to the pension plans during the calendar year 2015.
													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 years thereafter:

													Years 2020-2024			29,648			1,745
													Pension Plan Assets
													The Company's investment objectives for its defined benefit pension plan investments are: (1) to preserve the real value of its principal; (2) to maximize a real long-term return with respect to the plan assets consistent with minimizing risk; (3) to achieve and maintain adequate asset coverage for accrued benefits under the plan; and (4) to maintain sufficient liquidity for payment of the plan obligations and expenses. The Company uses a diversified allocation of equity, debt, commodity and real estate exposures that are customized to the Plan's cash flow benefit needs. The target allocations for plan assets are as follows:
													Asset Category		Target
															Allocation
													Fixed(1)			15	%
													Equity Securities—U.S.			26	%
													Equity Securities—International			14	%
													Collective trust fund			25	%
													Private Real Estate			15	%
													Commodities broad basket			5	%
																100	%
													-1	Includes U.S. Treasury Securities and Bond market fund.
													Valuation Techniques.    The fair values classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy were determined using quoted market prices from actively traded markets. The fair values classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy included pooled separate accounts and collective trust funds, which valuations were based on market prices for the underlying instruments that were observable in the market or could be derived by observable market data from independent external valuation information.

													Defined Contribution Plan
													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. Under the Company's 401(k) Savings Plan, the Company matches 100% of each eligible employee's elective contributions up to 3% and 50% of contributions up to 5% of the employee's eligible compensation. The Company's expense under the 401(k) savings plan was $2,696,000, $2,817,000, $1,182,000, and $1,108,000, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively.
													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 $207,000, $265,000, $80,000, and $109,000, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively.
													As of both December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's liability related to the collectively bargained multiemployer pension plan withdrawals was immaterial.

	NOTE 10—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-05, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)—Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement ("ASU 2015-05"), which provides guidance to customers when a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract and expense the costs as incurred. ASU 2015-05 will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The standard permits the use of either a prospective or retrospective transition method. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-05 as of the beginning of 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adopting ASU 2015-05 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)—Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this standard. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-03 as of the beginning of 2016 and will change the presentation of the debt issuance costs in the Consolidated Balance Sheets by reclassifying the amount from other long-term assets to corporate borrowings.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810)—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"), which provides guidance on evaluating whether a reporting entity should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities. Further, the amendments eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, as well as affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and the standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments using a modified retrospective approach or a full retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adopting ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), ("ASU 2014-12"). This update is intended to resolve the diverse accounting treatment of share-based awards that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to apply the amendments prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date and expects to adopt ASU 2014-12 as of the beginning of 2016. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2014-12 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet selected a transition method.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, ("ASU 2014-08"). This amendment changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and includes enhanced disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the amendment, only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 as of the beginning of 2015 and the adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

	Mar. 31, 2015	Dec. 31, 2014
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Use of Estimates		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) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation		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 income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. As of December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company managed its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.
	Principles of Consolidation:    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMCE and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The March 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet data does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 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. 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 income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2015. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.

AMC's investment in 12,906,740 common membership units (Predecessor Tranche 1 Investment) was carried at zero cost through the date of the Merger. As of the date of the Merger, the Company's investment in NCM consisted of a single investment tranche (Tranche 1 Investment) of 17,323,782 membership units recorded at fair value (Level 1). As a result of the Rave theatre acquisitions in December of 2012, and as provided under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, the Company received 1,728,988 additional NCM common membership units in 2013 valued at $26,315,000 and is recorded in a second tranche, (Tranche 2 Investment).

																			-2	Represents the unamortized portion of the ESA with NCM. Such amounts are being amortized to other theatre revenues over the remainder of the 30 year term of the ESA ending in 2036, using a units-of-revenue method, as described in ASC 470-10-35 (formerly EITF 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues).

																			-4	Non-cash gains were recorded in 2013 to adjust the Company's investment balance due to NCM's issuance of 8,688,078 common membership units to other founding members, at a price per share in excess of the Company's average carrying amount per share.
																			-5	Certain differences between the Company's carrying value and the Company's share of NCM's membership equity have been identified and are amortized to equity in (earnings) losses in non-consolidated entities over the respective lives of the assets and liabilities.
																			-6	On December 26, 2013, NCM spun-off its Fathom Events business to a newly formed limited liability company, AC JV, LLC which is owned 32% by each founding member and 4% by NCM. In consideration for the sale, each of the three founding members issued promissory notes of approximately $8,333,000 to NCM. The Company's share of the gain recorded by NCM, as a result of the spin-off, has been excluded from equity in earnings and has been applied as a reduction in the carrying value of AC JV, LLC investment.

THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	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. ("OpCo") and its subsidiaries, (collectively with AMCE, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" or "AMC"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres primarily located in the United States. AMCE is a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), a Chinese private conglomerate.
	As of December 31, 2014, Wanda owns approximately 77.86% of Holdings' outstanding common stock and 91.34% of the combined voting power of Holdings' outstanding common stock and has the power to control Holdings' affairs and policies, including with respect to the election of directors (and, through the election of directors, the appointment of management), entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of the Company's assets and other extraordinary transactions.
	Initial Public Offering of Holdings:    On December 23, 2013, Holdings completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 18,421,053 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $18.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 2,631,579 shares of Class A common stock. As a result, the total IPO size was 21,052,632 shares of Class A common stock and the net proceeds to Holdings were approximately $355,299,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The net IPO proceeds of approximately $355,299,000, were contributed by Holdings to AMCE.
	Wanda Merger:    Prior to the IPO, Wanda acquired Holdings, on August 30, 2012, through a merger between Holdings and Wanda Film Exhibition Co. Ltd. ("Merger Subsidiary"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda, whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Holdings with Holdings continuing as the surviving corporation and as a then wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda (the "Merger"). A change of control of the Company occurred pursuant to the Merger. Prior to the Merger, Holdings was owned by J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC and certain related investment funds, Apollo Management, L.P. and certain related investment funds, affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, The Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Investors ("Spectrum") (collectively the "Sponsors"). The Merger consideration totaled $701,811,000, with $700,000,000 invested by Wanda and $1,811,000 invested by members of management. The estimated transaction value was approximately $2,748,018,000. Wanda acquired cash, corporate borrowings and capital and financing lease obligations in connection with the Merger. Funding for the Merger consideration was obtained by Merger Subsidiary pursuant to bank borrowings and cash contributed by Wanda.
	In connection with the change of control due to the Merger, the Company's assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value on the closing date of the Merger by application of "push down" accounting. As a result of the application of "push down" accounting in connection with the Merger, the Company's financial statement presentations herein distinguish between a predecessor period, ("Predecessor"), for periods prior to the Merger and a successor period, ("Successor"), for periods subsequent to the Merger. The Successor applied "push down" accounting and its financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger date, August 30, 2012. The consolidated financial statements presented herein are those of Successor from its inception on August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2014, and those of Predecessor for all periods prior to the Merger date. As a result of the application of "push down" accounting at the time of the Merger, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on different bases and are, therefore, not comparable. See Note 2—Merger for additional information regarding the Merger.
	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) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket income. 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 income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. As of December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company managed its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.
	Fiscal Year:    On November 15, 2012, the Company changed its fiscal year to a calendar year ending on December 31st of each year. Prior to the change, the Company had a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Thursday closest to the last day of March. The consolidated financial statements include the transition period of March 30, 2012 through December 31, 2012 ("Transition Period").
	Discontinued Operations:    The results of operations for the Company's discontinued operations have been eliminated from the Company's continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 4—Discontinued Operations for further information.
	Revenues:    Revenues are recognized when admissions and food and beverage sales are received at the theatres and are reported net of sales tax. 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 income from non-redemption is recorded. The Company recognizes income from non-redeemed or partially redeemed gift cards using the Proportional Method where it applies a non-redemption rate for its five gift card sales channels which ranges from 14% to 23% of the current month sales and the Company recognizes that total amount of income for that current month's sales as income over the next 24 months in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions. The Company has determined its non-redeemed rates and redemption patterns using data accumulated over ten years on a company-wide basis. Income for non-redeemed packaged tickets continues to be recognized as the redemption of these items is determined to be remote, that is if a ticket has not been used within 18 months after being purchased. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, the Company recognized $21,347,000, $19,510,000, $3,483,000, and $7,776,000 of income, respectively, related to the derecognition of gift card liabilities, which was recorded in other theatre revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, the Company recognized $11,710,000, $0, $0, and $4,818,000 of income, respectively, related to the derecognition of package ticket liabilities, which was recorded in other theatre revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of fair value accounting due to the Merger, the Company did not recognize any income on packaged tickets until 18 months after the date of the Merger.
	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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company recorded film payables of $95,847,000 and $149,378,000, respectively, which are included in accounts payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Food and Beverage Costs:    The Company records payments from vendors as a reduction of food and beverage costs when earned.
	Screen Advertising:    On March 29, 2005, the Company and Regal Entertainment Group ("Regal") combined their respective cinema screen advertising businesses into a joint venture company called National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM") and on July 15, 2005, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. ("Cinemark") joined NCM. The Company, Regal and Cinemark are known as the "Founding Members." NCM engages in the marketing and sale of cinema advertising and promotions products, business communications and training services. The Company records its share of on-screen advertising revenues generated by NCM in other theatre revenues.
	Customer Frequency Program:    On April 1, 2011, the Company fully launched AMC Stubs, a customer frequency program, which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions. Rewards must be redeemed no later than 90 days from the date of issuance. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Rewards not redeemed within 90 days are forfeited and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. Progress rewards (member expenditures toward earned rewards) for expired membership are forfeited upon expiration of the membership and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. The program's annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.
	Advertising Costs:    The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and does not have any direct-response advertising recorded as assets. Advertising costs were $10,317,000, $9,684,000, $4,137,000, and $3,603,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively, and are recorded in operating expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Cash and Equivalents:    All highly liquid debt instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.
	Intangible Assets:    Intangible assets are recorded at cost or fair value, in the case of intangible assets resulting from the Merger and acquisitions, and are comprised of amounts assigned to theatre leases acquired under favorable terms, management contracts, a contract with an equity method investee, and a non-compete agreement, each of which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets, and trademark and trade names, which are considered indefinite lived intangible assets and therefore are not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually.
	The Company first assesses the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the fair vale of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. There were no intangible asset impairment charges incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012.
	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. Equity earnings and losses are recorded when the Company's ownership interest provides the Company with significant influence. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-30-35-3, which prescribes the use of the equity method for investments where the Company has significant influence. The Company classifies gains and losses on sales of and changes of interest in equity method investments within equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities or in separate line items on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations when material, and classifies gains and losses on sales of investments or impairments accounted for using the cost method in investment income. Gains and losses on cash sales are recorded using the weighted average cost of all interests in the investments. Gains and losses related to non-cash negative common unit adjustments are recorded using the weighted average cost of those units in NCM. See Note 7—Investments for further discussion of the Company's investments in NCM. As of December 31, 2014, the Company holds equity method investments comprised of a 14.96% interest in NCM, a joint venture that markets and sells cinema advertising and promotions; a 32% interest in AC JV, LLC ("AC JV"), a joint venture that owns Fathom Events offering alternative content for motion picture screens; a 29% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC ("DCIP"), a joint venture charged with implementing digital cinema in the Company's theatres; a 50% ownership interest in two U.S. motion picture theatres and one IMAX screen; and a 50% ownership interest in Open Road Releasing, LLC, operator of Open Road Films, LLC ("Open Road Films"), a motion picture distribution company.
	The Company's investment in RealD Inc. is an available-for-sale marketable equity security and is carried at fair value (Level 1). Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 7—Investments for further discussion of the Company's investment in RealD Inc.
	Goodwill:    Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets related to the Merger and subsequent 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 $2,291,943,000 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company evaluates goodwill and its trademark and trade names for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth 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.
	The Company performed its annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of calendar 2014 and the fourth quarter of calendar 2013, and reached a determination that there was no goodwill or trademark and trade name impairment. According to ASC 350-20, the Company has an option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. During the fourth quarter of calendar 2014 and the fourth quarter of calendar 2013, the Company assessed qualitative factors and reached a determination that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Company's reporting unit is less than its carrying value, and therefore, no impairment charge was incurred.
	Other Long-term Assets:    Other long-term assets are comprised principally of investments in equity method investees and capitalized computer software, which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. See Note 8—Supplemental Balance Sheet Information.
	Accounts Payable:    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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $43,692,000 and $52,093,000, respectively.
	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 records rent expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the initial base lease term 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 840-10-25. 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 corresponds 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 it is required to account for these projects as sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company has recorded financing lease obligations for failed sale leaseback transactions of $80,645,000 and $85,902,000 in its Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these types of projects as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 net book value of the property. Gains on sale and leaseback transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining lease term.
	Impairment of Long-lived Assets:    The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles, investments in non-consolidated equity method investees, 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 impairment analysis during the last quarter of the year. 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 for 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, in some instances with the assistance of third party valuation studies and using management judgment.
	There is considerable management judgment necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows and fair values of the Company's 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 16—Fair Value Measurements.
	Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are included in the following captions:

	During calendar 2014, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $3,149,000 on 8 theatres with 94 screens, which was related to property, net. During calendar 2013, the Company recognized non-cash impairment losses of $1,370,000 related to a marketable equity security when it was determined that its decline in value was other than temporary. There were no impairments during the period August 31, through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012
	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. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, except those intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, are included in net earnings (loss). If the Company substantially liquidates its investment in a foreign entity, any gain or loss on currency translation balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized as part of a gain or loss on disposition.
	Income and Operating 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 asset and 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 statement of operations effect is generally derived from changes in deferred income taxes on the balance sheet. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company reversed $265,600,000 ($3.47 per share) of valuation allowance which increased its net earnings.
	Holdings and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and combined income tax returns in certain state jurisdictions. Income taxes are allocated based on separate Company computations of income or loss. Tax sharing arrangements are in place and utilized when tax benefits from affiliates in the consolidated group are used to offset what would otherwise be taxable income generated by Holdings or another affiliate.
	Casualty Insurance:    The Company is self-insured for general liability up to $1,000,000 per occurrence and carries a $500,000 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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had recorded casualty insurance reserves of $17,197,000 and $16,549,000, respectively, net of estimated insurance recoveries. The Company recorded expenses related to general liability and workers compensation claims of $16,329,000, $16,332,000, $3,913,000, and $5,732,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively.

Policy for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:    The Company considers the amount recorded for corporate borrowings issued or acquired at a premium above the stated principal balance to be part of the amount borrowed and classifies the related cash inflows and outflows up to but not exceeding the borrowed amount as financing activities in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For amounts borrowed in excess of the stated principal amount, a portion of the semi-annual coupon payment is considered to be a repayment of the amount borrowed and the remaining portion of the semi-annual coupon payment is an interest payment flowing through operating activities based on the level yield to maturity of the debt.
New Accounting Pronouncements:    In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810)—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"), which provides guidance on evaluating whether a reporting entity should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities. Further, the amendments eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, as well as affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments using a modified retrospective approach or a full retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adopting ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), ("ASU 2014-12"). This update is intended to resolve the diverse accounting treatment of share-based awards that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to apply the amendments prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date and expects to adopt ASU 2014-12 as of the beginning of 2016. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2014-12 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet selected a transition method.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, ("ASU 2014-08"). This amendment changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and includes enhanced disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the amendment, only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-08 as of the beginning of 2015 and it does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2014-08 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, ("ASU 2013-05"). This amendment clarifies the applicable guidance for the release of cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. When an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, the entity is required to apply the guidance in ASC 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net earnings only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2013-05 as of the beginning of 2014 and the adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

MERGER	NOTE 2—MERGER
	Holdings and Wanda, a Chinese private conglomerate, completed a Merger on August 30, 2012 in which Wanda indirectly acquired all of the then outstanding capital stock of Holdings. Holdings merged with Merger Subsidiary, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda, whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Holdings with Holdings continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Wanda. The Merger consideration totaled $701,811,000, with $700,000,000 invested by Wanda and $1,811,000 invested by members of management, for which 66,252,109 shares of Holdings' Class A common stock and 173,147 shares of Holdings' Class N common stock were issued, respectively. The investment amount and price per share paid by members of management was determined pursuant to Management Subscription Agreements negotiated in connection with the Merger. Pursuant to such agreements, as a retention incentive certain key members of management were required to reinvest 50% of the after tax amount they received with respect to equity awards outstanding at the time of the Merger at a price per share equal to that received for such equity awards. The approximately one percent differential in the per share price paid by Wanda and members of management represents the dilutive effect from settlement of outstanding management equity awards in connection with the Merger. Wanda also acquired cash, corporate borrowings and capital and financing lease obligations in connection with the Merger as described below. See Note 1—The Company and Significant Accounting Policies for information regarding the completed IPO of Holdings on December 23, 2013.
	In connection with the Merger agreement, $35,000,000 of consideration otherwise payable to the equity holders was deposited into an Indemnity Escrow Fund and $2,000,000 otherwise payable to the equity holders was deposited into an account designated by the Stockholder Representative. The $35,000,000 of consideration previously deposited in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, which was established to cover any indemnity claims by Wanda against the sellers (former owners) relating to their representations, warranties and covenants in connection with the Merger, was released in full on April 3, 2013. There were no indemnity claims made. Further, the $2,000,000 previously deposited in an account designated by the stockholder representative, which account was established to cover post-merger closing de minimis taxes and administrative fees and expenses, has also been released in full. On April 15, 2013, after net of such taxes, fees and expenses, $1,974,000 was released back to the selling stockholders, including members of management. The Company accounted for the entire $701,811,000 as purchase price which included the amounts placed in escrow because the Company believed any contingencies requiring escrow were remote and that the amounts would be paid out subsequently.
	As a result of the Merger and related change of control, the Company applied "push down" accounting, which required allocation of the Merger consideration to the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired in the Merger. The allocation of Merger consideration was based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including a valuation assessment performed by a third party appraiser. Final appraisal reports were received during the first quarter of 2013. The appraisal measurements included a combination of income, replacement costs and market approaches and represents managements' best estimate of fair value at August 30, 2012, the acquisition date. Management finalized its purchase price allocation in May of calendar 2013. Adjustments made during calendar 2013 increased recorded goodwill by approximately $32,000,000. Property, net and other long-term assets decreased by approximately $28,000,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, due to final determinations of fair values assigned to tangible assets. The following is a summary of the allocation of the Merger consideration:

	-1	Property, net consists of real estate, leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment recorded at fair value.
	-2	Intangible assets consist of a trademark and trade names, a non-compete agreement, management contracts, a contract with an equity method investee, and favorable leases. In general, the majority of the Company's asset value is comprised of real estate and fixed assets. Furthermore, the majority of the Company's theatres are operated via lease agreements as opposed to owning the underlying real estate. Therefore, any asset value related to leased real estate would exist only if the existing lease agreements were at below-market, or favorable, terms. Certain of the Company's leased locations were considered to be at favorable terms, and an intangible asset was ascribed for such lease agreements. However, the majority of lease agreements were considered to be at market terms. As a result, there is no owned real estate or lease intangible asset value ascribed to the majority of the Company's locations. In estimating the fair value of the favorable lease agreements, market rents were estimated for each of the Company's leased locations. If the contractual rents were considered to be below the market rent, a favorable lease agreement was valued by discounting the difference between the contractual rent and estimated market rates over the remaining lease term. Renewal options in the leases were also considered in determining the remaining lease term.
		Other intangible assets were also considered. For the Company's business, the largest intangible asset (other than favorable lease agreements) is the trade name. There was no customer relationship asset since the Company's customers represent "walk-in traffic" in which the customer would not meet the legal or separable criteria under ASC 805. The royalty savings method, a form of the income approach, was used to estimate the fair value of the trade name. In estimating the appropriate royalty rate for the trade name, the Company considered the impact and contribution that the trade name provides to the Company's operating cash flows. The Company assessed that the trade name does provide some contribution to the Company's operating cash flow, but that the attendance in the theatre is ultimately driven by factors that are not separable from goodwill such as the quality of the film product, the location of each individual theatre, the physical condition of the individual theatre, and the competitive landscape of the individual theatre.
		Other than the favorable lease agreements and the trade name, there are not many other operating intangible assets for the Company's business. However, the Company does have some contractual relationships identified as intangible assets. These contractual relationships include the non-compete agreement that was entered into as part of the Company's acquisition of Kerasotes, management agreements in which the Company manages certain theatres that are owned by a third party, and the NCM tax receivable agreement (the "NCM TRA") which represents an agreement in which the Company receives a certain portion of a tax benefit that NCM is expected to receive as part of the Company's partial ownership interest in NCM. The non-compete agreement was valued using the differential cash flow method, a form of the income approach, in which the cash flows of the Company were estimated under a scenario in which the non-compete agreement was in place and a scenario in which there was no non-compete agreement. The value of the non-compete agreement was considered to be the difference of the discounted cash flows between the two scenarios over the remaining contractual term of the agreement. The management agreements were valued using the income approach, in which the annual management fees over the life of the agreements were discounted. The NCM TRA was valued using the income approach in which the future tax benefit distribution realized from any tax amortization of intangible assets was estimated and discounted. The Company determined the value of the TRA using a discounted cash flow model. For the purposes of its analysis, the Company estimated the cash receipts from taxable transactions that were known as of the date of the Merger. The Company did not consider future transactions that NCM may undertake. The Company estimated a run-off of the intangible asset amortization benefits from the TRA due to the following transactions:
	1	ESA (Exhibitor Services Agreement)—relates to the amortization due to a modification of the initial ESA agreement.
	2	CUA (Common Unit Adjustment)—relates to NCM issuing additional common units to the founding members if there is an increase in the number of theaters under the ESA agreement. A reduction of common units is made if there are theaters removed from the ESA agreement.
	3	AMC II Benefit—relates to AMC's acquisition of Kerasotes theaters.
	4	IPO Exchange Benefit—relates to amortization from NCM's IPO in 2007.
	5	IPO II Exchange Benefit—relates to amortization step ups from NCM's secondary IPO in 2010.
	6	Capital Account Administration Allocation—relates to receipts attributable to the account administration.
		The estimated TRA receipts through 2037 are tax effected at 40%, based on a blended federal and 50-state average tax rate. The after tax receipts were discounted to a present value using a discount rate of 12.0%, based on the cost of equity of NCM, as the TRA payments only benefit the equity holders. See Note 7—Investments for additional information.
	-3	Goodwill represents the excess of the Merger consideration over the net assets recognized and represents the future expected economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill associated with the Merger is not tax deductible. Additionally, the Company expects to realize synergies and cost savings related to the Merger. Wanda is the largest theatre exhibition operator in China through its controlling ownership interest in Wanda Cinema Line. The combined ownership and scale of AMC and Wanda Cinema Line, has enabled them to enhance relationships and obtain better terms for important food and beverage, lighting and theatre supply vendors, and to expand their strategic partnership with IMAX. Wanda and AMC are also working together to offer Hollywood studios and other production companies valuable access to their industry-leading promotion and distribution platforms, with the goal of gaining greater access to content and playing a more important role in the industry going forward.
	-4	Other long-term assets primarily include equity method investments, real estate held for investment and marketable equity securities recorded at fair value.
	-5	Represents a liability related to the sales of gift cards, packaged tickets and AMC Stubs™ memberships and rewards outstanding at August 30, 2012, recorded at fair value. The Company determined fair value for the gift cards and packaged tickets by removing the amount of unrecognized breakage income that was included in the deferred revenue amounts prior to the Merger. The Company made purchase accounting adjustments to reduce its deferred revenues for packaged tickets by $24,859,000 and gift cards by $7,441,000 such that the Company would recognize a normal profit margin on its deferred revenues for the future redemptions of the sales that occurred prior to the Merger. The Company did not make any fair value adjustments to its deferred revenues related to AMC Stubs as a result of the Merger because deferred revenues for the annual memberships require performance by AMC in the future and there was not sufficient historical data to estimate amounts of future breakage for AMC Stubs rewards. AMC Stubs vested rewards expire after 90 days if unused and AMC Stubs progress rewards expire to the extent members do not renew their annual membership.
	-6	Corporate borrowings include borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility-Term Loan due 2016, the Senior Secured Credit Facility-Term Loan due 2018, the 8.75% Senior Fixed Rate Notes due 2019 and the 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020, recorded at fair value.
	-7	In connection with the completion of NCM, Inc.'s IPO on February 13, 2007, the Company entered into the Exhibitor Services Agreement that provided favorable terms to NCM in exchange for a payment of $231,308,000. The Exhibitor Services Agreement was considered an unfavorable contract to the Company based on a comparison of rates charged by NCM to third-party exhibitors. The market rate was estimated as the average rate charged by NCM to third party exhibitors. The fair value of the contract was estimated as the present value of the difference between the Company's expected payments under the contract and a market rate over the life of the Exhibitor Services Agreement. The Company's expected payments were estimated based on the Company's expected annual attendance, screen count, and advertising revenues over the life of the exhibitor Services Agreement. See Note 7—Investments for additional information.
	-8	Other long-term liabilities consist of certain theatre leases that have been identified as unfavorable, adjustments to reset deferred rent related to escalations of minimum rentals to zero, adjustments for pension and postretirement medical plan liabilities and deferred RealD Inc. lease incentive recorded at fair value. Other long-term liabilities include deferred tax liabilities resulting from indefinite temporary differences that arose primarily from the application of "push down" accounting.
	The fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows, appraisals, market comparables, and quoted market prices. Quoted market prices and observable market based inputs were used to estimate the fair value of corporate borrowings (Level 2) and the Company's investments in NCM and equity securities available for sale (Level 1).
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and the period of August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Company incurred Merger-related costs of approximately $957,000 and $2,500,000, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below sets forth the Company's historical statements of operations for the periods indicated and gives effect to the Merger as if "push down" accounting had been applied as of March 30, 2012. Such information is presented for comparative purposes to the Consolidated Statements of Operations only and does not purport to represent what the Company's results of operations would actually have been had these transactions occurred on the date indicated or to project its results of operations for any future period or date.

The Merger on August 30, 2012 triggered the payment of an aggregate of $31,462,000 for success fees to financial advisors, bond amendment consent fees, payments for cancellation of stock based compensation and management success bonuses that were contingent on the consummation of the Merger. The Company determined that its accounting policy for any cost triggered by the consummation of the Merger was to recognize the cost when the Merger was consummated. Accordingly, the contingent costs discussed below have not been recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Predecessor period since that statement depicts the results of operations just prior to consummation of the transaction. In addition, since the Successor period reflects the effects of push-down accounting, these costs have also not been recorded as an expense in the Successor period. However, the costs were reflected in the purchase accounting adjustments which were applied in arriving at the opening balances of the Successor.
The following is a summary of the contingent costs:

(a)	These represent non-exclusive arrangements made with multi-parties to provide advice and assistance related to the sale of Holdings. Payment terms were contingent upon consummation of a sale. Each agreement was entered into by Predecessor entities when the Company was under previous ownership.
(b)	Management bonuses were approved by the Predecessor Entity and previous ownership group to help incent key Holdings' management team members to use their best efforts to help facilitate the sale of the Company. Payments were contingent on the consummation of a transaction.
(c)	Consent fees were paid pursuant to a consent solicitation to amend indentures relating to the Company's outstanding notes and permit the sale of the Company without triggering change of control payments. The payments were only made upon closing the Wanda transaction.
(d)	Unrecognized stock compensation for previously existing awards that became payable due to change of control provisions and only upon consummation of a sale transaction.

ACQUISITION
ACQUISITION	NOTE 3—ACQUISITION
	In December 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of 4 theatres and 61 screens from Rave Reviews Cinemas, LLC and 6 theatres and 95 screens from Rave Digital Media, LLC, (together "Rave"). The total purchase price for the Rave theatres, paid in cash, was $88,683,000, net of cash acquired. Approximately $881,000 of the total purchase price was paid during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The Company acquired the Rave theatres based on their highly complementary geographic presence in certain key markets. Additionally, the Company expects to realize synergies and cost savings related to the Rave acquisition as a result of moving to the Company's operating practices, decreasing costs for newspaper advertising, food and beverage costs, and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate related functions and elimination of redundancies.
	The acquisitions are 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 valuation assessment. The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price:

	Other long-term liabilities(3)			(13,990	)
	Total purchase price		$	92,332
	-1	Receivables consist of trade receivables recorded at estimated fair value. The Company did not acquire any other class of receivables as a result of the acquisition of the Rave theatres.
	-2	Amounts recorded for goodwill are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
	-3	Amounts recorded for other long-term liabilities consist of unfavorable leases and long-term deferred tax liabilities.
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs for the Rave theatres of approximately $728,000, which are included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were not materially impacted by this acquisition.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	NOTE 4—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
	In August of 2012, the Company closed one theatre with 20 screens located in Canada. The Company paid the landlord $7,562,000 to terminate the lease agreement. Also, the Company sold one theatre with 12 screens located in the United Kingdom in August of 2012. The proceeds received from the sale was $395,000, and was subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the asset purchase agreement.
	In July of 2012, the Company sold six theatres with 134 screens located in Canada. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sales were approximately $1,472,000, and were subject to working capital and purchase price adjustments.
	The Company recorded gains, net of lease termination expense, on the disposition of the seven Canada theatres and the one United Kingdom theatre of approximately $39,382,000, primarily due to the write-off of long-term lease liabilities extinguished in connection with the sales and closure during the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of these theatres after the disposition. The results of operations of these theatres have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all periods reflects the classification.
	The Company calculated the gain on sale and closure of its theatres in Canada and in the UK as follows during the period of March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012:

	Total foreign currency translation adjustment, net of tax		$	11,935
	The Company operated all of the Canada and UK theatres pursuant to long-term operating lease agreements with original terms of 20 years. In connection with the sales of these theatres, the buyers assumed responsibility under the operating lease agreements and the Company was relieved of its legal obligation for future payments under the lease agreements. For the theatre that was closed, the Company paid the landlord $7,562,000 to terminate its obligation under the lease at the date of closing.
	During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company received $4,666,000 for a sales price adjustment from the sale of theatres located in Canada. The sales price adjustment was related to tax attributes of the theatres sold in Canada, which were not determinable or probable of collection at the date of the sale. The Company completed its tax returns for periods prior to the date of sale during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, at which time the buyer was able to determine amounts due pursuant to the sales price adjustment and remit payment to the Company. The Company recorded the additional gain on sale following the guidance for gain contingencies in ASC 450-30-25-1 when the gains were realizable. The earnings from discontinued operations were partially offset by income taxes, legal and professional fees and contractual repairs and maintenance expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

		$	1,247,230	$	1,179,754
	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 expected useful lives of the assets or the base terms of the corresponding lease agreements plus renewal options expected to be exercised for these leases. 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 $194,930,000, $176,998,000, $63,472,000, and $70,715,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively.

	Investments in non-consolidated affiliates and certain other investments accounted for under the equity method generally include all entities in which the Company or its subsidiaries have significant influence, but not more than 50% voting control, and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other long-term assets. Investments in non-consolidated affiliates as of March 31, 2015, include a 15.05% interest in National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM" or "NCM LLC"), a 29% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, LLC ("DCIP"), a 50% interest in Open Road Releasing, LLC, operator of Open Road Films, LLC ("Open Road Films"), a 32% interest in AC JV, LLC ("AC JV"), owner of Fathom Events, and a 50% interest in two U.S. motion picture theatres and one IMAX screen.

	RealD Inc. Common Stock.    The Company holds an investment in RealD Inc. common stock, which is accounted for as an equity security, available for sale, and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other long-term assets at fair value (Level 1).																		RealD Inc. Common Stock
	Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Non-Consolidated Entities																		The Company holds an investment in RealD Inc. common stock, which is accounted for as an equity security, available for sale, and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other long-term assets at fair value (Level 1). Under its RealD Inc. motion picture license agreement, the Company received a ten-year option to purchase 1,222,780 shares of RealD Inc. common stock at approximately $0.00667 per share. The stock options vested in 3 tranches upon the achievement of screen installation targets and were valued at the underlying stock price at the date of vesting. At the dates of exercise, the fair market value of the RealD Inc. common stock was recorded in other long-term assets with an offsetting entry recorded to other long-term liabilities as a deferred lease incentive. The unamortized deferred lease incentive was recorded at fair value as a result of the Merger, and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining contract life of approximately 7 years as of December 31, 2014, to reduce RealD license expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations under operating expense. For further information, see Note 2—Merger. As of December 31, 2014, the unamortized deferred lease incentive balance included in other long-term liabilities was $16,047,000. Fair value adjustments of RealD Inc. common stock are recorded to other long-term assets with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income.
	Aggregated condensed financial information of the Company's significant non-consolidated equity method investments for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2014 is shown below:																		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. The Company, Regal and Cinemark are known as "Founding Members" of NCM. 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.
			Three Months Ended																As of December 31, 2014, the Company owns a 14.96% interest in NCM. As a Founding Member, the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the governance of NCM, and, accordingly accounts for its investment following the equity method. All of the Company's NCM membership units are redeemable for, at the option of NCM, Inc., cash or shares of common stock of NCM, Inc. on a share-for-share basis. The fair market value of the units in National CineMedia, LLC was approximately $275,825,000 based on a price for shares of NCM, Inc. on December 31, 2014 of $14.37 per share.
	(In thousands)		March 31,			March 31,													Pursuant to the Company's 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.
			2015			2014													As a result of the Rave theatre acquisitions in December 2012, the Company received 1,728,988 common membership units of NCM, effective March 14, 2013 from the annual Common Unit Adjustment. The Company recorded the additional units received at a fair value of $26,315,000, based on a price for shares of NCM, Inc. on March 14, 2013, of $15.22 per share, and as a new investment (Tranche 2 Investment), with an offsetting adjustment to the Exhibitor Services Agreement to be amortized to revenues over the remaining term of the ESA following the units-of-revenue method. The Rave theatre screens were under a contract with another screen advertising provider and the Company will continue to receive its share of the advertising revenues. During the remainder of the Rave screen contract, the Company will pay a screen integration fee to NCM in an amount that approximates the EBITDA that NCM would have generated if it had been able to sell advertising on the Rave theatre screens. In March 2014, the Company received 141,731 membership units recorded at a fair value of $2,137,000 ($15.08 per unit) with a corresponding credit to the ESA to be amortized following the units-of-revenue method over the remaining term of the ESA.
	Revenues		$	117,641		$	112,888												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 NCM intangible assets. 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. Prior to the date of the Merger on August 30, 2012, distributions received under the tax receivable agreement from NCM, Inc. were recorded as additional proceeds received related to the Company's Tranche 1 or 2 Investments and were recorded in earnings in a similar fashion to the proceeds received from the NCM, Inc. IPO and the receipt of excess cash distributions. Following the date of the Merger, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $20,900,000 as the fair value of the tax receivable agreement. The tax receivable agreement intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis against investment income over the remaining life of the ESA. Cash receipts from NCM, Inc. for the tax receivable agreement are recorded to the investment expense (income) account.
	Operating costs and expenses			138,897			110,160												During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, payments received of $8,730,000, $3,677,000, $0, and $0, related to the NCM tax receivable agreement were recorded in investment expense (income), net of related amortization, respectively, for the NCM tax receivable agreement intangible asset.
	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​											Due to the capital transactions following the NCM, Inc. IPO and the quarterly cash distributions paid by NCM to the members, the recorded membership equity in NCM is a deficit. The Company's recorded investment in NCM was adjusted to fair value at the date of the Merger. As a result, the Company's recorded investment in NCM exceeds its proportional ownership in the equity of NCM by approximately $735,795,000 as of December 31, 2014.

Cinemark and Regal also amended and restated their respective ESAs with NCM in connection with the spin-off. The ESAs were modified to remove those provisions addressing the rights and obligations related to digital programing services of the Fathom Events business. Those provisions are now contained in the Amended and Restated Digital Programming Exhibitor Services Agreements (the "Digital ESAs") that were entered into on December 26, 2013 by NCM and each of the Founding Members. These Digital ESAs were then assigned by NCM to AC JV as part of the Fathom spin-off. There were no significant operations from the closing date until December 31, 2013.

																		-1	Represents AMC's investment through the date of the Merger on August 30, 2012 in 4,417,042 common membership units received under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 (Predecessor Tranche 2 Investments). AMC's investment in 12,906,740 common membership units (Predecessor Tranche 1 Investment) was carried at zero cost through the date of the Merger. As of the date of the Merger, the Company's investment in NCM consisted of a single investment tranche (Tranche 1 Investment) of 17,323,782 membership units recorded at fair value (Level 1). As a result of the Rave theatre acquisitions in December of 2012, and as provided under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, the Company received 1,728,988 additional NCM common membership units in 2013 valued at $26,315,000 and is recorded in a second tranche, (Tranche 2 Investment). In March 2014, the Company received 141,731 membership units recorded at a fair value of $2,137,000 ($15.08 per unit) with a corresponding credit to the ESA and is recorded as a part of the Tranche 2 Investment.
																		-2	Represents the unamortized portion of the ESA with NCM. Such amounts are being amortized to other theatre revenues over the remainder of the 30 year term of the ESA ending in 2036, using a units-of-revenue method, as described in ASC 470-10-35 (formerly EITF 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues). In connection with the Merger on August 30, 2012, the amounts related to the ESA were adjusted to estimated fair value. For further information, see Note 2—Merger.
																		-3	Represents equity in earnings on the Predecessor Tranche 2 investments only through August 30, 2012. Subsequent to August 30, 2012, represents percentage of ownership equity in earnings for Successor on both Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Investments.
																		-4	Non-cash gains were recorded in 2013 to adjust the Company's investment balance due to NCM's issuance of 8,688,078 common membership units to other founding members, at a price per share in excess of the Company's average carrying amount per share.
																		-5	Certain differences between the Company's carrying value and the Company's share of NCM's membership equity have been identified and are amortized to equity in (earnings) losses in non-consolidated entities over the respective lives of the assets and liabilities.
																		-6	On December 26, 2013, NCM spun-off its Fathom Events business to a newly formed limited liability company, AC JV, LLC which is owned 32% by each founding member and 4% by NCM. In consideration for the sale, each of the three founding members issued promissory notes of approximately $8,333,000 to NCM. The Company's share of the gain recorded by NCM, as a result of the spin-off, has been excluded from equity in earnings and has been applied as a reduction in the carrying value of AC JV, LLC investment.

	AMCE's Senior Secured Credit Facility
	The Senior Secured Credit Facility is with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions and, as a result of the third amendment on December 15, 2010, the term loan maturity was extended from January 26, 2013 to December 15, 2016 (the "Term Loan due 2016") for the then aggregate principal amount of $476,597,000 held by lenders who consented to the amendment. The remaining then aggregate term loan principal amount of $142,528,000 (the "Term Loan due 2013") was scheduled to mature on January 26, 2013. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provided for a revolving credit facility of $192,500,000 that would mature on December 15, 2015. The revolving credit facility included borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for swingline borrowings on same-day notice.
	Incremental Amendment.    On February 22, 2012, AMCE entered into an amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facility pursuant to which AMCE borrowed term loans (the "Term Loan due 2018"), and used the proceeds, together with cash on hand, to repay the existing Term Loan due 2013. The Term Loan due 2018 was issued under the Senior Secured Credit Facility for $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount and the net proceeds received were $297,000,000. The 1% discount was amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan until the Merger date of August 30, 2012, when the debt was re-measured at fair value. The Term Loan due 2018 required repayments of principal of 1%, or $3,000,000, per annum and the remaining principal payable upon maturity on February 22, 2018.
	Fourth Amendment.    On July 2, 2012, AMCE entered into a waiver and fourth amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facility dated as of January 26, 2006 to, among other things: (i) waive a certain specified default that would otherwise occur upon the change of control effected by the Merger, (ii) permit the Company to change its fiscal year after completion of the Merger, (iii) reflect the change in ownership going forward by restating the definition of "Permitted Holder" to include only Wanda and its affiliates under the Senior Secured Credit Facility in connection with the Merger, (iv) provide for a minimum LIBOR percentage of 1.00%, from, and only after, the completion of the Merger, in determining the interest rate to the Term Loan due 2016, and (v) provide for an interest rate of LIBOR plus 375 basis points to the Term Loan due 2018, from and only after, the completion of the Merger.
	In connection with the waiver and fourth amendment, AMCE paid consent fees to lenders equal to 0.25% of the sum of the revolving credit commitment of such consenting lender and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of term loans held by such consenting lender. AMCE made total consent fee payments to lenders for the fourth amendment of $2,256,000 and recorded it as deferred charges to be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the related term loan or revolving credit facility. AMCE recorded deferred charges for the consent fees of $438,000 on the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to ASC 470-50-40-21 and recorded deferred charges of $1,108,000 for the Term Loan due 2016 and $710,000 for the Term Loan due 2018 pursuant to ASC 470-50-40-17b.
	New Senior Secured Credit Facility.    On April 30, 2013, AMCE entered into a new $925,000,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility pursuant to which AMCE borrowed term loans and used the proceeds to fund the redemption of both the Term Loan due 2016 and the Term Loan due 2018. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is comprised of a $150,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility, which matures on April 30, 2018 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), and a $775,000,000 term loan, which matures on April 30, 2020 (the "Term Loan due 2020"). The Term Loan due 2020 requires repayments of principal of 0.25% of the original principal amount, or $1,937,500, per quarter, with the remaining principal payable upon maturity. The term loan was issued at a 0.25% discount, which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. AMCE capitalized deferred financing costs of approximately $6,909,000 related to the issuance of the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $2,217,000 related to the issuance of the Term Loan due 2020 during calendar 2013. Concurrently with the Term Loan due 2020 borrowings on April 30, 2013, AMCE redeemed all of the outstanding Term Loan due 2016 and the Term Loan due 2018 at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal balance of $464,088,000 and $296,250,000, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest. AMCE recorded a net gain of approximately $(130,000) in other expense (income), which consisted of the Term Loan due 2016 premium write-off, partially offset by the expense for the third-party costs incurred in connection with the repurchase of the Term Loan due 2016 and the Term Loan due 2018, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate principal balance of the Term Loan due 2020 was $761,438,000 and there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2014, AMCE had approximately $136,798,000 available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under its Revolving Senior 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. The minimum rate for base rate borrowings is 1.75% and the minimum rate for LIBOR-based borrowings is 0.75%. The applicable margin for the Term loan due 2020 is 1.75% for base rate borrowings and 2.75% for LIBOR based loans. The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 1.25% to 1.5% for base rate borrowings and from 2.25% to 2.5% for LIBOR based borrowings. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum and for letter of credit fees of up to 0.25% per annum plus the applicable margin for LIBOR-based borrowings on the undrawn amount of the letter of credit. The applicable rate for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2020 at December 31, 2014 was 3.5% based on LIBOR (2.75% margin plus 0.75% minimum LIBOR rate). Prior to redemption, the applicable rate for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2016 at April 30, 2013 was 4.25% based on LIBOR (3.25% margin plus 1.00% minimum LIBOR rate) and the applicable rate for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2018 was 4.75% (3.75% margin plus 1.00% minimum LIBOR rate). AMCE is obligated to repay $7,750,000 of the Term Loan due 2020 per annum through April 30, 2019, with any remaining balance due on April 30, 2020. AMCE 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.
	The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of AMCE and 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 acquisitions; engage in mergers or consolidations; engage in transactions with affiliates; amend constituent documents and material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness, including the Notes due 2020; 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 AMCE and its subsidiaries to maintain, on the last day of each fiscal quarter, a net senior secured leverage ratio, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, of no more than 3.25 to 1 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, including the occurrence of (i) a change in control, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, (ii) defaults under other indebtedness of AMCE, any guarantor or any significant subsidiary having a principal amount of $25,000,000 or more, and (iii) one or more uninsured judgments against the AMCE, any guarantor, or any significant subsidiary for an aggregate amount exceeding $25,000,000 with respect to which enforcement proceedings are brought or a stay of enforcement is not in effect for any period of 60 consecutive days.
	All obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of AMCE'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), are secured by substantially all of AMCE's assets as well as those of each subsidiary guarantor.
	AMCE's Notes Due 2019
	On June 9, 2009, AMCE issued $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes due 2019") issued under an 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 redeemable at AMCE's 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, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
	The Notes due 2019 are general unsecured senior obligations of AMCE, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by each of AMCE's existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its other indebtedness.
	In connection with the Merger on August 30, 2012, the carrying value of the Notes due 2019 was adjusted to fair value. As a result, a premium of $57,000,000 was recorded and will be amortized to interest expense utilizing the interest rate method over the remaining term of the notes. Quoted market prices were used to estimate the fair value of the Notes due 2019 (Level 2) at the date of the Merger. AMCE determined the premium for the Notes due 2019 as the difference between the fair value of the Notes due 2019 and the principal balance of the Notes due 2019.
	On January 15, 2014, AMCE launched a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of its outstanding Notes due 2019 at a purchase price of $1,038.75 plus a $30.00 consent fee for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2019 validly tendered and accepted by AMCE on or before the consent payment deadline on January 29, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. New York City time (the "Consent Date").

An additional $14,000 of Notes due 2019 was tendered from the Consent Date to the expiration date of the tender offer. The consents received exceeded the amount needed to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture under which the Notes due 2019 were issued.
	On February 7, 2014, AMCE amended the indenture governing the Notes due 2019 to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and other related provisions.

	On April 22, 2014, AMCE gave notice for redemption of all outstanding Notes due 2019 on a redemption date of June 1, 2014 (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price of 104.375% of the principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

	In connection with the Merger on August 30, 2012, the carrying value of the Notes due 2020 was adjusted to fair value. As a result, a premium of $63,000,000 was recorded and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the notes. Quoted market prices were used to estimate the fair value of AMCE's Notes due 2020 (Level 2) at the Merger.

AMCE entered into supplemental indentures to give effect to the Waivers and certain amendments to the Indentures, which became operative upon payment of the applicable consent fee immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. The holders of each of the Notes due 2019 and Notes due 2020, who validly consented to the Waiver and the proposed amendments, received a consent fee of $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount at the closing date of the Merger.

	Financial Covenants
	Each indenture relating to the Notes due 2022 and the Notes due 2020 allows AMCE to incur specified permitted indebtedness (as defined therein) without restriction. Each indenture also allows AMCE to incur any amount of additional debt as long as it can satisfy the coverage ratio of each indenture, after giving effect to the indebtedness on a pro forma basis. Under the indenture for the Notes due 2020 (AMCE's most restrictive indenture), at December 31, 2014 AMCE could borrow approximately $1,976,500,000 (assuming an interest rate of 6.25% per annum on the additional indebtedness) in addition to specified permitted indebtedness. If AMCE cannot satisfy the coverage ratios of the indentures, generally it can borrow an additional amount under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The indentures also contain restrictions on AMCE's ability to make distributions to Holdings. Under the most restrictive provision set forth in the note indenture for the Notes due 2020, as of December 31, 2014, the amount of loans and dividends which AMCE could make to Holdings could not exceed approximately $713,526,000 in the aggregate.

Holdings' Board of Directors and Compensation Committee approved a modification to the performance target of the original PSU grant, which resulted in re-measurement of the fair value of the PSU awards as of September 15, 2014. In September 2014, the Board of Directors approved an increase in authorized capital expenditures for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 of $38,800,000 to accelerate deployment of certain customer experience enhancing strategic initiatives.

Awards Granted in 2015

The Board of Directors approved awards of stock, RSU's and PSU's granted on January 5, 2015 and March 6, 2015, to certain of the Company's employees and directors under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The fair value of the stock on January 5, 2015 and March 6, 2015 was $24.97 per share and $33.96 per share respectively, and was based on the closing price of Holdings' common stock. These awards have features substantially consistent with those awarded in 2014 described above, and additional details are as follows:

•

Stock Award Agreement:  On January 5, 2015, 4 non-employee directors were granted an award of 3,828 fully vested shares of Class A common stock each, for a total award of 15,312 shares. The Company will recognize approximately $382,000 of expense in general and administrative expense: other during the three months ended March 31, 2015, in connection with these share grants.

•

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements:  On March 6, 2015, RSU awards of 84,649 units were granted to certain members of management and the Company expects to recognize approximately $2,875,000 of expense in general and administrative expense: other during the three months ended March 31, 2015, in connection with these share grants. These awards do not contain a service condition.

On March 6, 2015, RSU awards of 58,749 units were granted to certain executive officers. The RSU's would be forfeited if Holdings does not achieve a specified performance target. These awards do not contain a service condition. The Company expects to recognize expense for these awards of approximately $1,995,000 in general and administrative expense: other during the three months ended March 31, 2015, based on estimates that the performance condition is expected to be achieved.

•

Performance Stock Unit Award Agreements:  On March 6, 2015, PSU awards of 143,398 units were granted to certain members of management. Assuming attainment of the performance target at 100%, the Company expects to recognize expense for these awards of approximately $4,870,000 in general and administrative expense: other over the performance and vesting period during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

Merger

All of the stock options and restricted stock interests under both the amended and restated 2004 Stock Option Plan and the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan were cancelled, upon the change of control as a result of the Merger, and holders received payments aggregating approximately $7,035,000. The Company had previously recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3,858,000 related to these stock options and restricted stock interests. The Company did not recognize an expense for the remaining $3,177,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense. The Company's accounting policy for any cost triggered by the consummation of the Merger was to recognize the cost when the Merger was consummated. Accordingly, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock interests has not been recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Predecessor period since that statement depicts the results of operations just prior to consummation of the transaction. In addition, since the Successor period reflects the effects of push-down accounting, these costs have also not been recorded as an expense in the Successor period. However, the costs were reflected in the purchase accounting adjustments which were applied in arriving at the opening balances of the Successor. See Note 2—Merger for additional information regarding the settlement of stock options and restricted stock interests.

INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES		NOTE 11—INCOME TAXES
	NOTE 4—INCOME TAXES	The Income tax provision reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following components during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012:
	The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.
	The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 15, 2014 was 39.0%. The Company's tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes.

	-1	Primarily relates to amounts resulting from the Company's tax sharing arrangement, changes in deferred tax assets and associated valuation allowance that are not related to income statement activity as well as amounts charged to other comprehensive income.
	The Company's federal income tax loss carryforward of $649,782,000 will begin to expire in 2016 and will completely expire in 2034 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 $409,654,000, which may be used over various periods ranging from 1 to 20 years.
	From 2008 to 2012, the Company's predecessor entity generated significant net deferred tax assets primarily from debt carrying costs and asset impairments combined with reduced operating profitability. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $181,782,000 and $206,921,000, respectively. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets each period to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on whether it is "more likely than not" that some portion of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods. The Company conducts its evaluation by considering all available positive and negative evidence. This evaluation considers, among other factors, historical operating results, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and the outlooks for the U.S. motion picture and broader economy. Based on the Company's evaluation through December 31, 2014, the Company continued to reserve a portion of its net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their realization and dependence upon future taxable income.
	Consistent with the above process, the Company evaluated the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013, and determined that the valuation allowance against its federal deferred tax assets and all of its state deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income was no longer appropriate. Accordingly, the Company reversed $265,600,000 of valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2013. This reversal is reflected as a non-cash income tax benefit recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	The Company conducted its evaluation by considering all available positive and negative evidence. The principal positive evidence that led to the reversal of the valuation allowance included: (1) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies; (2) a successful public offering of Holdings' common stock during December 2013; (3) the Company's emergence from a three-year cumulative loss in March 2014; (4) the significant positive income generated during 2013; (5) the Company's forecasted future profitability; and (6) improvement in the Company's financial position, including over $500,000,000 of cash on hand at December 31, 2013.
	As described above, the Company has identified a prudent and feasible tax planning strategy which involves the conversion of NCM units into NCM, Inc. common stock that, if executed, would generate significant taxable income. The conversion is within the control of the Company and the Company intends to execute the conversion if it becomes necessary to prevent its net operating loss carryforward from expiring unrealized. In addition, AMCE utilized a portion of proceeds from the public offering of Holdings common stock along with cash generated from an offering of 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 to purchase approximately 77.33% of its 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019, which lowered the amount of indebtedness and lower overall borrowing costs for the Company. These subsequent events also were additional positive evidence considered by management.
	The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon an estimate of future results. Differences between estimated and actual results could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, its financial position and the ability to fully realize its deferred tax assets over time. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the realization of deferred tax assets over time. If future results are significantly different from the Company's estimates and judgments, the Company may be required to record a valuation allowance against some or all of its deferred tax assets prospectively.

	Balance at end of period		$	30.5		$	27.4		$	21.9				$	22.4
	The Company's effective tax rate is not expected to be significantly impacted by the ultimate resolution of the uncertain tax positions.
	The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, 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 applicable to 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.

On December 31, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved revisions to the Company's Postretirement Medical and Life Insurance Plan effective April 1, 2014 and the changes were communicated to the plan participants. As a result of these revisions, the Company recorded a prior service credit of approximately $15,197,000 through other comprehensive income to be amortized over nine years starting in calendar 2014, based on expected future service of the remaining participants. See Note 21—Subsequent Events for information regarding the resolution to terminate the plan, which was adopted by the Compensation Committee and the Company's Board of Directors on January 12, 2015.
	On January 12, 2015, the Compensation Committee and all of the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. adopted resolutions to terminate the AMC Postretirement Medical Plan with an effective date of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company notified eligible associates that their retiree medical coverage under the plan will terminate after March 31, 2015. Payments to eligible associates were approximately $4,300,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded net periodic benefit credits including curtailment gains, settlement gains, amortization of unrecognized prior service credits and amortization of actuarial gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the termination and settlement of the plan during the three months ended March 31, 2015.													As a result of the Merger and the application of "push down" accounting, the benefit plans reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger date. At August 31, 2012, the Successor balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income was reset to zero.
	Net periodic benefit cost (credit) recognized for the plans during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2014 consists of the following:													The measurement dates used to determine pension and other postretirement benefits were December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and August 30, 2012.

													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.
													At the measurement date of December 31, 2014, the Company selected the new RP-2014 Mortality Tables to measure benefit obligations. As a result of using the updated mortality assumptions, the pension and postretirement medical liabilities increased by approximately $6,658,000.
													For measurement purposes, the annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits assumed for 2014 was 7.0% for medical. The rates were assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0% for medical in 2019. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2014 by $60,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of postretirement expense for calendar year 2014 by $2,000. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement obligation for calendar year 2014 by $88,000 and the aggregate service and interest cost components of postretirement expense for calendar year 2014 by $4,000.
													Cash Flows
													The Company does not expect to contribute to the pension plans during the calendar year 2015.
													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 years thereafter:

													Years 2020-2024			29,648			1,745
													Pension Plan Assets
													The Company's investment objectives for its defined benefit pension plan investments are: (1) to preserve the real value of its principal; (2) to maximize a real long-term return with respect to the plan assets consistent with minimizing risk; (3) to achieve and maintain adequate asset coverage for accrued benefits under the plan; and (4) to maintain sufficient liquidity for payment of the plan obligations and expenses. The Company uses a diversified allocation of equity, debt, commodity and real estate exposures that are customized to the Plan's cash flow benefit needs. The target allocations for plan assets are as follows:
													Asset Category		Target
															Allocation
													Fixed(1)			15	%
													Equity Securities—U.S.			26	%
													Equity Securities—International			14	%
													Collective trust fund			25	%
													Private Real Estate			15	%
													Commodities broad basket			5	%
																100	%
													-1	Includes U.S. Treasury Securities and Bond market fund.
													Valuation Techniques.    The fair values classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy were determined using quoted market prices from actively traded markets. The fair values classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy included pooled separate accounts and collective trust funds, which valuations were based on market prices for the underlying instruments that were observable in the market or could be derived by observable market data from independent external valuation information.

													Defined Contribution Plan
													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. Under the Company's 401(k) Savings Plan, the Company matches 100% of each eligible employee's elective contributions up to 3% and 50% of contributions up to 5% of the employee's eligible compensation. The Company's expense under the 401(k) savings plan was $2,696,000, $2,817,000, $1,182,000, and $1,108,000, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively.
													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 $207,000, $265,000, $80,000, and $109,000, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively.
													As of both December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's liability related to the collectively bargained multiemployer pension plan withdrawals was immaterial.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Use of Estimates

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) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

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 income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. As of December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company managed its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.

Principles of Consolidation:    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMCE and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The March 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet data does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 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. 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 income (loss) for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2015. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.

Fiscal Year

Fiscal Year:    On November 15, 2012, the Company changed its fiscal year to a calendar year ending on December 31st of each year. Prior to the change, the Company had a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Thursday closest to the last day of March. The consolidated financial statements include the transition period of March 30, 2012 through December 31, 2012 ("Transition Period").

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations:    The results of operations for the Company's discontinued operations have been eliminated from the Company's continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 4—Discontinued Operations for further information.

Revenues

Revenues:    Revenues are recognized when admissions and food and beverage sales are received at the theatres and are reported net of sales tax. 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 income from non-redemption is recorded. The Company recognizes income from non-redeemed or partially redeemed gift cards using the Proportional Method where it applies a non-redemption rate for its five gift card sales channels which ranges from 14% to 23% of the current month sales and the Company recognizes that total amount of income for that current month's sales as income over the next 24 months in proportion to the pattern of actual redemptions. The Company has determined its non-redeemed rates and redemption patterns using data accumulated over ten years on a company-wide basis. Income for non-redeemed packaged tickets continues to be recognized as the redemption of these items is determined to be remote, that is if a ticket has not been used within 18 months after being purchased. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, the Company recognized $21,347,000, $19,510,000, $3,483,000, and $7,776,000 of income, respectively, related to the derecognition of gift card liabilities, which was recorded in other theatre revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, the Company recognized $11,710,000, $0, $0, and $4,818,000 of income, respectively, related to the derecognition of package ticket liabilities, which was recorded in other theatre revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of fair value accounting due to the Merger, the Company did not recognize any income on packaged tickets until 18 months after the date of the Merger.

Film Exhibition Costs

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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company recorded film payables of $95,847,000 and $149,378,000, respectively, which are included in accounts payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Food and Beverage Costs

Food and Beverage Costs:    The Company records payments from vendors as a reduction of food and beverage costs when earned.

Screen Advertising

Screen Advertising:    On March 29, 2005, the Company and Regal Entertainment Group ("Regal") combined their respective cinema screen advertising businesses into a joint venture company called National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM") and on July 15, 2005, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. ("Cinemark") joined NCM. The Company, Regal and Cinemark are known as the "Founding Members." NCM engages in the marketing and sale of cinema advertising and promotions products, business communications and training services. The Company records its share of on-screen advertising revenues generated by NCM in other theatre revenues.

Customer Frequency Program

Customer Frequency Program:    On April 1, 2011, the Company fully launched AMC Stubs, a customer frequency program, which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions. Rewards must be redeemed no later than 90 days from the date of issuance. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Rewards not redeemed within 90 days are forfeited and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. Progress rewards (member expenditures toward earned rewards) for expired membership are forfeited upon expiration of the membership and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. The program's annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs:    The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and does not have any direct-response advertising recorded as assets. Advertising costs were $10,317,000, $9,684,000, $4,137,000, and $3,603,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively, and are recorded in operating expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash and Equivalents:    All highly liquid debt instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets:    Intangible assets are recorded at cost or fair value, in the case of intangible assets resulting from the Merger and acquisitions, and are comprised of amounts assigned to theatre leases acquired under favorable terms, management contracts, a contract with an equity method investee, and a non-compete agreement, each of which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets, and trademark and trade names, which are considered indefinite lived intangible assets and therefore are not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment annually.

The Company first assesses the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the fair vale of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. There were no intangible asset impairment charges incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012.

Investments

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. Equity earnings and losses are recorded when the Company's ownership interest provides the Company with significant influence. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-30-35-3, which prescribes the use of the equity method for investments where the Company has significant influence. The Company classifies gains and losses on sales of and changes of interest in equity method investments within equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities or in separate line items on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations when material, and classifies gains and losses on sales of investments or impairments accounted for using the cost method in investment income. Gains and losses on cash sales are recorded using the weighted average cost of all interests in the investments. Gains and losses related to non-cash negative common unit adjustments are recorded using the weighted average cost of those units in NCM. See Note 7—Investments for further discussion of the Company's investments in NCM. As of December 31, 2014, the Company holds equity method investments comprised of a 14.96% interest in NCM, a joint venture that markets and sells cinema advertising and promotions; a 32% interest in AC JV, LLC ("AC JV"), a joint venture that owns Fathom Events offering alternative content for motion picture screens; a 29% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC ("DCIP"), a joint venture charged with implementing digital cinema in the Company's theatres; a 50% ownership interest in two U.S. motion picture theatres and one IMAX screen; and a 50% ownership interest in Open Road Releasing, LLC, operator of Open Road Films, LLC ("Open Road Films"), a motion picture distribution company.

The Company's investment in RealD Inc. is an available-for-sale marketable equity security and is carried at fair value (Level 1). Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 7—Investments for further discussion of the Company's investment in RealD Inc.

Goodwill

Goodwill:    Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets related to the Merger and subsequent 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 $2,291,943,000 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company evaluates goodwill and its trademark and trade names for impairment annually as of the beginning of the fourth 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.

The Company performed its annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of calendar 2014 and the fourth quarter of calendar 2013, and reached a determination that there was no goodwill or trademark and trade name impairment. According to ASC 350-20, the Company has an option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. During the fourth quarter of calendar 2014 and the fourth quarter of calendar 2013, the Company assessed qualitative factors and reached a determination that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Company's reporting unit is less than its carrying value, and therefore, no impairment charge was incurred.

Other Long-term Assets

Other Long-term Assets:    Other long-term assets are comprised principally of investments in equity method investees and capitalized computer software, which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. See Note 8—Supplemental Balance Sheet Information.

Accounts Payable

Accounts Payable:    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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $43,692,000 and $52,093,000, respectively.

Leases

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 records rent expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the initial base lease term 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 840-10-25. 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 corresponds 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 it is required to account for these projects as sale and leaseback transactions. As a result, the Company has recorded financing lease obligations for failed sale leaseback transactions of $80,645,000 and $85,902,000 in its Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these types of projects as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions

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 net book value of the property. Gains on sale and leaseback transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining lease term.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of Long-lived Assets:    The Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles, investments in non-consolidated equity method investees, 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 impairment analysis during the last quarter of the year. 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 for 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, in some instances with the assistance of third party valuation studies and using management judgment.

There is considerable management judgment necessary to determine the estimated future cash flows and fair values of the Company's 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 16—Fair Value Measurements.

Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are included in the following captions:

During calendar 2014, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $3,149,000 on 8 theatres with 94 screens, which was related to property, net. During calendar 2013, the Company recognized non-cash impairment losses of $1,370,000 related to a marketable equity security when it was determined that its decline in value was other than temporary. There were no impairments during the period August 31, through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012

Foreign Currency Translation

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. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, except those intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, are included in net earnings (loss). If the Company substantially liquidates its investment in a foreign entity, any gain or loss on currency translation balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized as part of a gain or loss on disposition.

Income and Operating Taxes

Income and Operating 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 asset and 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 statement of operations effect is generally derived from changes in deferred income taxes on the balance sheet. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company reversed $265,600,000 ($3.47 per share) of valuation allowance which increased its net earnings.

Holdings and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and combined income tax returns in certain state jurisdictions. Income taxes are allocated based on separate Company computations of income or loss. Tax sharing arrangements are in place and utilized when tax benefits from affiliates in the consolidated group are used to offset what would otherwise be taxable income generated by Holdings or another affiliate.

Casualty Insurance

Casualty Insurance:    The Company is self-insured for general liability up to $1,000,000 per occurrence and carries a $500,000 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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had recorded casualty insurance reserves of $17,197,000 and $16,549,000, respectively, net of estimated insurance recoveries. The Company recorded expenses related to general liability and workers compensation claims of $16,329,000, $16,332,000, $3,913,000, and $5,732,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively.

Policy for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Policy for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:    The Company considers the amount recorded for corporate borrowings issued or acquired at a premium above the stated principal balance to be part of the amount borrowed and classifies the related cash inflows and outflows up to but not exceeding the borrowed amount as financing activities in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For amounts borrowed in excess of the stated principal amount, a portion of the semi-annual coupon payment is considered to be a repayment of the amount borrowed and the remaining portion of the semi-annual coupon payment is an interest payment flowing through operating activities based on the level yield to maturity of the debt.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements:    In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810)—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"), which provides guidance on evaluating whether a reporting entity should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities. Further, the amendments eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, as well as affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments using a modified retrospective approach or a full retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adopting ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), ("ASU 2014-12"). This update is intended to resolve the diverse accounting treatment of share-based awards that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to apply the amendments prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date and expects to adopt ASU 2014-12 as of the beginning of 2016. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2014-12 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet selected a transition method.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, ("ASU 2014-08"). This amendment changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and includes enhanced disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the amendment, only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-08 as of the beginning of 2015 and it does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2014-08 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)—Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, ("ASU 2013-05"). This amendment clarifies the applicable guidance for the release of cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. When an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, the entity is required to apply the guidance in ASC 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net earnings. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net earnings only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2013-05 as of the beginning of 2014 and the adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

	-1	Property, net consists of real estate, leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment recorded at fair value.
	-2	Intangible assets consist of a trademark and trade names, a non-compete agreement, management contracts, a contract with an equity method investee, and favorable leases. In general, the majority of the Company's asset value is comprised of real estate and fixed assets. Furthermore, the majority of the Company's theatres are operated via lease agreements as opposed to owning the underlying real estate. Therefore, any asset value related to leased real estate would exist only if the existing lease agreements were at below-market, or favorable, terms. Certain of the Company's leased locations were considered to be at favorable terms, and an intangible asset was ascribed for such lease agreements. However, the majority of lease agreements were considered to be at market terms. As a result, there is no owned real estate or lease intangible asset value ascribed to the majority of the Company's locations. In estimating the fair value of the favorable lease agreements, market rents were estimated for each of the Company's leased locations. If the contractual rents were considered to be below the market rent, a favorable lease agreement was valued by discounting the difference between the contractual rent and estimated market rates over the remaining lease term. Renewal options in the leases were also considered in determining the remaining lease term.
	Other intangible assets were also considered. For the Company's business, the largest intangible asset (other than favorable lease agreements) is the trade name. There was no customer relationship asset since the Company's customers represent "walk-in traffic" in which the customer would not meet the legal or separable criteria under ASC 805. The royalty savings method, a form of the income approach, was used to estimate the fair value of the trade name. In estimating the appropriate royalty rate for the trade name, the Company considered the impact and contribution that the trade name provides to the Company's operating cash flows. The Company assessed that the trade name does provide some contribution to the Company's operating cash flow, but that the attendance in the theatre is ultimately driven by factors that are not separable from goodwill such as the quality of the film product, the location of each individual theatre, the physical condition of the individual theatre, and the competitive landscape of the individual theatre.
	Other than the favorable lease agreements and the trade name, there are not many other operating intangible assets for the Company's business. However, the Company does have some contractual relationships identified as intangible assets. These contractual relationships include the non-compete agreement that was entered into as part of the Company's acquisition of Kerasotes, management agreements in which the Company manages certain theatres that are owned by a third party, and the NCM tax receivable agreement (the "NCM TRA") which represents an agreement in which the Company receives a certain portion of a tax benefit that NCM is expected to receive as part of the Company's partial ownership interest in NCM. The non-compete agreement was valued using the differential cash flow method, a form of the income approach, in which the cash flows of the Company were estimated under a scenario in which the non-compete agreement was in place and a scenario in which there was no non-compete agreement. The value of the non-compete agreement was considered to be the difference of the discounted cash flows between the two scenarios over the remaining contractual term of the agreement. The management agreements were valued using the income approach, in which the annual management fees over the life of the agreements were discounted. The NCM TRA was valued using the income approach in which the future tax benefit distribution realized from any tax amortization of intangible assets was estimated and discounted. The Company determined the value of the TRA using a discounted cash flow model. For the purposes of its analysis, the Company estimated the cash receipts from taxable transactions that were known as of the date of the Merger. The Company did not consider future transactions that NCM may undertake. The Company estimated a run-off of the intangible asset amortization benefits from the TRA due to the following transactions:
	1	ESA (Exhibitor Services Agreement)—relates to the amortization due to a modification of the initial ESA agreement.
	2	CUA (Common Unit Adjustment)—relates to NCM issuing additional common units to the founding members if there is an increase in the number of theaters under the ESA agreement. A reduction of common units is made if there are theaters removed from the ESA agreement.
	3	AMC II Benefit—relates to AMC's acquisition of Kerasotes theaters.
	4	IPO Exchange Benefit—relates to amortization from NCM's IPO in 2007.
	5	IPO II Exchange Benefit—relates to amortization step ups from NCM's secondary IPO in 2010.
	6	Capital Account Administration Allocation—relates to receipts attributable to the account administration.
		The estimated TRA receipts through 2037 are tax effected at 40%, based on a blended federal and 50-state average tax rate. The after tax receipts were discounted to a present value using a discount rate of 12.0%, based on the cost of equity of NCM, as the TRA payments only benefit the equity holders. See Note 7—Investments for additional information.
	-3		Goodwill represents the excess of the Merger consideration over the net assets recognized and represents the future expected economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill associated with the Merger is not tax deductible. Additionally, the Company expects to realize synergies and cost savings related to the Merger. Wanda is the largest theatre exhibition operator in China through its controlling ownership interest in Wanda Cinema Line. The combined ownership and scale of AMC and Wanda Cinema Line, has enabled them to enhance relationships and obtain better terms for important food and beverage, lighting and theatre supply vendors, and to expand their strategic partnership with IMAX. Wanda and AMC are also working together to offer Hollywood studios and other production companies valuable access to their industry-leading promotion and distribution platforms, with the goal of gaining greater access to content and playing a more important role in the industry going forward.
	-4		Other long-term assets primarily include equity method investments, real estate held for investment and marketable equity securities recorded at fair value.
	-5		Represents a liability related to the sales of gift cards, packaged tickets and AMC Stubs™ memberships and rewards outstanding at August 30, 2012, recorded at fair value. The Company determined fair value for the gift cards and packaged tickets by removing the amount of unrecognized breakage income that was included in the deferred revenue amounts prior to the Merger. The Company made purchase accounting adjustments to reduce its deferred revenues for packaged tickets by $24,859,000 and gift cards by $7,441,000 such that the Company would recognize a normal profit margin on its deferred revenues for the future redemptions of the sales that occurred prior to the Merger. The Company did not make any fair value adjustments to its deferred revenues related to AMC Stubs as a result of the Merger because deferred revenues for the annual memberships require performance by AMC in the future and there was not sufficient historical data to estimate amounts of future breakage for AMC Stubs rewards. AMC Stubs vested rewards expire after 90 days if unused and AMC Stubs progress rewards expire to the extent members do not renew their annual membership.
	-6		Corporate borrowings include borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility-Term Loan due 2016, the Senior Secured Credit Facility-Term Loan due 2018, the 8.75% Senior Fixed Rate Notes due 2019 and the 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020, recorded at fair value.
	-7		In connection with the completion of NCM, Inc.'s IPO on February 13, 2007, the Company entered into the Exhibitor Services Agreement that provided favorable terms to NCM in exchange for a payment of $231,308,000. The Exhibitor Services Agreement was considered an unfavorable contract to the Company based on a comparison of rates charged by NCM to third-party exhibitors. The market rate was estimated as the average rate charged by NCM to third party exhibitors. The fair value of the contract was estimated as the present value of the difference between the Company's expected payments under the contract and a market rate over the life of the Exhibitor Services Agreement. The Company's expected payments were estimated based on the Company's expected annual attendance, screen count, and advertising revenues over the life of the exhibitor Services Agreement. See Note 7—Investments for additional information.
	-8		Other long-term liabilities consist of certain theatre leases that have been identified as unfavorable, adjustments to reset deferred rent related to escalations of minimum rentals to zero, adjustments for pension and postretirement medical plan liabilities and deferred RealD Inc. lease incentive recorded at fair value. Other long-term liabilities include deferred tax liabilities resulting from indefinite temporary differences that arose primarily from the application of "push down" accounting.

																			-1	Represents AMC's investment through the date of the Merger on August 30, 2012 in 4,417,042 common membership units received under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 (Predecessor Tranche 2 Investments). AMC's investment in 12,906,740 common membership units (Predecessor Tranche 1 Investment) was carried at zero cost through the date of the Merger. As of the date of the Merger, the Company's investment in NCM consisted of a single investment tranche (Tranche 1 Investment) of 17,323,782 membership units recorded at fair value (Level 1). As a result of the Rave theatre acquisitions in December of 2012, and as provided under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, the Company received 1,728,988 additional NCM common membership units in 2013 valued at $26,315,000 and is recorded in a second tranche, (Tranche 2 Investment). In March 2014, the Company received 141,731 membership units recorded at a fair value of $2,137,000 ($15.08 per unit) with a corresponding credit to the ESA and is recorded as a part of the Tranche 2 Investment.
																			-2	Represents the unamortized portion of the ESA with NCM. Such amounts are being amortized to other theatre revenues over the remainder of the 30 year term of the ESA ending in 2036, using a units-of-revenue method, as described in ASC 470-10-35 (formerly EITF 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues). In connection with the Merger on August 30, 2012, the amounts related to the ESA were adjusted to estimated fair value. For further information, see Note 2—Merger.
																			-3	Represents equity in earnings on the Predecessor Tranche 2 investments only through August 30, 2012. Subsequent to August 30, 2012, represents percentage of ownership equity in earnings for Successor on both Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Investments.
																			-4	Non-cash gains were recorded in 2013 to adjust the Company's investment balance due to NCM's issuance of 8,688,078 common membership units to other founding members, at a price per share in excess of the Company's average carrying amount per share.
																			-5	Certain differences between the Company's carrying value and the Company's share of NCM's membership equity have been identified and are amortized to equity in (earnings) losses in non-consolidated entities over the respective lives of the assets and liabilities.
																			-6	On December 26, 2013, NCM spun-off its Fathom Events business to a newly formed limited liability company, AC JV, LLC which is owned 32% by each founding member and 4% by NCM. In consideration for the sale, each of the three founding members issued promissory notes of approximately $8,333,000 to NCM. The Company's share of the gain recorded by NCM, as a result of the spin-off, has been excluded from equity in earnings and has been applied as a reduction in the carrying value of AC JV, LLC investment.
