AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC) shares are trading higher on Monday. The surge comes just one day before the theater giant reports its first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.

Netflix Partnership Hits High Gear

The rally follows a Saturday announcement from CEO Adam Aron regarding a landmark deal with Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX).

Aron revealed the streaming giant authorized a wide global release for Greta Gerwig's Narnia on Feb. 12.

Crucially for investors, the film will carry a traditional 49-day exclusive theatrical window.

Aron noted on X, "It should not be lost on anyone the significance of Netflix trying a real global release of a major film title."

IMAX and Global Reach

AMC plans to utilize its 225 IMAX auditoriums for prominent advance screenings.

Aron stated that cooperative efforts with Netflix "picked up steam in the back half of 2025, and have been immensely successful."

The company intends to leverage its entire network, including Odeon in Europe, to support the release. "We are in their corner fully. We are and will be all in," Aron added.
