Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure

        On August 30, 2013, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent") filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") relating to an initial public offering of shares of its common stock. The Registration Statement includes information about AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE"), Parent's wholly-owned subsidiary.

        AMCE is furnishing the information in this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 to comply with Regulation FD. Such information shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of AMCE's filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

        The financial information contained in the Registration Statement (and in Exhibit 99.1 to this report) relates to Parent, and it differs in some respects to the corresponding information for AMCE. The Registration Statement has not yet become effective, and the information contained therein is subject to change. This report shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities of Parent in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
