Exhibit 99.2

March 3, 2016

Dear Carmike Associate,

We announced today that Carmike Cinemas has entered into a definitive agreement to combine with AMC Theatres to create a new industry leader. A copy of the press release issued today can be found here: www.carmikeinvestors.com/PressReleases/Financial.

We believe AMC is an ideal partner for Carmike and that this combination represents a logical step forward for both of our companies. Our theatre footprints are highly complementary. Whereas Carmike has traditionally emphasized mid-sized communities for its theatre locations, AMC operates six of the top 10 highest grossing theatres in the country. Pending regulatory review, the combined company will operate more than 600 theatre locations across 45 states and the District of Columbia.

In addition, both Carmike and AMC are committed to delivering a superior entertainment experience. Similar to Carmike, AMC has been working to expand its concessions stands beyond the traditional favorites, including providing dine-in options. Like Carmike, AMC is also constantly upgrading the movie presentation, including a conversion to digital projection, 3D movies and more large-screen formats like IMAX and AMC’s Dolby Cinema at AMC Prime experience. By leveraging the innovation and expertise of both companies, we expect to be able to deliver an even more compelling movie-going experience to our guests in many more locations across the country.

For many Carmike employees, we expect this may lead to new career development opportunities as part of a larger, more diversified organization.

Keep in mind, today’s announcement is just the first step. Until the transaction closes, which we currently expect to occur by the end of 2016, we will continue to operate as a separate, independent company. It should be business as usual for Carmike employees. It is important that we remain focused on our day-to-day responsibilities.

Over the coming months, Carmike and AMC will be developing plans on how best to bring the companies together and capitalize on the capabilities and talent across each organization. We will share information as it is available. Right now, I can tell you that the combined company will be led by AMC’s leadership team at its current headquarters in the Kansas City Metro area.

There are still many details to be worked out.

Tomorrow, Friday, March 4^th at 8:30am (ET), I’ll be hosting a meeting for all corporate employees at the Carmike Hollywood Connection Ritz 13 where we will discuss this further. Please make every effort to attend.

Today’s announcement may generate interest from those outside Carmike. As always, it is important for Carmike to speak with one voice. If you receive any outside inquiries, please forward them to Rob Collins, Chief Marketing Officer at 706-576-3459 or PR@carmike.com.

On behalf of our Board and management team, I want you to thank you for your hard work and dedication. Carmike’s employees are an essential part of our success and your contributions will continue to drive our company forward.

Sincerely,

David Passman

President and Chief Executive Officer
