Exhibit 99.3

March 3, 2016

Dear Carmike Guest,

Today we announced that Carmike Cinemas is joining with AMC Theatres to create a new industry leader.

This is just the first step in a journey as we combine our two companies. We expect the transaction to close by the end of 2016. For now, we remain separate companies and it is business as usual.

We expect this transaction to be largely seamless for our guests. You can continue to enjoy Carmike Cinemas, earn and use points in our Rewards program, and purchase and use gift cards as you always have.

As we have more to share about the benefits of our combination with AMC Theatres, we will be sure to keep guests informed through our website, www.carmike.com.

As always, thank you for continuing to let us provide you with best-in-class movie experiences. We hope to see you at one of our theatres again soon.

Sincerely,

David Passman

President and Chief Executive Officer
