Launched:  May 1980

In May 1980, American Multi Cinema began using the AMC abbreviation and became AMC Theatres. Although the logo wouldn't become officially red until the introduction of the current logo in 1994, the red variant was the most commonly used.

Very few theaters, if any, still use this logo (including the one in Downtown Santa Monica), since many of them that were around during this logo's run have either been closed down since, or have received a series of renovations, in which they were updated to the current logo.

AMC 1994

In 1994, the text color was officially changed from black to red and the letter "c" became rounder, just like the "A" and the "m".

On June 3, 2020, AMC announced that it had "substantial doubt" that it will remain in business after the movie theaters were closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By August, the company began the process of reopening selected locations in the United States where allowed under local health orders. However, in December of the same year, it received $100 million in funding, in turn, to an extent, saving the theater chain from potential bankruptcy. By 2021, many of the other locations were reopened.
