AMC Entertainment president and CEO Adam Aron discusses the potential for 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and the Christmas movie season on 'The Claman Countdown.'
AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron said Friday that his company sold 20,000 promotional popcorn helmets in one day to support Marvel's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."
"AMC creativity at work, selling 20,000 Ant-Man popcorn helmets for $600,000 yesterday in just one day," the company's president tweeted.
"If we did that EVERY day (which we can’t, not all movies of Ant-Man appeal with families), would be $220 million of annual revenue!" Aron added.
