Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities


On March 24, 2005, AMC Entertainment Inc. (“AMC” or the “Company”) commenced an organizational restructuring related to functions at its Home Office in Kansas City, Missouri and its Film Office in Los Angeles, California.  The Company's new organizational structure flattens management structure and aligns systems, resources and areas of expertise to promote faster communication.  The primary goal of the restructuring is to create a simplified organizational structure; in this way, the Company believes it is positioning AMC to best serve its existing guests while setting the stage to handle growth with improved infrastructure.  


The Company currently estimates it will record $5.2 million of expenses related to one-time termination benefits and other costs related to the displacement of approximately 55 associates.  The expenses are expected to be incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006.  The Company expects to complete its organizational restructuring including payment of related costs by the end of its first fiscal quarter of 2006 on June 30, 2005.
