Amendment Description	AMC Entertainment Inc. hereby amends Parts 1 and 2 of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013 ("Original Filing") to include amended Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited) and Item 6. Exhibits to revise and generally conform the treatment of certain items in the financial statements of AMC Entertainment Inc. included in this Report on Form 10-Q/A to the previously filed financial statements of our parent, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings' financial statements, which remain unchanged and are not affected by this report, were included in Amendment No. 6 to Holdings' Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, management identified adjustments necessary to correct the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets recognized when "push down" accounting was applied at the date of the Merger and to correct changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets recognized subsequent to the Merger. The Company has modified its disclosures in Note 1-Prior Period Adjustments to indicate that the cumulative effect of the adjustment for the period from August 31, 2012 to December 31, 2012 has also been reflected in the Company's 10-K/A Amendment No. 2 for the Transition Period December 31, 2012. There was no impact on the consolidated statement of operations, net cash provided by operating activities or to the September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012 balance sheets as a result of the above mentioned items or any impact on any period prior to August 31, 2012. The information contained in this Form 10-Q/A has not been updated to reflect other events, other than those identified above related to the restatement, occurring after November 8, 2013, the date of the Original Filing, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Without limitation of the foregoing, this filing does not purport to update Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Original Filing of the September 30, 2013 Form 10-Q for any information, uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends known to management occurring subsequent to the filing of the original September 30, 2013 Form 10-Q. More current information is contained in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
