According to the company’s CEO, Adam Aron, the innovation was made possible thanks to the BitPay cryptocurrency processing service.

AMC Theaters is one of the largest film distribution networks in the US and Europe. It has more than 950 cinemas and 10,500 screens worldwide. It is also the operator of its own online cinema.

In September 2021, the head of the cinema chain launched a survey to add support for Dogecoin. Twitter users supported the idea – in October, the company integrated the payment of gift cards using the meme-cryptocurrency.

That same month, Aron launched a similar survey about adding support for the Shiba Inu, a clone of Dogecoin. More than 153,000 people participated – the idea was supported by more than 81% of respondents.

In November, AMC Theaters began accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin as online payment methods. According to Aron, the company will add support for Dogecoin in the future.

Recall that in January 2022, AMC Theaters distributed exclusive NFTs to over 580,000 shareholders.
