The original USD $1.1 billion had been sweetened to USD $1.2 billion, plus giving Carmike shareholders a stake in the enlarged AMC. The deal expands AMC's base by more than 600 screens in 45 US states plus D.C. It is still subject to regulatory approval, but little geographical overlap between the two chains means it is likely to be passed.
