AMC Global Media reported its third-quarter 2026 earnings Monday, revealing a major increase in content licensing sales and a restructuring charge of $2.1 million following the sale of its ALLBLK streaming service.
Additionally, AMC says its Sept. 4 settlement agreement with “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman and other series producers led to a cash payment of $85 million with $35 million still left to be paid no later than Jan. 31, 2027. As a result of the lawsuit’s outcome, AMC recorded a charge of $85 million in consideration for the dismissal of the action with prejudice during the July-Sept. quarter.

We continue to leverage our key points of differentiation including a targeted streaming strategy that is complementary to larger and more expensive options from other providers, running on a single technology platform with attractive pricing and packaging. Our AMC Studios business is creating valuable and distinctive IP for our own platforms and for partners through co-production relationships and content sales.”
