This leadership transition coincides with the departure of
Elizabeth Frank, AMC’s long-time head of Worldwide Programming and
Chief Content Officer. Frank will assume the role of Chief
Executive Officer of RealD, a leading global provider of 3D cinema
technology, and AMC’s largest 3D partner.
As part of the leadership transition, Juan Antonio Gomez, Chief
Partnership and Content Officer at ODEON Cinemas Group, will lead
all film and content programming internationally for AMC
Entertainment’s movie theatres outside the United States. Based in
London, he will continue to report to Mark Way, President, AMC
Europe & Managing Director of ODEON Cinemas Group, and Gomez
will continue to serve on the Executive Committee of ODEON.
Denson-Randolph and Gomez will pair and collaborate to ensure
that a comprehensive array of film and alternative content
continues to be seen on the big screens of AMC and ODEON. They will
also strive to strengthen the already superb relationships AMC and
ODEON enjoy with movie studios and filmmakers the world over.
During her 16 years at AMC Theatres, Nikkole Denson-Randolph has
made a profound impact on the theatrical exhibition industry and
millions of moviegoers around the country, through her focus on and
dedication to independent film, storytelling, and content that
appeals to a wide array of audiences. In her most recent role as
Senior Vice President, Content Strategy & Inclusive
Programming, Denson led the planning and execution of AMC Theatres
Distribution’s two concert films, Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, and
Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé. She also has worked closely with
the major studios through her leadership of AMC’s Programming
Promotions team, which leverages AMC’s in-theatre and digital
moviegoer engagement to stimulate more frequent movie-going.
Denson-Randolph has spent her AMC career planning, executing,
and leading innovative and strategic programs that greatly expand
content available to moviegoers. Her extensive work has helped open
new avenues for filmmakers and studios to bring their stories to
the big screen. AMC Artisan Films, a program designed to celebrate
character-driven stories from unique perspectives, launched under
Denson-Randolph’s leadership in 2019. Denson-Randolph also led and
orchestrated the launch of AMC Independent, a highly popular film
program designed to provide AMC Theatres’ guests with on-screen
storytelling from around the world and create a direct pipeline for
filmmakers who are poised to distribute their own films
theatrically.
Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC, expressed his confidence in
the leadership that Denson-Randolph will bring to the programming
of AMC’s U.S. screens:
“Nikkole Denson-Randolph’s vision, creativity, and unmatched
expertise in the film industry have played a vital role in AMC’s
success over the past 16 years. Her ability to identify diverse
content, elevate unique cinematic voices, and innovate
attendance-driving programs has positioned AMC as a leader in
showcasing films that resonate with all audiences. She is highly
respected internally at AMC and throughout the entertainment
industry. I have every confidence that we won’t miss a beat as the
baton is passed from Elizabeth Frank to Nikkole.”
Denson-Randolph, who previously served as Director of Business
Development for Starbucks Coffee Company’s entertainment group, and
as President of Magic Johnson Entertainment, shared her enthusiasm
about this new chapter:
“I am honored to take on this incredible opportunity to lead
AMC’s film operations in the United States during such an exciting
time for the industry. Movies remain a universal language, and AMC
is at the forefront of bringing exceptional stories to life on the
big screen. I look forward to building on our strong legacy and
ensuring that audiences everywhere have access to an extraordinary
cinematic experience at AMC Theatres.”
Aron added, “At the same time, I have every confidence that Juan
Antonio Gomez will continue to apply his unique industry knowledge
to programming our international screens. As I have scoured the
movie theatre business across Europe, it has become very clear to
me that no one matches Juan Antonio’s ability to get the job done
well. ODEON is fortunate to have such a top-tier player in his key
leadership role.”
Juan Antonio Gomez said, “I love movies, and love what I do for
ODEON Cinemas Group. Since AMC acquired ODEON in 2016, it has been
fulfilling for us to jointly evolve into becoming the largest movie
theatre company across the globe. As the box office builds, these
are exciting times for our industry, and I look forward to
continuing to help lead the way internationally for AMC
Entertainment.”
As AMC bids farewell to Elizabeth Frank, the company celebrates
her many significant contributions. During her 15-year tenure,
nearly all of which came at the helm of AMC’s Film Programming
& Content department, Frank played a pivotal role in growing
AMC from the second-largest theatrical exhibitor in the United
States into a global powerhouse, as the largest exhibitor in the
United States and in the world.
Adam Aron said, “Elizabeth Frank has played a crucial role in
AMC’s evolution, and she has delivered for us over and over again.
We thank her for her dedication to AMC and are thrilled for her
that she has been offered a CEO role, especially so because RealD
is an important programming partner for both AMC and ODEON. As an
example of its relevance to AMC, RealD 3D generated $145 million of
AMC’s domestic box office in 2024. I am hopeful that Elizabeth can
spark growth for RealD 3D, which in turn has the prospect of
greatly benefiting AMC and Odeon financially as a result.”
Elizabeth Frank commented on her transition: “Being a part of
AMC’s innovation and expansion has been deeply rewarding for me,
both professionally and personally. Through my role at AMC, I have
experienced first-hand the potential for 3D to enhance the
movie-going experience and increase a movie’s box office
performance. I am excited to join RealD now, as industry dynamics
position 3D for tremendous growth.”
