PROSPECTUS

AMC ENTERTAINMENT INC.

OFFER TO EXCHANGE

$600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025, the issuance of
which has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
for
all of its outstanding 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025

         We are offering to exchange, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, all of our new 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the "exchange notes") for all of our outstanding 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the "original notes" and collectively with the exchange notes, the "notes"). We are also offering the subsidiary guarantees of the exchange notes, which are described in this prospectus. The terms of the exchange notes are substantially identical to the terms of the original notes except that the issuance of the exchange notes has been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). We will pay interest on the notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes mature on June 15, 2025. The principal features of the exchange offer are as follows:

•

We will exchange all original notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer for an equal principal amount of exchange notes.



•

You may withdraw tendered original notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.



•

The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2015, unless extended. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.



•

The exchange of original notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.



•

We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.



•

We do not intend to apply for listing of the exchange notes on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. All untendered original notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the original notes and in the indenture. In general, the original notes may not be offered or sold except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not currently anticipate that we will register the original notes under the Securities Act.

         You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page 14 of this prospectus before participating in the exchange offer.

         Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for original notes where such original notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date of the exchange offer and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."

         Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

        We and the guarantors have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, a registration statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act with respect to the exchange notes being offered hereby. This prospectus, which forms a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement. For further information with respect to us, the guarantors or the exchange notes, we refer you to the registration statement. We file reports and other information with the SEC. The registration statement, such reports and other information can be inspected and copied at the Public Reference Room of the SEC located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington D.C. 20549. Copies of such materials, including copies of all or any portion of the registration statement, can be obtained from the Public Reference Room of the SEC at prescribed rates. You can call the SEC at 1-800- SEC-0330 to obtain information about the Public Reference Room. Such materials may also be accessed electronically by means of the SEC's home page on the Internet (http://www.sec.gov). In addition, you may obtain these materials free of charge on the Company's website (http://www.amctheatres.com). The contents of our website have not been, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

        Under the terms of the indenture relating to the notes, we have agreed that, whether or not we are required to do so by the rules and regulations of the SEC, for so long as any of the notes remain outstanding, we will furnish to the trustee and holders of the notes the information specified therein in the manner specified therein. See "Description of Exchange Notes."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

        Certain financial measures presented in this prospectus, such as Adjusted EBITDA, are not recognized terms under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These measures exclude a number of significant items, including our interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

        We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used in our industry. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) from continuing operations plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and to include any cash distributions of earnings from our equity method investees. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation contained in this prospectus. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt.

        Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

•

does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

1

Table of Contents

•

does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;



•

does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;



•

excludes income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;



•

does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and



•

does not reflect management fees that were paid to our former sponsors.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

        In addition to historical information, this prospectus contains "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "forecast," "estimate," "project," "intend," "expect," "should," "believe" and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters.

        This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative but not exhaustive. In addition, new risks and uncertainties may arise from time to time. Accordingly, all forward- looking statements should be evaluated with an understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

        Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

        All subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

        Information regarding market share, market position and industry data pertaining to our business contained in this prospectus consists of our estimates based on data and reports compiled by industry professional organizations, including the Motion Picture Association of America ("MPAA"), the National Association of Theatre Owners ("NATO"), Rentrak Corporation ("Rentrak"), industry analysts and our management's knowledge of our business and markets. Unless otherwise noted in this prospectus, all information provided by the MPAA is for the 2014 calendar year, all information provided by NATO is for the 2014 calendar year and all information provided by Rentrak is for the 2014 calendar year.

        Although we believe that the sources are reliable, we have not independently verified market industry data provided by third parties or by industry or general publications. Similarly, while we believe our internal estimates with respect to our industry are reliable, our estimates have not been verified by any independent sources. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any industry data presented in this prospectus, our estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to changes based on various factors, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus.

TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risks described below before participating in the exchange offer. The risks described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business or results of operations in the future. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, you may lose all or part of your original investment in the notes.

Risks Related to our Notes and This Offering

You may have difficulty selling the original notes that you do not exchange.

        If you do not exchange your original notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your original notes described in the legend on your original notes. The restrictions on transfer of your original notes arise because we issued the original notes under exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may only offer or sell the original notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. Except as required by the registration rights agreements, we do not intend to register the original notes under the Securities Act. The tender of original notes under the exchange offer will reduce the principal amount of the currently outstanding original notes. Due to the corresponding reduction in liquidity, this may have an adverse effect upon, and increase the volatility of, the market price of any currently outstanding original notes that you continue to hold following completion of the exchange offer.

There is no established trading market for the exchange notes, and you may not be able to sell them quickly or at the price that you paid.

        The exchange notes are new issues of securities and will be freely transferrable, but there are currently no established trading markets for the exchange notes. Although the initial purchasers of the original notes have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the exchange notes, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making activities at any time without notice. Furthermore, such market-making activity will be subject to limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

        We also cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your exchange notes at a particular time or that the prices that you receive when you sell will be favorable. We also cannot assure you as to the level of liquidity of the trading market for the exchange notes or, in the case of any holders of the notes that do not exchange them, the trading market for the original notes following the exchange offer. Future trading prices of the exchange notes will depend on many factors, including:

•

our operating performance and financial condition;



•

our ability to complete the offer to exchange the original notes for the exchange notes;



•

the interest of securities dealers in making a market; and



•

the market for similar securities.

        Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused volatility in prices. It is possible that the market for the original notes and exchange notes will be subject to disruptions. Any disruptions may have a negative effect on noteholders, regardless of our prospects and financial performance.

Table of Contents

You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new, freely tradable exchange notes.

        Delivery of exchange notes in exchange for original notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of book-entry transfer of original notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, as depositary, including an agent's message (as defined herein). We are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders of original notes for exchange. Original notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but we do not accept for exchange will, following consummation of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and, upon consummation of the exchange offer certain registration and other rights under the registration rights agreements will terminate. See "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering" and "The Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

Some holders who exchange their original notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and these holders will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements in connection with any resale transaction.

        If you exchange your original notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction

Our substantial debt could adversely affect our operations and your investment in the notes.

        We have a significant amount of debt. As of March 31, 2015, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the private offering (and the application of the proceeds thereof), we would have had a outstanding $1,868.1 million of indebtedness, of which $600.0 million would have consisted of the notes, and the balance of which would have consisted of $758.1 million under our senior secured credit facility ($759.5 million face amount), a $6.9 million promissory note payable to NCM, $375.0 million of our existing subordinated notes due 2022 ($375.0 million face amount), $20.2 million of our existing subordinated notes due 2020 ($18.7 million face amount) and $107.8 million of existing capital and financing lease obligations, and up to $137.0 million was available for borrowing as additional senior debt under our senior secured credit facility. As of March 31, 2015, we also had approximately $3.5 billion of undiscounted rental payments under operating leases (with initial base terms generally between 5 and 20 years).

        The amount of our indebtedness and lease and other financial obligations could have important consequences to you as a holder of the notes. For example, it could:

•

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;



•

limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, dividend payments, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes;



•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of lease rentals and principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available to us for operations and any future business opportunities;



•

limit our planning flexibility for, or ability to react to, changes in our business and the industry; and



•

place us at a competitive disadvantage with competitors who may have less indebtedness and other obligations or greater access to financing.

        If we fail to make any required payment under our senior secured credit facility or to comply with any of the financial and operating covenants contained therein, we would be in default. Lenders under

15

Table of Contents

our senior secured credit facility could then vote to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness under the senior secured credit facility and foreclose upon the stock and personal property of our subsidiaries that is pledged to secure the senior secured credit facility. Other creditors might then accelerate other indebtedness. If the lenders under the senior secured credit facility accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness thereunder, we might not have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under the senior secured credit facility or our other indebtedness.

        Our indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility bears interest at rates that fluctuate with changes in certain prevailing interest rates (although, subject to certain conditions, such rates may be fixed for certain periods). If interest rates increase, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under the senior secured credit facility or our other indebtedness, including the notes.

Despite current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

        The terms of the indentures governing the notes and our existing notes, our senior secured credit facility and our other outstanding debt instruments will not fully prohibit us or our subsidiaries from incurring substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Moreover, none of our indentures, including the indenture governing the notes, impose any limitation on our incurrence of liabilities that are not considered "Indebtedness" under the indentures (such as operating leases), nor do they impose any limitation on liabilities incurred by subsidiaries, if any, that might be designated as "unrestricted subsidiaries." If new debt or other liabilities are added to our and our subsidiaries' current levels, the related risks that we and they now face could intensify.

If our cash flows prove inadequate to service our debt and provide for our other obligations, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or future debt at terms unfavorable to us.

        Our ability to make payments on and refinance our debt, including the notes, and other financial obligations and to fund our capital expenditures and acquisitions will depend on our ability to generate substantial operating cash flow. This will depend on our future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control. Our $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of existing senior subordinated notes due 2022 ($375.0 million face amount), our remaining $20.2 million in aggregate principal amount of existing senior subordinated notes due 2020 ($18.7 million face amount) after giving effect to the private offering (and application of the proceeds thereof) and the $758.1 million outstanding under our senior secured credit facility ($759.5 million face amount), in each case as of March 31, 2015, all have an earlier maturity date than that of the notes offered hereby, and we will be required to repay or refinance such indebtedness prior to when the notes come due. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect the private offering (and the application of the proceeds thereof) we would have a Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the indenture governing our existing senior subordinated notes) of approximately 4.74x. If our cash flows were to prove inadequate to meet our debt service, rental and other obligations in the future, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing or future debt, including these notes, on or before maturity, to sell assets or to obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facility and these notes, sell any such assets or obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

        In addition, all of our notes require us to repay or refinance those notes when they come due. If our cash flows were to prove inadequate to meet our debt service, rental and other obligations in the future, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing or future debt, including these notes, on or before maturity, to sell assets or to obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facility and

16

Table of Contents

these notes, sell any such assets or obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Your right to receive payments on these notes is junior to our senior secured credit facility and possibly all of our future borrowings, including any senior indebtedness. Further, the guarantees of these notes are junior to all our guarantors' existing senior indebtedness and possibly to all of our guarantors' future borrowings.

        The notes and the guarantees rank behind our senior secured credit facility, all of the guarantors' existing senior indebtedness and possibly all of our and the guarantors' future borrowings (other than trade payables), including any senior indebtedness, except any indebtedness that expressly provides that it ranks equal with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the notes and the guarantees. In the event of any distribution or payment of our assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, or other bankruptcy proceeding, the holders of our senior indebtedness and that of our guarantors will be entitled to be paid in full and in cash before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the guarantees. In addition, the notes and the guarantees will also be effectively subordinated to any debt that is secured to the extent of the value of the property securing such debt.

        In addition, all payment on the notes and the guarantees will be blocked in the event of a payment default on senior debt and may be blocked in the event of certain non-payment defaults on senior debt.

        In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or our guarantors, holders of the notes will participate with trade creditors and all other holders of our and the guarantors' senior subordinated indebtedness in assets remaining after we and the guarantors have paid all of our senior debt. However, because the indenture governing the notes requires that amounts otherwise payable to holders of the notes in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders of senior debt instead, holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of trade payables in any such proceeding. In any of these cases, we and the guarantors may not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors and holders of notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of our senior debt.

        As of March 31, 2015, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the private offering and the use of proceeds thereof, the notes and the guarantees would have been subordinated to $872.9 million of senior debt, and up to $137.0 million would have been available for borrowing as additional senior debt under our senior secured credit facility. We will be permitted to borrow substantial additional indebtedness, including senior debt, in the future under the terms of the indenture.

Our subsidiaries will only be required to guarantee the notes if they guarantee our other indebtedness, including our senior secured credit facility, and in certain circumstances, their guarantees will be subject to automatic release.

        Our existing and future subsidiaries will only be required to guarantee the notes if they guarantee other indebtedness of ours or any of the subsidiary guarantors, including our senior secured credit facility. If a subsidiary guarantor is released from its guarantee of such other indebtedness for any reason whatsoever, or if such other guaranteed indebtedness is repaid in full or refinanced with other indebtedness that is not guaranteed by such subsidiary guarantor, then such subsidiary guarantor also will be released from its guarantee of the notes.

The notes are effectively subordinated to the existing and future liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

        The notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of AMCE and the guarantors and rank behind in right of payment to AMCE's and the guarantors' other existing and future unsecured senior debt. The notes are not secured by any of our assets. Any future claims of secured lenders with respect to assets securing their loans will be prior to any claim of the holders of the notes with respect to those assets.

17

Table of Contents

        Since virtually all of our operations are conducted through subsidiaries, a significant portion of our cash flow and, consequently, our ability to service debt, including the notes, is dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and the transfer of funds by those subsidiaries to us in the form of dividends, payments of interest on intercompany indebtedness, or other transfers.

        Creditors of our non-guarantor subsidiaries would be entitled to a claim on the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries prior to any claims by us. Consequently, in the event of a liquidation or reorganization of any non- guarantor subsidiary, creditors of the non-guarantor subsidiary are likely to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us, except to the extent that we ourselves are recognized as a creditor of such non-guarantor subsidiary. Any of our claims as the creditor of our non-guarantor subsidiary would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of such non-guarantor subsidiary and any indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiary senior to that held by us.

        As of March 31, 2015, the notes would have been effectively junior to $19.2 million of indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries that are not guarantors would have accounted for approximately $1.5 million, or 0.2%, of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and approximately $48.1 million, or 1.0%, of our total assets and approximately $19.2 million, or 0.6%, of our total liabilities as of March 31, 2015.

Our senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our existing debt securities, including the original notes, contain covenants that may limit our ability to take advantage of certain business opportunities advantageous to us that may arise.

        Our senior secured credit facility and the indentures governing our debt securities, including the original notes, contain various covenants that limit our ability to, among other things:

•

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, including additional senior indebtedness;



•

pay dividends or make other distributions to our stockholders;



•

make restricted payments;



•

incur liens;



•

engage in transactions with affiliates; and



•

enter into business combinations.

        These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make acquisitions or needed capital expenditures, withstand economic downturns in our business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise.

        Although the indentures governing our outstanding debt securities contain a fixed charge coverage test that limits our ability to incur indebtedness, this limitation is subject to a number of significant exceptions and qualifications. Moreover, the indentures do not impose any limitation on our incurrence of capital or finance lease obligations or liabilities that are not considered "Indebtedness" under the indentures (such as operating leases), nor do they impose any limitation on the amount of liabilities incurred by subsidiaries, if any, that might designated as "unrestricted subsidiaries" (as defined herein). See "—Our substantial debt could adversely affect our operations and your investment in the notes" and "Description of Exchange Notes—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Consolidated Indebtedness".

        Furthermore, there are no restrictions in the indentures on our ability to invest in other entities (including unaffiliated entities or unrestricted subsidiaries) and no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to enter into agreements restricting their ability to pay dividends or otherwise transfer

18

Table of Contents

funds to us. Also, although the indentures limit our ability to make restricted payments, these restrictions are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications.

We must offer to repurchase the notes upon a change of control, which could also result in an event of default under our senior secured credit facility.

        The indenture governing the notes requires that, upon the occurrence of a "change of control", as such term is defined in the indenture, we must make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

        Certain events involving a change of control will result in an event of default under our senior secured credit facility and may result in an event of default under other indebtedness that we may incur in the future and would trigger a "change of control" under our existing notes. An event of default under our senior secured credit facility or other indebtedness could result in an acceleration of such indebtedness. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Change of Control". We cannot assure you that we would have sufficient resources to repurchase any of the notes or pay our obligations if the indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility or other indebtedness were accelerated upon the occurrence of a change of control. The acceleration of indebtedness would constitute events of default under the indenture governing the notes. No assurance can be given that the terms of any future indebtedness will not contain cross default provisions based upon a change of control or other defaults under such debt instruments.

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors.

        Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debt of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

•

received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee; and



•

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; or



•

was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or



•

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature; or



•

intended to hinder, delay or defraud creditors.

        In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

•

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the then fair saleable value of all of its assets;



•

if the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debt, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

19

Table of Contents

•

it could not pay its debts as they become due.

        On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that each guarantor, after giving effect to its guarantee of the notes, will not be insolvent, will not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged and will not have incurred debt beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

Risks Related to Our Industry and Business

We have no control over distributors of the films and our business may be adversely affected if our access to motion pictures is limited or delayed.

        We rely on distributors of motion pictures, over whom we have no control, for the films that we exhibit. Major motion picture distributors are required by law to offer and license film to exhibitors, including us, on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Consequently, we cannot assure ourselves of a supply of motion pictures by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must compete for our licenses on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Our business depends on maintaining good relations with these distributors, as this affects our ability to negotiate commercially favorable licensing terms for first-run films or to obtain licenses at all. With only 7 distributors representing approximately 89% of the U.S. box office in 2014, there is a high level of concentration in the industry. Our business may be adversely affected if our access to motion pictures is limited or delayed because of deterioration in our relationships with one or more distributors or for some other reason. To the extent that we are unable to license a popular film for exhibition in our theatres, our operating results may be adversely affected.

We depend on motion picture production and performance.

        Our ability to operate successfully depends upon the availability, diversity and appeal of motion pictures, our ability to license motion pictures and the performance of such motion pictures in our markets. The most attended films are usually released during the summer and the calendar year-end holidays, making our business highly seasonal. We license first-run motion pictures, the success of which has increasingly depended on the marketing efforts of the major motion picture studios. Poor performance of, or any disruption in the production of these motion pictures (including by reason of a strike or lack of adequate financing), or a reduction in the marketing efforts of the major motion picture studios, could hurt our business and results of operations. Conversely, the successful performance of these motion pictures, particularly the sustained success of any one motion picture, or an increase in effective marketing efforts of the major motion picture studios, may generate positive results for our business and operations in a specific fiscal quarter or year that may not necessarily be indicative of, or comparable to, future results of operations. As movie studios rely on a smaller number of higher grossing "tent pole" films there may be increased pressure for higher film licensing fees. In addition, a change in the type and breadth of movies offered by motion picture studios may adversely affect the demographic base of moviegoers.

Limitations on the availability of capital may prevent deployment of strategic initiatives.

        Our key strategic initiatives, including recliner re-seats, enhanced food and beverage and premium sight & sound, require significant capital expenditures to implement. Our gross capital expenditures aggregated approximately $270.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $260.8 million, $72.8 million, and $40.1 million during year ended December 31, 2013, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, respectively. We estimate that our gross cash outflows for capital expenditures will be approximately $320.0 million to

20

Table of Contents

$340.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2015. The lack of available capital resources due to business performance or other financial commitments could prevent or delay the deployment of innovations in our theatres. We may have to seek additional financing or issue additional securities to fully implement our growth strategy. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain new financing on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, covenants under our existing indebtedness limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, and the performance of any additional or improved theatres may not be sufficient to service the related indebtedness that we are permitted to incur.

We have had significant financial losses in previous years.

        Prior to fiscal 2007, we had reported net losses in each of the prior nine fiscal years totaling approximately $510.1 million. For fiscal 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, the period March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, the period August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the year ended 2013, and the year ended 2014, we reported net earnings (losses) of $134.1 million, $43.4 million, $(81.1) million, $69.8 million, $(122.9) million, $(82.0) million, $94.4 million, $(42.7) million, $364.4 million, and $64.1 million, respectively. If we experience poor financial results in the future, we may be unable to meet our payment obligations while attempting to expand our theatre circuit and withstand competitive pressures or adverse economic conditions.

We may be limited in our ability to utilize, or may not be able to utilize, net operating loss carryforwards to reduce our future tax liability.

        As of December 31, 2014, we had an estimated federal income tax loss carryforward of $649.8 million and estimated state income tax loss carryforward of $409.7 million which will be limited annually due to certain change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 382. Our federal tax loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2016 and will completely expire in 2034. Our state tax loss carryforwards may be used over various periods ranging from 1 to 20 years.

        We have experienced numerous "ownership changes" within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the Merger (as defined herein). These ownership changes have and will continue to subject our tax loss carryforwards to annual limitations which will restrict our ability to use them to offset our taxable income in periods following the ownership changes. In general, the annual use limitation equals the aggregate value of our equity at the time of the ownership change multiplied by a specified tax-exempt interest rate.

We are subject, at times, to intense competition.

        Our theatres are subject to varying degrees of competition in the geographic areas in which we operate. Competitors may be national circuits, regional circuits or smaller independent exhibitors. Competition among theatre exhibition companies is often intense with respect to the following factors:

•

Attracting patrons.  The competition for patrons is dependent upon factors such as the availability of popular motion pictures, the location and number of theatres and screens in a market, the comfort and quality of the theatres and pricing. Many of our competitors have sought to increase the number of screens that they operate. Competitors have built or may be planning to build theatres in certain areas where we operate, which could result in excess capacity and increased competition for patrons.



•

Licensing motion pictures.  We believe that the principal competitive factors with respect to film licensing include licensing terms, number of seats and screens available for a particular picture, revenue potential and the location and condition of an exhibitor's theatres.



•

New sites and acquisitions.  We must compete with exhibitors and others in our efforts to locate and acquire attractive new and existing sites for our theatres. There can be no assurance that we

21

Table of Contents

will be able to acquire such new sites or existing theatres at reasonable prices or on favorable terms. Moreover, some of these competitors may be stronger financially than we are. As a result of the foregoing, we may not succeed in acquiring theatres or may have to pay more than we would prefer to make an acquisition.

        The theatrical exhibition industry also faces competition from other forms of out-of-home entertainment, such as concerts, amusement parks and sporting events and from other distribution channels for filmed entertainment, such as cable television, pay-per-view and home video systems and from other forms of in-home entertainment.

An increase in the use of alternative film delivery methods or other forms of entertainment may drive down our attendance and limit our ticket prices.

        We compete with other film delivery methods, including network, syndicated cable and satellite television and DVDs, as well as video-on-demand, pay-per-view services, video streaming and downloads via the Internet. We also compete for the public's leisure time and disposable income with other forms of entertainment, including sporting events, amusement parks, live music concerts, live theatre and restaurants. An increase in the popularity of these alternative film delivery methods and other forms of entertainment could reduce attendance at our theatres, limit the prices we can charge for admission and materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our results of operations may be impacted by shrinking theatrical exclusive release windows.

        Over the last decade, the average theatrical exclusive release window, which represents the time that elapses from the date of a film's theatrical release to the date a film is available on DVD or similar on-demand release to an important downstream market, has decreased from approximately six months to approximately three to four months. If patrons choose to wait for a DVD release, video streaming or other home entertainment options rather than attend a theatre for viewing the film, it may adversely impact our business and results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In 2011, several major film studios have tested premium video-on-demand products released in homes approximately 60 days after a movie's theatrical debut, which threatened the length of the release window. In January 2015, Amazon Studios announced its intention to produce and acquire original movies for theatrical release with video streaming available just 4 to 8 weeks after their theatrical debut. We cannot assure you that this release window, which is determined by the film studios, will not shrink further or be eliminated altogether, which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

General political, social and economic conditions can reduce our attendance.

        Our success depends on general political, social and economic conditions and the willingness of consumers to spend money at movie theatres. If going to motion pictures becomes less popular or consumers spend less on food and beverage, which accounted for 29.6% of our revenues in calendar 2014, our operations could be adversely affected. In addition, our operations could be adversely affected if consumers' discretionary income falls as a result of an economic downturn. Geopolitical events, including the threat of domestic terrorism or cyber- attacks, could cause people to avoid our theatres or other public places where large crowds are in attendance. In addition, due to our concentration in certain markets, natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes in those markets could adversely affect our overall results of operations.

22

Table of Contents

We are subject to substantial government regulation, which could entail significant cost.

        We are subject to various federal, state and local laws, regulations and administrative practices affecting our business, and we must comply with provisions regulating antitrust, health and sanitation standards, equal employment, environmental, and licensing for the sale of food and, in some theatres, alcoholic beverages. Our new theatre openings could be delayed or prevented or our existing theatres could be impacted by difficulties or failures in our ability to obtain or maintain required approvals or licenses. Changes in existing laws or implementation of new laws, regulations and practices could have a significant impact on our business. A significant portion of our theatre level employees are part time workers who are paid at or near the applicable minimum wage in the theatre's jurisdiction. Increases in the minimum wage and implementation of reforms requiring the provision of additional benefits will increase our labor costs.

        We are presently cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities in connection with certain Civil Investigative Demands ("CIDs") received from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, the Antitrust Section of the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Ohio and the Antitrust Section of the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General of Texas concerning potentially anticompetitive conduct, including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures. We may receive additional CIDs from antitrust authorities in other jurisdictions in which we operate. Although we do not believe we have violated federal or state antitrust laws, we cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these or any other current or future federal or state governmental investigations or reviews of our conduct. See "Business—Legal Proceedings".

        We own and operate facilities throughout the United States and are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of those jurisdictions, particularly laws governing the cleanup of hazardous materials and the management of properties. We might in the future be required to participate in the cleanup of a property that we own or lease, or at which we have been alleged to have disposed of hazardous materials from one of our facilities. In certain circumstances, we might be solely responsible for any such liability under environmental laws, and such claims could be material.

        Our theatres must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA. Compliance with the ADA requires that public accommodations "reasonably accommodate" individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to "commercial facilities" conform to accessibility guidelines unless "structurally impracticable" for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. Non-compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, fines, and an award of damages to private litigants or additional capital expenditures to remedy such noncompliance.

We may be reviewed by antitrust authorities in connection with acquisition opportunities that would increase our number of theatres in markets where we have a leading market share.

        Given our size and market share, pursuit of acquisition opportunities that would increase the number of our theatres in markets where we have a leading market share would likely result in significant review by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and States' Attorneys General, and we may be required to dispose of theatres in order to complete such acquisition opportunities. For example, in connection with the acquisition of Kerasotes, we were required to dispose of 11 theatres located in various markets across the United States, including Chicago, Denver and Indianapolis. As a result, we may not be able to succeed in acquiring other exhibition companies or we may have to dispose of a significant number of theatres in key markets in order to complete such acquisitions.

We depend on key personnel for our current and future performance.

        Our current and future performance depends to a significant degree upon the retention of our senior management team and other key personnel. The loss or unavailability to us of any member of our senior management team or a key employee could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we would be able to locate or employ qualified replacements for senior management or key employees on acceptable terms.

Optimizing our theatre circuit through new construction and the transformation of our existing theatres may be subject to delay and unanticipated costs.

        The availability of attractive site locations for new construction is subject to various factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:

•

local conditions, such as scarcity of space or increase in demand for real estate, demographic changes and changes in zoning and tax laws; and



•

competition for site locations from both theatre companies and other businesses.

        We typically require 18 to 24 months in the United States from the time we reach an agreement with a landlord to when a theatre opens.

        In addition, the improvement of our existing theatres through our enhanced food and beverage and recliner re-seat initiatives is subject to substantial risks, such as difficulty in obtaining permits, landlord approvals and new types of operating licenses (e.g. liquor licenses). We may also experience cost overruns from delays or other unanticipated costs in both new construction and facility improvements. Furthermore, our new sites and transformed locations may not perform to our expectations.

We may not achieve the expected benefits and performance from our strategic theatre acquisitions.

        In any acquisition, we expect to benefit from cost savings through, for example, the reduction of overhead and theatre level costs, and from revenue enhancements resulting from the acquisition. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from these acquisitions to service any indebtedness incurred to finance such acquisitions or realize any other anticipated benefits. Nor can there be any assurance that our profitability will be improved by any one or more acquisitions. Although we have a long history of successfully integrating acquisitions, any acquisition may involve operating risks, such as:

•

the difficulty of assimilating and integrating the acquired operations and personnel into our current business;



•

the potential disruption of our ongoing business;



•

the diversion of management's attention and other resources;



•

the possible inability of management to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;



•

the risks of entering markets in which we have little or no experience;



•

the potential impairment of relationships with employees;



•

the possibility that any liabilities we may incur or assume may prove to be more burdensome than anticipated; and



•

the possibility that the acquired theatres do not perform as expected.

We rely on our information systems to conduct our business, and any failure to protect these systems against security breaches or failure of these systems themselves could adversely affect our business, results of operations and liquidity and could result in litigation and penalties. Additionally, if these systems fail or become unavailable for any significant period of time, our business could be harmed.

        The efficient operation of our business is dependent on computer hardware and software systems. Among other things, these systems collect and store certain personal information from customers, vendors and employees and process customer payment information. Additionally, open source internet ticketing allows tickets for all of our theatres to be sold by various third party vendors on websites using information systems we do not control. Our information systems and those maintained by our third party vendors and the sensitive data they are designed to protect are vulnerable to security breaches by computer hackers, cyber terrorists and other cyber attackers. We rely on industry accepted security measures and technology to securely maintain confidential and proprietary information maintained on our information systems, and we rely on our third party vendors to take appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality of the information on those information systems. However, these measures and technology may not adequately prevent security breaches. Our information systems may become unavailable or fail to perform as anticipated for any reason, including viruses, loss of power or human error. Any significant interruption or failure of our information systems or those maintained by our third party vendors or any significant breach of security could adversely affect our reputation with our customers, vendors and employees and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and liquidity and could result in litigation against us or the imposition of penalties. A significant interruption, failure or breach of the security of our information systems or those of our third party vendors could also require us to expend significant resources to upgrade the security measures and technology that guard sensitive data against computer hackers, cyber terrorists and other cyber attackers. We maintain cyber risk insurance coverage to protect against such risks, however, there can be no assurance that such coverage will be adequate.

Our investment in and revenues from NCM may be negatively impacted by the competitive environment in which NCM operates.

        We have maintained an investment in NCM. NCM's in-theatre advertising operations compete with other cinema advertising companies and other advertising mediums including, most notably, television, newspaper, radio and the Internet. There can be no guarantee that in-theatre advertising will continue to attract major advertisers or that NCM's in-theatre advertising format will be favorably received by the theatre-going public. If NCM is unable to generate expected sales of advertising, it may not maintain the level of profitability we hope to achieve, its results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected and our investment in and revenues and dividends from NCM may be adversely impacted.

We may suffer future impairment losses and theatre and other closure charges.

        The opening of new theatres by us and certain of our competitors has drawn audiences away from some of our older theatres. In addition, demographic changes and competitive pressures have caused some of our theatres to become unprofitable. Since not all theatres are appropriate for our new initiatives, we may have to close certain theatres or recognize impairment losses related to the decrease in value of particular theatres. We review long-lived assets, including intangibles, marketable securities and non-consolidated entities for impairment as part of our annual budgeting process and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We recognized non-cash impairment losses in 1996 and in each fiscal year thereafter except for 2005, the Transition Period and calendar 2013. Our impairment losses of long-lived assets from continuing operations over this period aggregated to $301.3 million. Beginning fiscal 1999 through December 31, 2014, we also incurred theatre and other closure expenses, including theatre lease

25

Table of Contents

termination charges aggregating approximately $153.7 million. Deterioration in the performance of our theatres could require us to recognize additional impairment losses and close additional theatres, which could have an adverse effect on the results of our operations. We continually monitor the performance of our theatres, and factors such as changing consumer preferences for filmed entertainment in international markets and our inability to sublease vacant retail space could negatively impact operating results and result in future closures, sales, dispositions and significant theatre and other closure charges prior to expiration of underlying lease agreements.

Our business could be adversely affected if we incur legal liability.

        We are subject to, and in the future may become a party to, a variety of litigation or other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Regardless of the merits of the claims, the cost to defend current and future litigation may be significant, and such matters can be time-consuming and divert management's attention and resources. The results of litigation and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and adverse judgments or settlements in some or all of these legal disputes may result in materially adverse monetary damages, penalties or injunctive relief against us. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or to obtain adequate insurance in the future.

        While we maintain insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions as well as caps on amounts recoverable. Even if we believe a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute our entitlement to recovery for a variety of potential reasons, which may affect the timing and, if they prevail, the amount of our recovery.

As a result of the IPO, Holdings and certain of its domestic affiliates may not be able to file a consolidated tax return which could result in increased tax liability.

        On December 23, 2013, Holdings completed an initial public offering (the"IPO") of its Class A common stock. Prior to the IPO, Holdings and certain of its domestic affiliates (the "AMC affiliated tax group") were members of a consolidated group for federal income tax purposes, of which a Wanda domestic subsidiary is the common parent. As a result of Holdings' Class A common stock offering, the AMC affiliated tax group ceased to be members of the Wanda federal consolidated group. The AMC affiliated tax group will not be permitted to file a consolidated return for federal income tax purposes for five years, however, unless we obtain a waiver from the Internal Revenue Service. It is uncertain whether we will obtain a waiver if we seek one. If we do not obtain a waiver, each member of the AMC affiliated tax group will be required to file a separate federal income tax return, and, as a result, the income (and tax liability) of a member will only be offset by its own tax loss carryforwards (and other tax attributes) and not by tax loss carryforwards, current year losses or other tax attributes of other members of the group. We believe that we should not incur substantial additional federal tax liability if we are not permitted to file a federal consolidated return, because (i) most of our revenues are generated by a single member of the AMC affiliated tax group and most of our tax loss carryforwards are attributable to such member and (ii) there are certain other beneficial aspects of the structure of the AMC affiliated tax group. We cannot assure you, however, that we will not incur substantial additional tax liability if the AMC affiliated tax group is not permitted to file a federal consolidated return for five years.

Holdings' controlling shareholder owns more than 91% of the combined voting power of Holdings' common stock and has significant influence over our corporate management and affairs.

        Holdings' Class B common stock has three votes per share, and Holdings' Class A common stock, which is the publicly traded stock, has one vote per share. As of March 31, 2015, Wanda owns approximately 75,826,927 shares of Class B common stock, or 77.85% of Holdings' outstanding

26

Table of Contents

common stock, representing approximately 91.34% of the voting power of Holdings' outstanding common stock. As such, Wanda has significant influence over our reporting and corporate management and affairs, and, because of the three-to-one voting ratio between Holdings' Class B and Class A common stock, Wanda will continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of Holdings' common stock and therefore be able to control all matters submitted to Holdings' stockholders for approval (including election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers) so long as the shares of Class B common stock owned by Wanda and its permitted transferees represent at least 30% of all outstanding shares of Holdings' Class A and Class B common stock. The shares of Holdings' Class B common stock automatically convert to shares of Class A common stock upon Wanda and its permitted transferees holding less than 30% of all outstanding shares of Holdings' Class A and Class B common stock.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

        We have entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the original notes, in which we agreed to file a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the original notes for exchange notes. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part was filed in compliance with this obligation. We also agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file the registration statement with the SEC and to cause it to become effective under the Securities Act. The exchange notes will have terms substantially identical to the original notes except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions and registration rights and additional interest payable for the failure to consummate the exchange offer by the dates set forth in the registration rights agreement. Original notes in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 were issued on June 5, 2015.

        Following the completion of the exchange offer, holders of original notes not tendered will not have any further registration rights other than as set forth in the paragraphs below, and, subject to certain exceptions, the original notes will continue to be subject to certain restrictions on transfer.

        Subject to certain conditions, including the representations set forth below, the exchange notes will be issued without a restrictive legend and generally may be reoffered and resold without registration under the Securities Act. In order to participate in the exchange offer, a holder must represent to us in writing, or be deemed to represent to us in writing, among other things, that:

•

holder is not an "affiliate" of ours, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act;



•

the holder is not engaged and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes;



•

the holder is acquiring the exchange notes in its ordinary course of business;



•

if such holder is a broker-dealer, such holder has acquired the exchange notes for its own account in exchange for the original notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than original notes acquired directly from us or any of its affiliates) and that it will meet the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the exchange notes (including delivery of a prospectus); and



•

the holder is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully and completely make the representations contained in the foregoing bullet points.

        Under certain circumstances specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, we may be required to file a "shelf" registration statement covering resales of the original notes pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

        Based on an interpretation by the SEC's staff set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties unrelated to us, we believe that, with the exceptions set forth below, the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by the holder of exchange notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, unless the holder:

•

is an "affiliate," within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of ours;



•

is a broker-dealer that purchased original notes directly from us for resale under Rule 144A or Regulation S or any other available exemption under the Securities Act;



•

acquired the exchange notes other than in the ordinary course of the holder's business;



•

has an arrangement with any person to engage in the distribution of the exchange notes; or

28

Table of Contents

•

is prohibited by any law or policy of the SEC from participating in the exchange offer.

        Any holder who tenders in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes cannot rely on this interpretation by the SEC's staff and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction. Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for original notes, where such original notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange note. See "Plan of Distribution." Broker-dealers who acquired original notes directly from us and not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may not rely on the staff's interpretations discussed above, and must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to sell the exchange notes.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all original notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2015, or such date and time to which we extend the exchange offer. We will issue $1,000 in principal amount of exchange notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of original notes accepted in the exchange offer. Holders may tender some or all of their original notes pursuant to the exchange offer. Original notes may be tendered only in a denomination equal to $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

        The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the original notes and will be issued under the terms of, and entitled to the benefits of, the indenture relating to the original notes.

        As of the date of this prospectus, $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of original notes are outstanding. This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is being sent to the registered holders of the original notes. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act.

        We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered original notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to U.S. Bank National Association, which is acting as the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the exchange notes from us. If any tendered original notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth under the heading "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer," any such unaccepted original notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder of those original notes promptly after the expiration date unless the exchange offer is extended.

        Holders who tender original notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of original notes in the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes, applicable to the exchange offer. See "—Fees and Expenses."

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments

        The expiration date shall be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2015, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the expiration date shall be the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended. In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent by oral or written notice prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date and will also disseminate notice of any extension by press release or other public announcement prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time on such date. Any

29

Table of Contents

such announcement will include the approximate number of securities deposited as of the date of the extension. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

•

to delay accepting any original notes, to extend the exchange offer or, if any of the conditions set forth under "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" shall not have been satisfied, to terminate the exchange offer, by giving oral or written notice of that delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; or



•

to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

        Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the registered holders of the original notes. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose the amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of original notes of that amendment, and it will extend the offer period, if necessary, so that at least five business days remain in the offer following notice of the material change.

Procedures for Tendering

        When a holder of original notes tenders, and we accept such notes for exchange pursuant to that tender, a binding agreement between us and the tendering holder is created, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal. Except as set forth below, a holder of original notes who wishes to tender such notes for exchange must, on or prior to the expiration date:

transmit a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, including all other documents required by such letter of transmittal, to U.S. Bank National Association, which will act as the exchange agent, at the address set forth below under the heading "—Exchange Agent"; or



•

comply with DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP, procedures described below.

        In addition, either:

•

the exchange agent must receive the certificates for the original notes and the letter of transmittal;



•

the exchange agent must receive, prior to the expiration date, a timely confirmation of the book-entry transfer of the original notes being tendered, along with the letter of transmittal or an agent's message; or



•

the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

        The term "agent's message" means a message, transmitted to DTC and received by the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry transfer, or "book-entry confirmation," which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement that the tendering holder agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against such holder.

        The method of delivery of the original notes, the letters of transmittal and all other required documents is at the election and risk of the holders. If such delivery is by mail, we recommend registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. No letters of transmittal or original notes should be sent directly to us.

        Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the original notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

•

by a registered holder of the original notes; or

30

Table of Contents

•

for the account of an eligible institution.

        An "eligible institution" is a firm which is a member of a registered national securities exchange or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States.

        If original notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the letter of transmittal, the original notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange, in satisfactory form to the exchange agent and as determined by us in our sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder with the holder's signature guaranteed by an eligible institution.

        We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of original notes tendered for exchange in our sole discretion. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to:

•

reject any and all tenders of any outstanding note improperly tendered;



•

refuse to accept any outstanding note if, in our judgment or the judgment of our counsel, acceptance of the outstanding note may be deemed unlawful; and



•

waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular outstanding note based on the specific facts or circumstances presented either before or after the expiration date, including the right to waive the ineligibility of any holder who seeks to tender original notes in the exchange offer.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not expect to treat any holder of original notes differently from other holders to the extent they present the same facts or circumstances.

        Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular original notes either before or after the expiration date, including the letter of transmittal and the instructions to it, will be final and binding on all parties. Holders must cure any defects and irregularities in connection with tenders of original notes for exchange within such reasonable period of time as we will determine, unless we waive such defects or irregularities.

        Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of original notes for exchange, nor shall any of us incur any liability for failure to give such notification.

        If trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity sign the letter of transmittal or any original notes or any power of attorney, these persons should so indicate when signing, and you must submit proper evidence satisfactory to us of those persons' authority to so act unless we waive this requirement.

        By tendering, each holder will represent to us that the person acquiring exchange notes in the exchange offer, whether or not that person is the holder, is obtaining them in the ordinary course of its business, and at the time of the commencement of the exchange offer neither the holder nor, to the knowledge of such holder, that other person receiving exchange notes from such holder has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act. If any holder or any other person receiving exchange notes from such holder is an "affiliate," as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of us, or is engaged in or intends to engage in or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act to be acquired in the exchange offer, the holder or any other person:

•

may not rely on applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC; and

31

Table of Contents

•

must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

        Each broker-dealer that acquired its original notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and thereafter receives exchange notes issued for its own account in the exchange offer, must acknowledge that it will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act (including, but not limited to, delivering this prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes issued in the exchange offer). The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution" for a discussion of the exchange and resale obligations of broker-dealers.

Acceptance of Original notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes Issued in the Exchange Offer

        Upon satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept, promptly after the expiration date, all original notes properly tendered and will issue exchange notes registered under the Securities Act in exchange for the tendered original notes. For purposes of the exchange offer, we shall be deemed to have accepted properly tendered original notes for exchange when, as and if we have given oral or written notice to the exchange agent, with written confirmation of any oral notice to be given promptly thereafter, and complied with the applicable provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. See "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" for a discussion of the conditions that must be satisfied before we accept any original notes for exchange.

        For each outstanding note accepted for exchange, the holder will receive an exchange note registered under the Securities Act having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered outstanding note. Registered holders of exchange notes issued in the exchange offer on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the issue date of the original notes. Holders of exchange notes will not receive any payment in respect of accrued interest on original notes otherwise payable on any interest payment date, the record date for which occurs on or after the consummation of the exchange offer. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we may be required to make payments of additional interest to the holders of the original notes under circumstances relating to the timing of the exchange offer.

        In all cases, we will issue exchange notes for original notes that are accepted for exchange only after the exchange agent timely receives:

•

certificates for such original notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such original notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC;



•

a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or an agent's message; and



•

all other required documents.

        If for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer we do not accept any tendered original notes, or if a holder submits original notes for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, we will return such unaccepted or nonexchanged notes without cost to the tendering holder. In the case of original notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC, the nonexchanged notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC.

        We will return the original notes or have them credited to DTC, promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Book-Entry Transfer

        The participant should transmit its acceptance to DTC on or prior to the expiration date or comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. DTC will verify the acceptance and then send to the exchange agent confirmation of the book-entry transfer. The confirmation of the book- entry transfer will be deemed to include an agent's message confirming that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against such participant. Delivery of exchange notes issued in the exchange offer may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC. However, the letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof or an agent's message, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must:

•

be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth below under "—The Exchange Agent" on or prior to the expiration date; or



•

comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

        DTC's ATOP program is the only method of processing the exchange offer through DTC. To tender original notes through ATOP, participants in DTC must send electronic instructions to DTC through DTC's communication system. In addition, such tendering participants should deliver a copy of the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent unless an agent's message is transmitted in lieu thereof. DTC is obligated to communicate those electronic instructions to the exchange agent through an agent's message. Any instruction through ATOP, such as an agent's message, is at your risk and such instruction will be deemed made only when actually received by the exchange agent.

        In order for your tender through ATOP to be valid, an agent's message must be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with. Delivery of instructions to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

        If a holder of original notes desires to tender such notes and the holder's original notes are not immediately available, or time will not permit the holder's original notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected if:

•

the holder tenders the original notes through an eligible institution;



•

prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible institution a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, acceptable to us, by facsimile transmission (receipt confirmed by telephone and an original delivered by guaranteed overnight courier), mail or hand delivery, setting forth the name and address of the holder of the original notes tendered, the names in which such original notes are registered, if applicable, the certificate number or numbers of such original notes and the amount of the original notes being tendered. The notice of guaranteed delivery shall state that the tender is being made and guarantee that within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the certificates for all physically tendered original notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or agent's message with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and



•

the exchange agent receives the certificates for all physically tendered original notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, together with a properly

33

Table of Contents

completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or agent's message with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

Withdrawal of Tenders

        You may withdraw tenders of your original notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

        For a withdrawal to be effective, you must send a written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent at the address set forth below under "—Exchange Agent." Any such notice of withdrawal must:

•

specify the name of the person that has tendered the original notes to be withdrawn; identify the original notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of such original notes; and



•

where certificates for original notes are transmitted, specify the name in which original notes are registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder.

        If certificates for original notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution unless such holder is an eligible institution. If original notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC, as applicable, to be credited with the withdrawn notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility.

        We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any tendered notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any original notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder. In the case of original notes tendered by book- entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC, the original notes withdrawn will be credited to an account at the book-entry transfer facility. The original notes will be returned promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn original notes may be re-tendered by following one of the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering" above at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

        Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, we may (a) refuse to accept any original notes and return all tendered original notes to the tendering holders, (b) extend the exchange offer and retain all original notes tendered before the expiration of the exchange offer, subject, however, to the rights of holders to withdraw those original notes, or (c) waive the unsatisfied conditions with respect to the exchange offer and accept all properly tendered original notes that have not been withdrawn, if we determine, in our reasonable judgment, that (i) the exchange offer violates applicable laws or, any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC; (ii) an action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency which might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer or a material adverse development shall have occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to us; or (iii) all governmental approvals that we deem necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer have not been obtained.

        The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time and from time to time. The failure by us at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be

34

Table of Contents

deemed a waiver of any of those rights and each of those rights shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

        In addition, we will not accept for exchange any original notes tendered, and no exchange notes will be issued in exchange for those original notes, if at such time any stop order shall be threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. In any of those events we are required to use every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any stop order at the earliest possible time.

Effect of Not Tendering

        Holders who desire to tender their original notes in exchange for exchange notes registered under the Securities Act should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Neither the exchange agent nor we are under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of original notes for exchange.

        Original notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the consummation of the exchange offer, continue to accrue interest and to be subject to the provisions in the indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the original notes and the existing restrictions on transfer set forth in the legend on the original notes and in the prospectus relating to the original notes. After completion of the exchange offer, we will have no further obligation to provide for the registration under the Securities Act of those original notes except in limited circumstances with respect to specific types of holders of original notes and we do not intend to register the original notes under the Securities Act. In general, original notes, unless registered under the Securities Act, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Exchange Agent

        All executed letters of transmittal should be directed to the exchange agent. U.S. Bank National Association has been appointed as exchange agent for the exchange offer. Questions, requests for assistance and requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal should be directed to the exchange agent addressed as follows:

Fees and Expenses

        We will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. The estimated cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer will be paid by us and will include fees and expenses of the exchange agent, legal, printing and related fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of the original notes shall pay all agency fees and commissions and underwriting discounts and commissions, if any, attributable to the sale of such original notes or exchange notes.

35

Table of Contents

Accounting Treatment

        We will record the exchange notes at the same carrying value as the original notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes as the terms of the exchange notes are substantially identical to those of the original notes. The expenses of the exchange offer will be amortized over the terms of the exchange notes.

Transfer Taxes

        Holders who tender their original notes in exchange for exchange notes will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with that tender or exchange, except that holders who instruct us to issue exchange notes in the name of, or request that original notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder will be responsible for the payment of any applicable transfer tax on those original notes. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exception therefrom is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of original notes shall pay transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of such original notes or of any exchange notes received in connection with this exchange offer. If a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer and exchange of original notes to the Company or its order pursuant to the exchange offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person) will be payable by the applicable holder.

36

USE OF PROCEEDS

        The exchange offer is intended to satisfy certain of our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in the exchange offer. In exchange for the exchange notes, we will receive original notes in like principal amount. We will retire or cancel all of the original notes tendered in the exchange offer. Accordingly, issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any change in our capitalization.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

        The following selected historical financial and operating data set forth our historical financial and operating data for (i) the three months ended March 31, 2015, (ii) the three months ended March 31, 2014, (iii) the Successor twelve months ended December 31, 2014, (iv) the Successor twelve months ended December 31, 2013, (v) the Successor period from inception August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and (vi) the Predecessor period from March 30, 2012 through August 30, 2012, and they have been derived from our consolidated financial statements and related notes for such periods. The historical financial data set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to our consolidated financial statements and the notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        In August 2012, Holdings was acquired by Wanda, one of the largest, privately held conglomerates in China (the "Merger"). In connection with the change of control due to the Merger, the Company's assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value on the closing date of the Merger by application of "push down" accounting. As a result of the application of "push down" accounting in connection with the Merger, the Company's financial statement presentations herein distinguish between a predecessor period ("Predecessor"), for periods prior to the Merger, and a successor period ("Successor"), for periods subsequent to the Merger. The Successor applied "push down" accounting and its financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Merger date. The consolidated financial statements presented herein are those of Successor from its inception on August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2013, and those of Predecessor for all periods prior to the Merger date. As a result of the application of "push down" accounting at the time of the Merger, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on different bases and are, therefore, not comparable.

        The selected historical financial and operating data presented below should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and

our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus.
