  Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
  
        (a)  On November 24, 1997, certain subsidiaries of AMC
  Entertainment  Inc.  (the "Company") sold  the  following  8
  megaplex theatres to Entertainment Properties Trust ("EPT"),
  a  real  estate investment trust, for an aggregate  purchase
  price of $162.7 million:
  
            Theatre Name             Metropolitan Area
  
            Grand 24                 Dallas, TX
            Mission Valley 20        San Diego, CA
            Promenade 16             Los Angeles, CA
            Ontario Mills 30         Los Angeles, CA
            Lennox 24                Columbus, OH
            West Olive 16            St. Louis, MO
            Studio 30                Houston, TX
            Huebner Oaks 24          San Antonio, TX
  
        Proceeds  from  the sale were applied to  indebtedness
  under the Company's existing credit facility.
  
       The purchase price was based on the cost to the Company
  of developing and constructing each theatre.
  
        Concurrent  with  the sale of the  theatres,  American
  Multi-Cinema,  Inc. ("AMC"), a subsidiary  of  the  Company,
  leased  the  theatres  from EPT pursuant  to  non-cancelable
  operating leases with terms ranging from 13 to 15  years  at
  an initial lease rate of 10.5% with options to extend for up
  to an additional 20 years.  The Company has guaranteed AMC's
  obligations  under the leases.  The leases  are  triple  net
  leases  that  require AMC to pay substantially all  expenses
  associated with the operation of the theatres, such as taxes
  and   other   governmental  charges,  insurance,  utilities,
  service, maintenance and any ground lease payments.
  
        The  sale of the theatres was pursuant to an Agreement
  of  Sale and Purchase which provides for the sale to EPT  of
  four  additional  theatres  under  construction,  the  First
  Colony   24  (Houston,  Texas),  the  Oak  View  24  (Omaha,
  Nebraska),   the  Leawood  Town  Center  20  (Kansas   City,
  Missouri/Kansas)  and  the  South  Barrington  30  (Chicago,
  Illinois).   The  aggregate sale price  of  these  theatres,
  based  on  the cost to the Company of their development  and
  construction   (subject   to  a  maximum   cap),   will   be
  approximately $86.1 million.  AMC also has granted an option
  to EPT to acquire two other theatres under construction, the
  Cantera  30 (Chicago, Illinois) and the Livonia 20 (Detroit,
  Michigan),  for  the cost to the Company of  developing  and
  constructing such properties, together with certain adjacent
  land  parcels.   Concurrent with the sale of  the  theatres,
  AMC,  EPT  and  the  Company  will  enter  into  leases  and
  guarantees  with respect to such theatres similar  to  those
  referred to above.
  
        The  Company also has entered into a Right to Purchase
  Agreement with EPT granting EPT a right of first refusal and
  first  offer  to acquire and lease back to the  Company  any
  megaplex theatre and related entertainment property acquired
  or  developed and owned (or ground-leased) by the Company or
  its  subsidiaries,  exercisable  for  five  years  upon  the
  Company's intended disposition of such property.
  
       Peter C. Brown is President and Chief Financial Officer
  and  a Director of the Company, Executive Vice President and
  Chief  Financial Officer and a Director of AMC and  Chairman
  of the Board of Trustees of EPT.
