Investing.com -- Shares of both AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and Cinemark (NYSE:CNK) are trading higher Friday due to expectations for the hotly anticipated "Top Gun" sequel.

AMC Entertainment, which fell below $10 per share earlier this month and is down around 50% this year, is trading more than 17% above Thursday's close with Cinemark up 5.5% in the last hour of Friday trading.

The movie, which has been delayed a number of times due to the coronavirus pandemic, is expected to be one of the biggest box office hits this year.

According to a tweet from Gitesh Pandya, Founder and Editor of Box Office Guru, the film has already become the all-time biggest preview record for Paramount and the biggest ever for Memorial Day holiday weekend.

He added that the film's star, Tom Cruise, is having the biggest opening weekend of his whole career.
