More overseas buyers will enter the U.S. theater business in the next few years as the industry consolidates, said Gerry Lopez, chief executive of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., the No. 2 U.S. cinema chain.

AMC was taken over by China’s Dalian Wanda Group Co. in 2012 and went public the next year. Lopez has seen interest from others, he said in a telephone interview, without giving specifics.
