AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc, the world’s largest movie theater operator, said on Tuesday it would no longer play Universal Studios films in any of its theaters globally, arguing that the studio is “breaking the business model.”

The decision came in shortly after the Wall Street Journal quoted NBCUniversal Chief Executive Officer Jeff Shell as saying he expects to release movies simultaneously in theaters and direct-to-home formats.
