* Exhibitors: AMC Entertainment Inc. said it raised $100 million selling 4 million shares of cumulative convertible preferred stock at $25 a share. The offering was managed by underwriters Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corp.; Bear, Stearns & Co., and Smith Barney Shearson Inc. For the 39 weeks ended Dec. 30, AMC’s revenue rose 46% to $448 million, thanks partly to summer box office hits such as “Jurassic Park” and “The Fugitive.” Earnings climbed to $12.5 million from $2.6 million in the year-earlier period, including a $9.6-million gain from the sale of some assets. Kansas City-based AMC, which is headed by Chairman Stanley H. Durwood, was a pioneer in the development of the multiplex theater concept.
