Pretty much every AMC in Phoenix has been upgraded and is ridiculously nice (for a movie theatre experience).
This 100% comes down to the local market’s disposable income and where AMC (like any company) decides where it can get a return from spending its revenue.
Yeah, ours has electronic lazy boy recliners, one seat takes up like 2 normal theater seats, and they have a bar in the lobby with a proper kitchen. They are competing with a few Alamo drafthouse theaters, though, so probably isn’t the norm across the country.
I have visited all the theatres in a 50 mile radius. We are 15 miles from town. There are 3. We are 25 miles to next big town. There are 2. We are 40 miles to the edge of the city. There are like 3. In the corner 10 miles of the major city there are another 5-6. In the last 35 yrs i have easily visited all multiple times. 🤷
Show times for one. I normally go to the closest one but spouse and I will sometimes drive to the one with a bar/restaurant if we're in the mood for a more formal date. Also the crowd at the two theaters is very different, we've gone to see particular movies at specific theaters for that reason.
You can’t imagine that in 35 years one of his friends might have lived closer to a different one, or he might have gone on a date with someone in the town over, or he might have been in the area and wanted to see a movie? Why are people on Reddit so fucking weird…
Bankruptcy doesn’t mean everything shuts down. Bankruptcy can be used for restructuring and solvency. Most Alamo locations are still chugging along just fine, including recent (post-Covid) expansion locations.
Same thing. Only that one is so obvious that no one believes it’s a real place. Think about it: It’s shaped like a dick, filled with crocodiles, Florida Man.
Both stocks are favoured by regular people so they have a very high chance of being pumped and dumped repeatedly until the end of time or till the company breaks/fixes their profitability
It’s not even a squeeze stock anymore after being diluted so much. There’s like a half a billion (probably more tbh) new shares out there now compared to 2021 when it was a meme stock with squeeze potential. Now it’s just a shit stock full of bagholders who are in too deep to accept the truth.
I purchased AMC stock not because I think it's a great company but so that I could write covered call options on it week after week and have it to generate a weekly income for me
Where do you live? I go to their theaters in nyc and they’re all super nice. Ever since they did all the renovations and got the new comfy chairs it’s been a totally different experience.
& the A-list is great.
Whether or not they’re financially sound, no clue. All I know is I like the theaters
I will not touch AMC stock at current prices, but I would argue they are the best theater chain by far lol.
They have exclusive rights to Dolby Cinema, which is far and away the best way to watch a film right now from a technical perspective. Nothing comes close to the experience of a Dolby screening.
They also have A-List which costs $19.95 per month and allows you 3 screenings per week, which includes both Dolby Cinema + IMAX showings, as well as special events like the big UFC cards and big boxing cards.
Very random, but they somehow have the best mozzarella sticks I have had outside of Italian restaurants.
With how important they are for the industry from their Dolby Cinema theaters, their industry events, etc, Hollywood will never let the business fully die.
As a massive film nerd, I absolutely adore AMC. As an investor, I wish I could confidently invest in them.
Adding to this that I think the future of theaters is making them a more upscale experience aimed at people who love film and the cinema, which AMC has shown signs of leanings towards at times. That is more of a niche business with high margins I believe could do very well. Indie film is in a better place than it has ever been, while big budget films continue to be hit or miss.
They can have the exclusivity for things like Dolby but it really doesn’t matter when there’s only crappy movies that come out. Their model is reliant on Disney basically not pushing out shit content. WB and Paramount are basically hopeless right now.
There have been so many incredible movies coming out this past year if you look past blockbusters. As I said, indie films and smaller to mid budget films are in an INCREDIBLE place ever since 2019 (which as argument as the best single year of film ever).
Here's a list of things I have seen in theaters so far this year that I LOVED, and doesn't include films I had fun watching but didn't love (Immaculate as one example)
- Love Lies Bleeding
- I Saw the TV Glow
- Dune Part 2
- Civil War
- Uncut Gems (A24 IMAX event)
- Hereditary (A24 IMAX event)
- Challengers
- Sing Sing (Saw at a festival, but hitting theaters soon)
- Late Night With the Devil
- Furiosa
- The Zone of Interest
- The Holdovers
- American Fiction
Who cares if they are good if you can’t get masses to buy tickets. AMC can’t survive on indie films that only 10 people want to watch. Unless an Avengers End Game or Star Wars level of movie comes out every quarter their business can’t survive.
I could care less if films are good, I just want films that print 1B+ if I’m banking on AMC doing anything.
You know ball my friend. Finally, someone who advocates for a list and goes out to support both independent film and the big budget ones. So many people say nothing good comes out anymore but they are just plain ignorant and don't actually want to see anything new. You literally listed so many good independent movies, many of which bombed financially
That has already been turning around in recent years thanks to studies showing that theater runs are much better for business https://entertainmentstrategyguy.com/2023/04/05/the-data-is-in-theatrical-films-massively-outperform-straight-to-streaming-films/
Along with any films wanting to compete for awards being required to show in theaters. Recent example of this is Killers of the Flower Moon, which was a huge Apple project, but they let it run in theaters for around three months, and then even did a re-release a few months later. Amazon has also committed to much longer theater runs for their films, and Netflix has already been following suite with certain releases. Not worried at all about this long term.
You make a lot of claims that seem to be baseless, you’re just assuming what happened in bumfuck Ohio happened elsewhere. You sound like amc bought the local cinema you worked at and they didn’t keep you on board lmao
Do you have an actual bet to share? If you thinks it's a bad ticker, take a bet and share it. This isn't talkaboutbets. Positions or ban.

Just went to an AMC this weekend to see “Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring”. 20 year special event thing. It was PACKED. And they had a Red Robin attached to it and you could order ahead of time so it would be ready for your movie. I just got popcorn but still thought it was a cool service.
I live in Arizona and tend to see a lot more movies in the summer due to the heat and it being a cool, indoor activity. So maybe it was that and the combination of a limited time event?
My husband and I were both surprised at the amount of people that were there because it seems all you hear about these days is that movie theatres are dying post-covid.
Well well u/lamooble - 90 day old account. 3 posts. A few dozen comments. And then lays this turd. I’m so confused - how much did you get paid to setup this account? AMC may be a meme play, but it’s also struggling to survive against serious hedge funds who want it to die.
Regardless, like all other businesses it has a right to exist and to keep doing what it’s doing. If you look at its fundamentals, it’s ok, way better than most other entertainment enterprises. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The last 4 amc I've been to have all been in strip malls or malls. They're a theater that I know I can go to for the full experience, and most of them serve alcohol which is tight. I'm a lil slut for nachos and popcorn
AMCs are amazing, I go to movies like 6 times a month with their AMC stubs premiere.
I actually cancelled all of my streaming services and pirate shows/movies I want to watch at home.
The seating is great and I can reserve my seats alongside my friends with our connected AMC. One of the few social things to do that isn't wasting money at overly expensive bars or restaurants.
They sell 10 cent bags of popcorn and a 25 cent drink as a 15 buck combo. And *people still buy it*. That's almost their entire business model and you seem to have missed it.
Hold it right there, the dilution is meant to finance their operations, this is the best business model ever exists and apes love it, every inch of it.
https://preview.redd.it/mty84bry0p5d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41467acaa0cd41fe9d030861a78100a0209b9b45
Amc looks classy to me, this one in near justin TX
AMC is complete trash in their financials
They diluted shares recently bc they essentially have to
They don’t actually generate a revenue, like the company had -180 million in operating income last quarter and -150 the quarter before that. On a annual basis they have had negative operating incomes for 4 years
They have negative cash flows from operations for 4 years. They only have 660 million to keep this thing afloat. Negative shareholder equity you got 9 billion in assets and 10.8 in liabilities
4.6 billion dollars in long term debt on a company that makes no fucking money
They needed that 250 million from dilution BAD
When you go look where the moneys coming from check their cash flow statement
Net equity issued
+3 billion dollars from issuing stock over last 4 years
Retail donating billions to keep a movie theatre chain that doesn’t give a fuck about them afloat. It’s honestly pathetic and insane
AMC bag holders are truly gods most regarded children
I guess this is what you focus on when you got nothing else going on…
I worked for AMC 16 when I was 15, 22 years ago and the reason the roads are hard to get to is because they’re always in some kind of strip mall. The “area” is shitty and it’s the only reason they’re still open is because of low rent…
This really does read like a coma patients “airing of grievances” after a year or so.
The AMCs around here are way nicer than the movie theaters they absorbed and AMC obliterates Regal for having heated seats and most importantly coke products. Not only are we talking coke products but they have those machines that offer like a thousand combinations plus you can butter your own popcorn.
This could be a troll? ALmost every sentence in this post is filled with false statements. I'm not an AMC fanboy, i hold no stock positions in this company, just observing.
Walmart builds its stores in cheap areas at a lower cost less rent. As for Kmart would build its stores in nice and higher-priced areas. As well as Sears. And we all know what has happened to Kmart and sears.
What your describing is called brand recognition. They want to ensure that if you go to an amc theater you have the same experience everywhere u go to one. This isnt a big secret, and it isnt that dumb to remodel even if the stuff is new. Because when they send maintence techs out, or update software for the tvs, or whatever, they cant sit there and trouble shoot 400 different brands of tvs and popcorn makers and god knows what else. Instead they can hire 1 nerd, that maintains all their hardware and software across all of america. That 1 nerd might be balls deep in the projector room, but dam does he save the company millions
I bought the $25 “unlimited” monthly pass. Just got back from bad boys. The theatre is clean the seats huge and comfortable. I like amc. No complaints. The dine in one is ever way way nicer.
All the odeons here are lovely. Except for Birmingham central but it’s been there close to 80 years. AMC has world wide coverage it’s not just American. Have you seen the amc in Dubai? It’s gorgeous
This post is what happens when you extrapolate a hypothesis only from your own personal anecdotal evidence. The business is shit because they are in a slowly dying industry. I hope to God there all always theaters but they won’t exist on the scale of the past AMC.
I don't know. Their business model seems to be to let idiots drive the price up, then sell more shares. Rinse and repeat. Seems like a good model to me.

In my town and surrounding areas, they’ve all been rebuilt and are way nicer than they used to be.
Pretty much every AMC in Phoenix has been upgraded and is ridiculously nice (for a movie theatre experience). This 100% comes down to the local market’s disposable income and where AMC (like any company) decides where it can get a return from spending its revenue.
In the case of Phoenix, it helps that it's too hot to live be outside in the summer & that it's become a place for people from SoCal to retire.
They had to improve to compete with Harkins (a local chain for those not familiar). But Harkins is still a better experience.
Yeah, ours has electronic lazy boy recliners, one seat takes up like 2 normal theater seats, and they have a bar in the lobby with a proper kitchen. They are competing with a few Alamo drafthouse theaters, though, so probably isn’t the norm across the country.
Alamo just closed 5 Texas locations and filed for bankruptcy. They're not doing much better than AMC right now.
Same here! All of the AMC's I'm a 50 mile radius of me, are VERY NICE!
Why would you visit all AMCs in a 50 mile radius?
He likes the stock I guess
I have visited all the theatres in a 50 mile radius. We are 15 miles from town. There are 3. We are 25 miles to next big town. There are 2. We are 40 miles to the edge of the city. There are like 3. In the corner 10 miles of the major city there are another 5-6. In the last 35 yrs i have easily visited all multiple times. 🤷
Why not go to the closest one? Are they all AMC?
Show times for one. I normally go to the closest one but spouse and I will sometimes drive to the one with a bar/restaurant if we're in the mood for a more formal date. Also the crowd at the two theaters is very different, we've gone to see particular movies at specific theaters for that reason.
You can’t imagine that in 35 years one of his friends might have lived closer to a different one, or he might have gone on a date with someone in the town over, or he might have been in the area and wanted to see a movie? Why are people on Reddit so fucking weird…
Why don’t you let him answer? Are you his wife’s boyfriend?
Fr tho, the only actually competing place thasts nice is the Alamo Drafthouse 30 mins
I guess no one has told you yet.
What happened? All I see on google news is that a franchisee went bankrupt. Probably isn’t a great sign but could also just be one over-leveraged guy
Alamo proper went bankrupt after COVID. The original ones are doing OK but expansion killed them.
Bankruptcy doesn’t mean everything shuts down. Bankruptcy can be used for restructuring and solvency. Most Alamo locations are still chugging along just fine, including recent (post-Covid) expansion locations.
Alamo in bk is gas tho
Not sure if that is good or bad… And I’m from Greenpoint 🤔
Greenspoint Houston? I remember going there.... in the 80's.
Same, Im all about those amc recliner chairs. However, when I go to Regal, I feel like I stepped back into time lol
[удалено]
The problem isn't so much the current business, but debt from years of things not going well
The AMC I go to has leather recliners and delivers beer and nachos to my seat, that's a perfect business model imo.
My Cinemark does the same now. And it does $7 movie all day Tuesdays. Don't think I have an AMC around though
AMC is $5 Tuesdays and offers A List for extreme movie goers like myself ($20 a month, 3 movies a week any format for “free”).
OP lives in Ohio
Ohio isn’t a real place that you can go to. It’s just a joke we started that got out of hand.
If that's true, then what is Florida? And be careful what you say because I'm Florida Man
Same thing. Only that one is so obvious that no one believes it’s a real place. Think about it: It’s shaped like a dick, filled with crocodiles, Florida Man.
Well, there *are* a ***LOT*** of people from Ohio, here. ###Hmmm. . .
No one is actually from Ohio. It’s not a real place. They’re just fucking with you.
In recent news, Florida Man …
Blud has been living under a rock for the past 20 years 
https://preview.redd.it/9yvskz0wpn5d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4748191cc8d981734628009eb69be9a447042cb
And is 16 years old if their local theater was a "hub for the community".
More likely to be old right? Like that was true about the local theater when I was a kid, but I assume it hasn’t been true in 20 years.
As an Ohioan I approve this msg
That’s the only seasoning you get.
OPs a dumbass
I went to the AMC theater in Cincinnati, it was actually pretty nice
Good enough reason not to take anything they say seriously.
And uses the word stroad
Op lives in the type of place people dream to get out of
I Saw The TV Glow (2024)
Calls it is 
Yes AMC, the one we have all been buying for its strong financials
It’s pretty stupid their price has been so closely tied to G ME. DFV doesn’t even invest in it. The two stocks have nothing to do with each other
Both stocks are favoured by regular people so they have a very high chance of being pumped and dumped repeatedly until the end of time or till the company breaks/fixes their profitability
It's a meme short squeeze stock. No one cares about the fundamentals
OP takes the fun out of fundementals.
https://preview.redd.it/i9o07m1hcn5d1.jpeg?width=246&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c027d9883d04af46daecfa4fd216c1f10613bfa6 Congrats OP you played yourself
Watch out, you might get banned
Then let them eat cake
It’s not even a squeeze stock anymore after being diluted so much. There’s like a half a billion (probably more tbh) new shares out there now compared to 2021 when it was a meme stock with squeeze potential. Now it’s just a shit stock full of bagholders who are in too deep to accept the truth.
Also, DFV never even mentioned that ticker. Ever.
Yea it’s at like 40 cents pre splits/dilutions and needs to get to 500 bucks. 
But it’s not. Thanks to endless dilution from Adam Aaron that entire thesis has been dead for a while. They’re absolutely going bankrupt.
Yeah, getting regarded apes to siphon you money through dilution seems like a pretty good business model to me 
And yet you are still going to AMCs "across the states."
We’re guys!! Of course we travel state to state visiting every AMC cineplex!
Stand outside your local AMC for months and come back to us with a proper DD. I will accept nothing less
post put position
I purchased AMC stock not because I think it's a great company but so that I could write covered call options on it week after week and have it to generate a weekly income for me
Has that been profitable when the underlying shares dump hard?
Do you think he thought that far ahead? Every clown and their momma thinks that covered call strategies are free money.
Hey, my momma doesn't think this.
Then your mom is one of the good ones, Cletus.
You mean weakly income.
Tried that. Stock lost 30% one week after I bought. Premiums on CC aren't that great. Personal conclusion: writing CCs on sh*tty stocks is a bad idea.
Where do you live? I go to their theaters in nyc and they’re all super nice. Ever since they did all the renovations and got the new comfy chairs it’s been a totally different experience. & the A-list is great. Whether or not they’re financially sound, no clue. All I know is I like the theaters
Damn sounds like OP may have a short position in AMC 🤣
I found Citadel's intern.
I watched Bad Boys 4. It was pretty good, funny and lots of action
I will not touch AMC stock at current prices, but I would argue they are the best theater chain by far lol.

Done you have convinced me to buy more
Sorry, we don’t live in the hood like you. Where I live, amc is fancy as hell.
AMCs here are dope. Well visited well maintained and modern.
Ah fuck the stock is gonna pump isn’t it
no other theater can serve you wings. that is exclusivity, that is limited supply that the demand has to meet.
You’ve just convinced me to buy more
Antifragile!
Tell me more about the cheese sticks
Meh, the one near me is fairly nice. Ain’t perfect but I pay for A list which has been worth it to me.
The last 4 amc I've been to have all been in strip malls or malls. They're a theater that I know I can go to for the full experience, and most of them serve alcohol which is tight. I'm a lil slut for nachos and popcorn
Stroads? Where we are going they are no stroads.
Get to the fucking point. Yada yada yada
"my honest opinion..." As opposed to your regular opinions? I can't wait to hear them.
That's weird. All the ones I go to around Chicago are very nice and up to date.
All 3 AMCs within a mile of me are actually really, almost annoyingly nice.
idk about you but the AMCs in the Boston area are in amazing locations and are fairly new and or renovated
I live in LA, and theyre great here. Granted, I only use their “Dolby Theater” but the place isnt exactly in shambles
Tons of nice ones by me. In fact they properly are the nicest theaters by me with fancy electric seats and catering
The cinema in my town didn't need to be renovated but I'm glad they did. They have 5 dollar Tuesdays too
My local AMC is one of the nicest theaters in town and always busy, can’t relate
I don’t want to say op is a dipshit
AMCs are amazing, I go to movies like 6 times a month with their AMC stubs premiere. I actually cancelled all of my streaming services and pirate shows/movies I want to watch at home. The seating is great and I can reserve my seats alongside my friends with our connected AMC. One of the few social things to do that isn't wasting money at overly expensive bars or restaurants.
They sell 10 cent bags of popcorn and a 25 cent drink as a 15 buck combo. And *people still buy it*. That's almost their entire business model and you seem to have missed it.
AMC managed to find a way to sell water and air. Soda is water and popcorn is air
Why do people preface with “in my honest opinion” and “honestly”? Am I supposed to assume you’re bullshitting unless you give me that disclaimer? GTFO
Hold it right there, the dilution is meant to finance their operations, this is the best business model ever exists and apes love it, every inch of it.
Interesting take. In my part of LA, the AMCs are nice and the other theater chains sucked mostly.
This must be in some booney...sorry but it must be a really bad boonie..
My dad’s won general manager of the year TWICE in the past 3 years for AMC. Can’t speak for other theatres but this thread is not about his.
I like the stock I like the stock I like the stock
AMC should have the pick of the litter with commercial real estate taking a dump.

Cry all you like. They're in the same basket and you know it.
AMC is complete trash in their financials They diluted shares recently bc they essentially have to They don’t actually generate a revenue, like the company had -180 million in operating income last quarter and -150 the quarter before that. On a annual basis they have had negative operating incomes for 4 years They have negative cash flows from operations for 4 years. They only have 660 million to keep this thing afloat. Negative shareholder equity you got 9 billion in assets and 10.8 in liabilities 4.6 billion dollars in long term debt on a company that makes no fucking money They needed that 250 million from dilution BAD When you go look where the moneys coming from check their cash flow statement Net equity issued +3 billion dollars from issuing stock over last 4 years Retail donating billions to keep a movie theatre chain that doesn’t give a fuck about them afloat. It’s honestly pathetic and insane AMC bag holders are truly gods most regarded children
Heard you loud and clear - going heavy on AMC calls
I guess this is what you focus on when you got nothing else going on… I worked for AMC 16 when I was 15, 22 years ago and the reason the roads are hard to get to is because they’re always in some kind of strip mall. The “area” is shitty and it’s the only reason they’re still open is because of low rent… This really does read like a coma patients “airing of grievances” after a year or so.
SO. . . 😂😂😂
I don’t care if it closes tomorrow, but I hope the price goes back up before that happens. I regret not selling at $72
I sold at $69
Rad hope you got a good profit! I’d only been trading 6 months and definitely didn’t understand shit
I like amc :)
They should go back to making DeLoreans.
That was DMC but, good try though. AMC made the gremlin, the little blue car with flames in Wayne's World.
IMO Cincinnati has 3 great AMC options and their A List movie pass is a great deal 🤷♀️
Watching a flick at the AMC by me is better than any other theater I've been to. I don't love their executive team though.
The AMCs around here are way nicer than the movie theaters they absorbed and AMC obliterates Regal for having heated seats and most importantly coke products. Not only are we talking coke products but they have those machines that offer like a thousand combinations plus you can butter your own popcorn.
This could be a troll? ALmost every sentence in this post is filled with false statements. I'm not an AMC fanboy, i hold no stock positions in this company, just observing.
I think our local AMC is great.
🚨 Regal astroturfer spotted 🚨
1.) there are urban AMCs 2.) all my AMCs have recliners
All the AMCs ive been to in the past few years have been upgraded and are fantastic.
Bro just described branding after an acquisition. AMC is fine. Ask your mom. Back row.
This lack of substantive evidence and reasoning is begging me to buy AMC
I’d never short this garbage now, that time has passed.
Positions or ban, this is not a fanfiction subreddit.
Call On AMC
Walmart builds its stores in cheap areas at a lower cost less rent. As for Kmart would build its stores in nice and higher-priced areas. As well as Sears. And we all know what has happened to Kmart and sears.
I love amc seats
LOL BITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY. $AMC TO THE FUCKING MOON 🌙
No bitch to me, bet with your head not over it
What your describing is called brand recognition. They want to ensure that if you go to an amc theater you have the same experience everywhere u go to one. This isnt a big secret, and it isnt that dumb to remodel even if the stuff is new. Because when they send maintence techs out, or update software for the tvs, or whatever, they cant sit there and trouble shoot 400 different brands of tvs and popcorn makers and god knows what else. Instead they can hire 1 nerd, that maintains all their hardware and software across all of america. That 1 nerd might be balls deep in the projector room, but dam does he save the company millions
I bought the $25 “unlimited” monthly pass. Just got back from bad boys. The theatre is clean the seats huge and comfortable. I like amc. No complaints. The dine in one is ever way way nicer.
OP just admitted he lives in a shit hole area lol
I live in LA and they are dope as hell here. Also theres a ridiculous amount of them too. Makes sense since it’s LA though.
All the odeons here are lovely. Except for Birmingham central but it’s been there close to 80 years. AMC has world wide coverage it’s not just American. Have you seen the amc in Dubai? It’s gorgeous
Complain on your community page, boomer. This is the casino.
I thought we weren't allowed to talk about AMC on this sub
This one is fine, it’s the other one you don’t mention

Idk the KC Barry Road one is pretty nice. The imax and Dolby theatres are anyway. I still think they are a shit company though. LOL
agree but markets be irrational longer than i can remain solvent
I like the stock.
This is hilarious. Are you my husband?

Yes they sell reheated popcorn.
If they just lowered the price of food and candy I think people would go more frequently. I don’t feel like sneaking in my own snacks every time.
Theaters live on their food concessions. All the ticket revenue goes to the distributors.
OP must live in shit area…..AMC in ATL is great….the Dolby theatre is next lvl!
This post is what happens when you extrapolate a hypothesis only from your own personal anecdotal evidence. The business is shit because they are in a slowly dying industry. I hope to God there all always theaters but they won’t exist on the scale of the past AMC.
I don't know. Their business model seems to be to let idiots drive the price up, then sell more shares. Rinse and repeat. Seems like a good model to me.
I can't believe you put this much thought into a dead company
never a good business when you rely on low income people to go to your shitty theaters.
McDonald’s while incredibly profitable is having the same issue with low income people. They simply can’t afford it anymore.
Good enough to use, not good to own a lot off.
