A merger between the two, which may have been frowned upon by antitrust regulators pre-COVID, could be more of a reality as movie distributors like Disney and Waner Bros. are going direct-to-consumer with some of their releases.During the interview, Aron also admitted the company was close to running out of cash five times due to the pandemic. Aron said since the pandemic the company has raised $2.8 billion and received another $1 billion in concession from lenders and landlords.The CEO was positive that the vaccine roll-out will bring moviegoers back to his theatres and noted that last night's attendance for the new release Godzilla vs. Kong was 10x all the other Wednesdays this year.Aron also thanked retail investors, including those on Wallstreetbets, for saving the company and taking bankruptcy 'completely' off the table. He said maybe the strong start to the Kong - a movie about \"apes\" - was a good omen, alluding to the self-deprecating term \"apes\" WSB traders sometimes refer to themselves as.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":349472291,"gmtCreate":1617635090213,"gmtModify":1704701219773,"author":{"id":"3575356448144944","authorId":"3575356448144944","name":"KelvinKan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0dec5b1eadc421e6124cc3e12fa5b561","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Ape is strong togethet","listText":"Ape is strong togethet","text":"Ape is strong togethet","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349472291","repostId":2124780683,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":340305667,"gmtCreate":1617336108759,"gmtModify":1704698939699,"author":{"id":"3570807817840093","authorId":"3570807817840093","name":"BlackJesus","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2534cc0d2f43e74926fa9e2c27e6a4fb","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"This is the way","listText":"This is the way","text":"This is the way","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/340305667","repostId":2124780683,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.24.2","shortVersion":"4.24.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2124780683"}
