It’s not about the ticket sales. It’s about the hilariously large short position your sponsor is holding.

Having a news article published by “the fool” ,who is owned by the largest hedge fund shorting amc, telling you amc is gonna fail is like saying your own fart smells nice.

Wake Up, AMC Stock: Summer Is Ending

Box office receipts for the movie industry this weekend were the lowest in more than two months. It was a cruel summer, but AMC has a box of candy up its sleeve.
