@Tony_Denaro What happened?

@daylightScott @StockRetail Got it. Thanks for the clarification!

QTD numbers are ALWAYS the day befores updated results for previous year results. The current year results usually come out during midday. So as stock retail said, apples to apples comparison So, 2025 and any year before is always the day befores closing result. 2026 is the same, but you have to let the data import throughout the day. So for today, april 15th...all 2025 and before results are now April 14th QTD results

Extended the run one more day, now making it the all time record for the first 13 days of q2 at the domestic box office. The lead has shrunk and may be done, but fantastic start to the quarter! Nearly half a billion in less than 2 weeks $amc

@daylightScott @StockRetail I see. Then I guess the refresh must have been the Tuesday numbers. So right now it's neck and neck with the 2015 numbers minus Wednesday numbers for 2026, right?

Your take on 2015 is incorrect. Heres how you verify that Heres a shot of the QTD numbers Yesterday (4/13/26). 2015 QTD showed 466,271,244. Then you add the 4/13/15 daily 7,554,807. You get 473,826,051 its just under the reported 474,452,746 since daily only takes top 10 grossing films

@so_blessed_45 @StockRetail @TheBaDonkeyKong Just read it and it's insane. Honestly that was the last hurdle for movie theaters to cross because now it's smooth sailing with the lineup and no drops in movies due to strikes

@StockRetail @TheBaDonkeyKong I think the WGA agreed on a new 4 year deal. Smooth sailing!

Understand this - as we have now entered a period of the largest box office in 7 years... We are STILL not in the era where Paramount/WB, Universal and others have all signaled INCREASED output of titles. That is to say, after this year of amazing results, we will see accelerated growth when studios increase the amount of movies they produce. Furthermore, Amazon/MGM and Apple Studio's recent successes (F1, Project Hail Mary, Mortal Kombat II, etc) have also been part of those studios' growth plans and mean increased desire to replicate success. So while we are already in a time of positive cash flows and vastly improved earnings, this is not even as good as it will get. The best is yet to come $amc

@CBR We gotta stop giving idiots like these attention. Clearly the homo didn't like he wasn't represented

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is an iconic film series, but it also has many elements that are difficult to watch in modern day. cbr.com/8-reasons-toug…

@Tony_Denaro Wait so you are in?

My cost basis is below $0.99. To be totally precise: $0.9862

The Hollow Men American capitalism is rotting from the head down. We have replaced the "Owner-Operator"—the risk-taker-with a new, parasitic class of corporate bureaucrat: The Risk-Free Insider. By "Insider," I am not referring to a specific title. I am referring to the entire administrative state that has captured the modern corporation. This includes the Directors who exist solely to collect fees, the Executives who exist solely to collect bonuses, and the Managers who exist solely to hire consultants. These are the hollow men of the boardroom. They are masters of PowerPoint. They wear the right suits. They say the right buzzwords about "governance" and "ESG." But they are mercenaries fighting a war with someone else’s ammunition. In a functioning economy, authority is tied to liability. If you make a bad decision, you lose your own money. That fear of loss is the only thing that keeps a business honest. It forces you to cut waste, obsess over the customer, and stay late to fix what is broken. Today, we have severed that link. We have rigged the game so that heads, the Insider wins; tails, the shareholder loses. If the stock goes up, the Insider collects a massive performance bonus. If the stock crashes due to their own incompetence, they are fired with a "Golden Parachute" worth tens of millions. They are gambling with the house’s money, and they never leave the table poorer than they arrived. This looting starts in the boardroom. We have normalized a "Country Club" culture where directors are selected based on social profiling rather than their ability to build a business. The modern board member is often a professional tourist—paid an average of $350,000 a year. Let’s be brutally honest about what that number represents. The average director is paid nearly five times the GDP per capita of the United States. They earn more for attending four quarterly lunches than the vast majority of Americans earn in five years of hard labor. And for what? Most of these directors are "over-boarded," sitting on three or four boards simultaneously. They treat directorships as a gig economy for the elite. They fly in, rubber-stamp a compensation package they didn't read, and fly out. They collect checks from companies they do not understand, do not use, and certainly do not love. They are not there to ask hard questions. They are there to be collegial. They are there to protect the other Insiders. And what happens when these boards hire executives who also have no personal capital at risk? We get the Delegation Economy. When a Risk-Free Insider faces a crisis—bloated expenses, a broken supply chain, or a stale product—they do not roll up their sleeves. They hire a consultant. They pay a strategy firm millions of shareholder dollars to produce a 100-page deck telling them what they already know. This is not management. It is intellectual money laundering. They use shareholder capital to buy an insurance policy for their own careers. If the plan fails, they can blame the consultants. They delegate the work because they are terrified of the responsibility. They would rather preside over a slow, comfortable decline than risk a bold mistake. While American Insiders are busy optimizing their severance packages, our global competitors are optimizing their products. They are not slowed down by bureaucracy. They are not waiting for a slide deck. They are outworking us. If we continue to fill our C-suites with administrators instead of operators, we will lose our edge. We will see iconic American franchises hollowed out by fees, managed for the benefit of the Insiders, while the true owners—the shareholders—are left holding the bag. The time for polite governance is over. If we want to save the American economy from mediocrity, we must demand a return to the "Owner’s Mentality." We need leaders who treat shareholder capital with the same reverence they treat their own savings. The era of the Risk-Free Insider must end.

@StockRetail Lfg cant wait

Been forever since a video. Being a varsity hs coach is a big time commitment 🤪 But know this AMC friends… Today I had to revise multiple quarters… UP When I finally give my full year view, it is going to be juicy $amc

@StockRetail Huh?

Well friend- and yes i’ll still call you that. You may have called it. Let us hope

@DiscussingFilm Good riddance

Kathleen Kennedy is officially leaving Lucasfilm after 14 years. This will be her last week as head of the studio

@Variety 🦗🦗🦗

Nikki Glaser reveals a joke about Brad Pitt didn’t make it into her #GoldenGlobes monologue: “Brad Pitt is nominated for his role in ‘F1’ tonight. See, that’s what I love about Hollywood. When a man turns 60, he gets to play a racecar driver. Meanwhile, after 35, every role for a woman is a tired mom who hates her life. And Brad, you were so good I was almost convinced that you’ve driven yourself somewhere in the last 30 years. But Brad did a lot of his own driving in the movie. And Brad, I don’t want to embarrass you, but your blinker was on the whole time there.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/n…

@StockRetail What happened?

💥 💥 💥 💥 Clever

@StockRetail How unusual? 🤔

I track the amc night trades regularly. Sometimes there are signals in them 😜 Tonight’s volume is unusually high for night trades. Just a data point. Interesting $amc

@Tony_Denaro Damn good call

8-K soon is my guess. Been telling Discord watch for a snap back up when the lender shorting is over. I think they have up to 4 trading days to file a material event 8-K. $AMC #AMC

@milenamachado71 @stuckonstocks What happens on Jan 16?

$AMC AMC lol There are also reasons why we do not share our charts here. The key event trigger just might happen on Jan 16 . . . We continue to add here. Our biggest position EVER. We bought Silver in the mid twenties (just missing the relative bottom) using the same charting techniques and that has worked out fairly well (still holding). Not financial advice, not a financial advisor.

@globalboxoffice What is the percentage of YoY increase for December?

THE HOUSEMAID pre-sales are not slowing down and keep doing better than we expected. Aside from Avatar: Fire and Ash, obviously, David and SpogeBob, this new Sydney Sweeney's film could be the fourth movie to open with $20M+ this weekend. Early signs point to December 2025 domestic box office crushing last year's totals.

@StewrighSteve @nakedjockman What is the bigger picture? 👀

@nakedjockman I agree! “IF” this gets pushed through with the amount of $$ Netflix is spending to buy WB they would want to make sure theatrical projects and run rates are in line. Catalyst for Apple/Amazon to step up. Those worried that movies are dead now are not seeing the bigger picture

My two cents (which isn't worth much) in lieu of the Netflix news: Big Hollywood players will now petition harder for longer theatrical windows for Oscar consideration. The people who will petition for this have both a love of cinema and more money than God so Netflix won't be able to buy them off but Netflix wants those Oscar considerations as do the actors in the slop that Netflix puts out. Netflix has checkmated Amazon. Amazon will now need to acquire a big studio AND/OR buy a major theatre chain such as Cinemark or AMC Entertainment to push back against Netflix where Amazon could disallow Netflix' films from being shown. Amazon could decide to offer, to their Prime Members, free or discounted tickets should they acquire a theatre. It's gonna get hot but don't expect any newly updated and revised Paramount Decree because in today's world, there is no fair playing field, no rules---creditors and lawmakers set the game and are playing against us all.

@StockRetail What a throwback

Whatever AMC is- it’s not anything normal. Some of you weren’t here when Izzy Englander and his shell companies bought almost 100 million shares of APE and I discovered ties to Madoff, the Mob, and Cramer. Video from that time: What is APE's relationship to the Mafia, Madoff, Millennium, Cramer and the SEC? youtu.be/-ifrjMBXwZo $amc

@ohgodyes @BoxOffice How much do you think it'll be?

@BoxOffice Vastly underestimating Zootopia 2
