Yes but that yellow film sticks to everything and it's a bitch to clean.
It would cost in labor and material to keep stuff working
well we were allowed to smoke in theaters till the mid odds, and it wasnt a real issue.

What shithole do you live in they sell booze in all the movie theaters where I live. Some even serve dinner with the movie.
Brig back the old days of cinema. Not only you get to see a movie, you would get an orchestra during intermission and a live show. That would be fantastic

Back in the day it was worth going out to the cinema because there was movies worth watching
Pretty sure they don't sell booze or weed at theaters because imagine what happens when the newest Tyler Perry movie gets released.
They sell booze

They sold a bunch of stock when it was at $15 to pay off 2/3rds of their debt. Also renegotiated prices for movies with holywoood (who isn't as happy with the netflix model of business). A lot of criticism toward AMC bullishness is that there is not much to watch and the revenue is paying off debt rather than investing in growth.

It's a similar short squeeze play, but if it doesn't squeeze (I think it will) it is expected to go back to normal stonk price which is over $30 a share.

Here is a video from a data scientist that explains where we are at currently with some of this AMC/GME madness


This is correct, however this issue has happened more than once. Durring the Obama years they had record lows, they blamed pirating, then
when half way decent movies came out in theaters suddenly there were record box office earnings. Prices for a movie ticket in a metropolitan city were at $18 a ticket (which is entirely driven by what holywood charges as movie theaters make all money on consessions).

When Hollywood is pumping trash in theaters, theaters are empty. When good movies are in theaters, people pack the theaters.

There is an easy way to up revenue for theaters.... Sell alcohol. Even if people sneak in alcohol they will usually still buy consessions to not draw attention and blend in. Alcohol has been a win for all theaters I've gone to. Arcade stuff I've seen pay off well for a lot of theaters but not every theater can make that kind of a change and I wouldn't trust boomers to not just buy $1 a continue ports of popular smart phone game shit instead of the timeless fun stuff like skee-ball and air hockey.
I tend to remember that the mid-2000s were kind of flat for movies with a lot of sequels and other stuff coming out, and one of the "culprits" being watching TV at home, with DVD players (and future tech) and wide flatscreen televisions were making home theaters more affordable and the technology to having close-to-cinema tech possible, something absolutely unaffordable ten years prior (with VHS tapes still in fullscreen and big televisions/projectors extremely expensive). [The other culprit was sporting events, before they became a woke mess that started to turn people off].

Edible comes in many forms. Powder in your drink, pills, wax, oils. Maybe I should have said consumables. Doubt a movie theater will be happy with smoking
Ya but weed butter popcorn is something you wouldn't have any other occasion, kinda like popcorn. The genius was me, I'm the genius. Of course you'd also have the thing where you buy a paper cup and can fill it with weed gummies and weed milk buds from big tubes with a trowel.

Alcohol is okay but what they need is a way to fill seats. Outside of big opening weekends if you go to a cinema in the middle of the day it's not uncommon to be the only person in the theatre. Bringing back the idea of it being somewhere you could spend a whole day is one thing that could help, but however they accomplish that, it'd get real fucking messy if everyone's tanked.

Honestly, I know the perfect way to do this and the hardest part will be the fact the copyrights to so many titles belong to a small handful of turbo-woke megacorporations.

Bring back the grindhouses and the dollar theaters. The age of the chain multiplex was winding down to an end even before Corona.

A one or two-screen theater that shows multiple movies a day and has special weekday matinee events or "all night" billings on Fridays and Saturdays will make a lot of money, especially if you have good food at decent prices and focus more on older pre-Woke titles and niche genres with a built-in audience like horror movies or science fiction.

Drive-ins have already begun to make a comeback, ironically thanks to Corona.

FYI: food items cannot be patented in the US. Copyright and food items is difficult too.

Yeah, that kinda stuff is what I meant by them being too retarded to remember what used to work. They have a lot to draw from right back to the depression era, and there's more you can do with a room with a big screen and a bunch of chairs now than ever which they've never taken advantage of. No reason a multiplex couldn't turn an idle theatre over to a Smash Bros tourney or media students or whatever (since they're then private showings) and make a lot more than they currently do with a throughput of like six people.

Microsoft Corp. is in talks to acquire Discord Inc., a video-game chat community, for more than $10 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
Discord has been talking to potential buyers, and software giant Microsoft is in the running, but no deal is imminent, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Discord is more likely to go public than sell itself, one person said. Representatives for Microsoft and Discord declined to comment.
San Francisco-based Discord is best known for its free service that lets gamers communicate by video, voice and text, and people stuck at home during the pandemic have increasingly used its technology for study groups, dance classes, book clubs and other virtual gatherings. Microsoft, which last year sought to buy social-media app TikTok and held talks to acquire Pinterest Inc., has been shopping for assets that would provide access to thriving communities of users, according to people familiar with the company’s thinking.
Discord reached out to Microsoft to gauge interest, and Microsoft Xbox chief Phil Spencer has been talking to the company, according to one person. VentureBeat reported earlier on Monday that Discord was in talks to sell itself. The company raised $100 million at a $7 billion valuation last year, according to Pitchbook.
Discord has also held discussions with Epic Games Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. in the past, according to two people familiar with the matter. Epic and Amazon didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
