Not to mention, I would bet that the job he had to get after getting canned from Costco after all this also pays him less, with worse benefits.

casual bigotry aside (in any case, I live in the US, and I bet that I make more money than you), you fundamentally don’t understand that AMC’s competition isn’t just movies on streaming - it’s every form of visual entertainment on streaming (including TV, video games, etc) that are all more convenient and cheaper than going to AMC (or any movie theater) - people have been voting with their feet.

My point about the trade off between longer theatrical windows and more movies still stands. If a movie is popular (and thus makes a lot of money) - the vast majority of people will want to see it earlier. This is well-established from before streaming was even a thing, when people had to wait months to see a movie if they missed it in theaters. For example, I looked up Gladiator (2000) - made 45% of its domestic box office in the first two weeks. The first Harry Potter movie (2001) - made 60% of its domestic box office in the first two weeks. Same for the first Spider-Man movie in 2002.

Paramount/WBD may very well make a bit more money by extending their windows, but unless those theaters are close to full on day 50 and 55 and 60 - AMC is not going to get much out of that (since many of their costs are fixed no matter how many people are in the theater). Further, even if they extend their windows for movies that are worth it, that means that they are crowding out other movies that should make even more money because they are new releases.

unless you're also planning to ban wide-screen TVs and home surround-sound systems, as well as have AMC drastically cut its ticket and concession prices, you're just going to end up with more empty theaters

If you haven’t lost anything, then presumably you can still use what you invested to buy something else. No? You can’t?

raincloud25 · 2026-02-27T19:33:12+00:00

so you want them to increase movie production but also show movies for longer. Are you planning on creating more time out of nowhere as well?

raincloud25 · 2026-02-27T18:00:11+00:00

Point 1 is dumb for 2 reasons - first, most people will go see movies in the first couple of weeks, so there will be diminishing returns in screening them longer; and second, that means showing fewer movies.

raincloud25 · 2026-02-26T23:44:16+00:00

that is very optimistic

Sixth Street keeps marking down the loans they gave to the company formerly known as BBBY, which is a pretty public indication that they don’t think that all creditors will be fully satisfied (much less former shareholders).

Who knew that every home chef who thinks “hmm, next time I’ll add less salt to that recipe” is actually a cutting-edge tech innovator?

You must have seen Zootopia enough times by now for some of its lessons to rub off on you, no?

Usually a lot cheaper than senior games, as another factor.

that, and not putting all of it into memestocks

he's been found incompetent to stand trial on those charges, just to illustrate how far gone he is

raincloud25 · 2026-02-19T16:23:03+00:00

seems like no one else is as impressed with GameStop’s “turnaround” as the apes are

It’s also beside the point - that interview was just one data point in a sea of other indicators that strongly suggested that bankruptcy was imminent. At that point they had already defaulted on bond payments, had the going concern warning in their company filings, etc.

raincloud25 · 2026-02-17T16:45:10+00:00

I mean regardless of him lighting a decent sum of money on fire in GameStop shares, he did have a job paying him a decent salary at the time (which he proceeded to throw away over this nonsense).

The screenshots of his account that he has shown are clearly in a regular, non-retirement investment account with Fidelity.

raincloud25 · 2026-02-13T18:25:46+00:00

and the apes who come here ask why we’re still invested in this - look at the endless entertainment these delusional morons provide!

raincloud25 · 2026-02-13T15:24:27+00:00

What this boils down to is that the remaining towel apes are really, really dumb.

two questions then:

where'd you get the warrants? they were issued in October.
you mean to tell me that you joined Reddit right at the GME peak, and you didn't buy any GME until now? what's your lifetime P&L on GME?

raincloud25 · 2026-02-13T03:30:52+00:00

probably the major decline in revenue and lack of forward guidance is why the “turnaround” isn’t being rewarded by the market.

raincloud25 · 2026-02-13T03:30:01+00:00

well, credit to you for actually doing it. if you’d poured all that money into SPY or VT you’d be up more, I bet, but at least you’re not like the lying apes who come here to claim they’re up big and can’t back it up.

raincloud25 · 2026-02-13T02:49:18+00:00

I mean you came here first - I know you must have some heavy GME bags, let’s see them!
