It really is embarrassing. My favorite part is the use of "effective immediately," as if AMC is even going to be open at any point over the next two months. Also, like Fennessey says, AMC has NO leverage. With possible bankruptcy talk still fresh (though it looks like they'll be avoiding that), why would you choose this to be your response? I understand it's kind of like a cornered animal lashing out, but the ONLY way forward for theater chains is to understand that streaming is here to stay, release windows are shrinking, and they're going to have embrace that reality, get inventive, work with studios, etc. It's madness.
