Wall Street analysts at MKM Partners wrote on Thursday, April 9th, “Based on our view that theatres will be closed until at least August and our belief that AMC lacks the liquidity to stay afloat until that time, we expect the company will soon be faced with filing for bankruptcy.” He downgraded AMC Theatres stock from “neutral” to “sell.”
The report adds: Even if AMC is able to tap government bailout funds the companyโs high leverage ratio โ with $4.75 billion in debt โ will make for tough sleddingโฆ thus making a reorganization inevitable.”
Don’t Panic
Bankruptcy doesn’t meanย out of business. It’s a way for a company to protect itself from going out of business while it restructures. If AMC Theaters does indeed file bankruptcy, then for sure things will change, and some theaters may not reopen, but in some fashion or another, the USA’s largest theater chain will be showing movies again when it’s safe.

The bigger question is: when will theaters reopen and what will that look like? I don’t think anyone expects a packed theater on August 14th for the Wonder Woman 1984 premier. But if not, then what will it be like? My guess is theaters will sell at most 1/2 of the seats for each showing — maybe less. So it might be the case that WW1984 is the only movie showing at some theaters. Strange days for sure.
#WonderWoman1984 is rescheduled to premier on August 14th. If theaters are indeed open will you go see it…
A) Opening night. No matter what!
B) Opening night, if theaters are 1/2 filled.
C) Late Sept., when theaters are mostly empty.
D) I'll Wait for the DVD. ๐#COVID19
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
November 19, 2019
Love love love this app. And, after receiving an email from Dan (the creator) that read as though it was a one-on-one communication sent only to me, I felt compelled to leave a long-overdue review. My son and I are absolutely addicted to this app…especially since I discovered it at the onset of the Marvel craze. Now we use it to confirm if there is a scene following the credits. Often times, we are the ONLY ones there watching the bonus scene…and it cracks us up. LOL! Thanks, RunPee!
