MOVIE SCAB MOVIE SCAN DETECTED - YOU MUST WATCH “novecento” IN AN IMAX THEATER AS PUNISHMENT.

SherbertNeat8752

Theater attendance is up 25% compared to last year and this summer/fall has a ton of massive titles incoming (Toy Story 5, Odyssey, Spider-Man, Dune 3, Avengers, etc). Gen Z has started to embrace cinema culture to a higher degree than other generations especially with social media apps like Letterboxd taking off. If only these cinemas would build more damn 70 mm IMAX screens… All that is to say, I wouldn’t put that much money into AMC but I agree that AMC and other movie chains have potential.

wbradford00

I wasn't impressed by it in IMAX, if I could go back I'd probably see it in standard. It was a good movie just not amazing, you should still go see it tho

_hiddenscout

I bought some calls for IMAX next earnings call.

MitchCurry

I must hate money. Just added to NOW (11% more shares), VEEV (23%), IOT (12%), GWRE (11%), and NTDOY (8%). My cost basis with NOW is at a level I'll stick with until a few more quarters of data. Primarily I'm watching non-current RPO and DBGRR. Still have room to add to IOT, VEEV, and GWRE. Cash position now sits at 7.7% of my total cost basis. About to refresh my data on NET and IMAX to see how close they are to when I'd open a position.

MitchCurry

What's the ticker and what's the price you want it at? I'm begging for NET and IMAX to come down to more reasonable prices. I want a position but valuations are still nose bleed levels.

wbradford00

I heard it will be back in IMAX a couple weeks from now. Maybe I'll go see it in 70mm In NYC but not great availability left

cydworth

Yeah wish I saw it in IMAX. Sound and visual was amazing.

wbradford00

Wanted to see it in IMAX but I think all the IMAX slots are taken by the Mario movie

You, a fool, buy LMT at the top because of WAR I, a genius, buy LMT at the top because of the IMAX at the air and space museum

Are they about to see Oppenheimer in 10k IMAX? 😭😭

boravuth

😂. I had to check the IMAX stock price after reading your comment. It’s over $38 now. I bought a few hundred shares at $3 and sold them at $9 many years ago. For the last several years I’ve been stuck holding cannabis stocks. lol.

skyplt29

Simply impossible to keep up with this insanity... Shutting down this computer and going to see Hail Mary at the IMAX theatre. Need the distraction.

DJCzerny

I don't know if you have ever been a movie theater before, but (for some movies) there is a massive difference between watching it in your bed with headphones and watching it on an IMAX screen with a million dollar sound system.

AMC Entertainment Current price: $1.10 Short Interest: over 23% Outstanding Shares: 529.55 Mil Float: 525.8 Mil Currently, any Billionaire such as Elon Musk or Warren Buffett at ANY MOMENT could literally just come in with 525.80 Mil x $1.1 = $578.38 Mil to cover and then buy up every available share, and in turn literally own the IMAX LASER Theaters, which isn't a bad deal IMHO. With over 23% short interest, that would cause a short squeeze like in 2021. Just need someone with 578 Mil to yolo a short squeeze. Berkshire Hathaway has about $375 Bil in Cash Reserves, they could do it with less than 1% of their available funds and probably make bank on the Options.

IMAX, SNOW, and QXO also up after earnings. PRCT, WRBY, NU down.

IMAX on my watchlist as well. Also have SNOW and PRCT reporting for me. Also, surprised you missed it but TOI is reporting after the bell as well.

Ah, yes. It's them and not the guy going against the literal words of the Constitution that are anti-American. IMAX level projection.

Natasha Fernandes, IMAX CFO, is pretty good looking.

Sure, but I'm sure F1 fans won't mind. Probably pretty rad to watch in IMAX.

Didn’t know IMAX was available on VHS

Kind of funny, but IMAX is an interesting stock. Valuation isn't bad in terms of looking at the PEG and forward PE. It's beating the SPY over the 1Y and 5Y. They actually has good gross margins and have been improving: [https://quickfs.net/company/IMAX:US](https://quickfs.net/company/IMAX:US) Pretty low float for a company too, with 43M available shares and like 19% insider ownership. Always find it interesting the places you can find alpha in the market. Also wonder with summer coming up and the new Nolan movie, if this thing has some legs to run in the short term. Here's the latest investor presentation: [https://investors.imax.com/static-files/740895ab-4110-4ac2-9a7d-b070cea0414e](https://investors.imax.com/static-files/740895ab-4110-4ac2-9a7d-b070cea0414e)

Going ham into IMAX. Study your history and see how movies thrived in the 30s.

shunted22

IMAX holding up. Movies were also strong in 1930 jfyi

It's excellent. Watch it in IMAX 3D

moorhound

The more I'm looking at this, the more I'm thinking this Street Fighter movie might have the potential to be the best movie ever made. The production side is looking elite. The fight coordinator's been had a hand in most of the best fight scene movies since the 90s, he's got 2 John Wicks and Collateral on his resume. The director of cinematography's from Deadpool. Production manager did fucking *Saving Private Ryan* and all of the Dark Knight movies. The director did the Eric Andre show? idk The casting is a fucking *dream team*. 50 Cent is Balrog. WWE's Cody Rhodes is Guile, and Roman Reigns is Akuma. They're gonna paint Jason Momoa green. The guy that plays Zangief is 7'2" and 350 pounds. This is gonna be a goddamn human Monster Truck show. I've got *impeccable* fucking taste, and my spider senses are telling me this movie's going to slap. We're on the eve of an age where movies become AI slop, and a knockout movie showcasing the irreplacably-human artform of fine action choreography is something the world needs. *This* is why motherfuckers are willing to ask daddy for $110bn to buy WBD. This is a Paramount flick, and I'm gonna watch this shit in IMAX 4 times. Bullish

gizamo

Yes, it is absolutely true. 90%+ of movies are shot digitally. IMAX movies are also mostly done digitally. Tbf, it's often confusingly marketed as "Filmed for IMAX" for digital vs "Shot with IMAX" for film.

Infinite_Dress_3312

Not entirely true. FIlm is making a little bit of a comeback esp if it can be marketed as a premium experience ala IMAX

TheRightEdger

If the vote passes for doubling the authorized shares and those additional shares become outstanding shares and the stock price holds up, their debt will be less than 3x their market cap. Their competitors CNK and IMAX both have more debt than market cap. RUN, another wild and highly shorted stock, has debt \~3x market cap. KSS, another meme darling, has debt over 3x market cap. Many companies have higher debt than market cap. AMC stock price will likely bump up upon the next earnings report and that will further improve the debt2marketcap ratio.

Do they do IMAX installations as well?

Clayw05

Fair point but AMC is showing momentum with rising attendance and stronger cash flow. CNK and IMAX are solid, but AMC has the bigger upside if the turnaround keeps building

PuzzleheadedWeb9876

Revenue up 36%. Still posts a net loss is one of the strongest quarters for movies ever. You buy this shit and you deserve to lose money. Buy CNK or IMAX instead.

babywhiz

i love the AMC in our town. Chairs are so much more comfy and stretch out all the way. It’s not the IMAX experience as the other one but a way better physical atmosphere.

Primary_Alternative4

Most of them are big tech companies and I do have some in ETFs. An example company of a “just because” is IMAX. I have I think 1 stock of it… and that’s just cause I bought it when I first started out and I was trying to figure out the platform and how trading works. I could sell it but like why not hold it “just because” it’s not worth that much anyway at 1 stock sooooo. Idk

This is some IMAX level projection right here

IMAX is looking great. Now positive on the day after a bizarre morning sell-off following a good earnings release.

How are people feeling about IMAX in advance of earnings tomorrow, the 24th, and with The Odyssey movie selling tickets a year in advance?

kwokinator

>because demon slayer is more popular there Imagine the fit Trump will throw when Demon Slayer starts playing in theatres stateside and still has better box office than Hollywood movies. Demon Slayer is in theatres US and Canada on September 12 in both regular and IMAX, and there's fuck all in Hollywood movies schedule around those dates. There is a distinct possibility it will top box office here too.

hombregato

Seriously? If a movie is popular and it's pulled from theaters (for streaming, for example), that's money theaters don't make. Just look at 70mm IMAX events like Oppenheimer and Sinners. Up to the last day, these were difficult movies to get tickets to if you didn't preorder weeks before. They were still selling out way ahead of time. Those movies absolutely would have made more money with a longer theatrical release window, but they had to be pulled because of pre-set plans to move them to streaming and pre-set plans to release Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 & Part 2 on those screens, movies that, by the way, underperformed at the box office relative to Oppenheimers and Sinners, and relative to prior Mission Impossible films. Oppenheimer, in it's strictly limited time in theaters, still racked up enough money to be the 5th highest grossing of the year. Sinners, in it's strictly limited time, racked up enough to become the 3rd highest grossing movie of the year. It's absurd to suggest those movies would not have continued making money if they were extended. But to simplify your movie analogy... This "30.3% Prime Day sales bump" is like comparing a Fri/Sat Avengers movie box office to a later Avengers movie's Thurs-Sun box office. Obviously Thursday and Sunday aren't as profitable as Friday and Saturday, but many people are still "shopping" for a movie to watch on those other days. It's absurd to suggest this comparison isn't twisted to paint a positive narrative.

Fit-Weather7748

Gave it a look on the short term and it does have an upward trend. Especially with new movies and return for cinema is definitely helping IMAX make a case for growth. Long-term might be a different story with decrease in change of consumer spending from both US and China. July tariffs may also affect it, but I'm not sure how serious Trump was about international movies being tariffed.

WillNeighbor

idk man, IMAX is the shit but did you know it’s like 50 bucks for 2 tickets if you don’t have a movie club thing? then you go and pay 30 bucks for popcorn and two drinks, and you’re off put and say screw it, it’s gonna come out on amazon in a month anyway. and this is coming from an A lister at AMC

paper_plains

The drop in consumer spending is here - I think a lot of ppl are maxed out on funds. I’m seeing more and more retail deals. Tons of BOGO meals/dinners on DoorDash not just small ticket items. Subway had $15 off $25+ orders yesterday. Swarovski sent me a promo for a bunch of stuff including 40% off. Fandango sending coupons for $7 off ticket price for new IMAX movie F1. Up to $1200 off mid tier to higher end TVs at Best Buy.

WulffenKampf

Because in theory, it has its uses - need to know how to work this very specialized camera rig to film an IMAX film? Need to know what level of tempering to do on this specific grade of high-chromium steel? Need to find out how to operate this drone for optimal lighting while avoiding seeing the rotors in the shot? Those are all consulting roles. Problem is, talk is cheap, and in-demand skillsets are limited, so people charge a fair bit for their time, weeds out those who don't want the help as much. But, again, *talk is cheap* - and grifters are great at bullshitting their way into things. And charging more and more money. Hence, ever-increasing profit margains, so you can pull in more and more people to spread the reach of your grift. And in the current world of how businesses are run, needing ever higher returns with ever lower wages because even two quarters of merely similar profits is a cardinal sin in the stock market, businesses will dump as much money as they can at *anyone* who claims they have an idea on how to help.

lipstickandchicken

The word "product" applies to both goods and services. The only distinction that needs to be made is between goods and services. >But for cinemas, movies are a product as they are acquired by them as goods. It is not a service rendered to them. I am not sure what you mean here. Modern cinemas download movies and screen them. Even then, a cinema acquiring an IMAX movie on physical film does not mean the movie is a good. If a movie is a surprise blockbuster, the cinema isn't going to run out of stock. The movie doesn't get depleted from selling it. DVDs fall closer to goods, because they have to be stocked and sold, but the movies themselves on the DVDs are always a service.

I'd say it's because all past, existing, and future paradigms can be simulated in VR. You can create a phone, tablet, laptop, multi-monitor setup, IMAX theater, arcade cabinet, and even a light-field display in VR for free very easily.

I have some questions about a few related/unrelated stocks, if that's OK. Is BLMN a good investment? Why or why not? Is it growing? Why is INTC down? Is IMAX a good investment? Why or why not? What would increase the value of AMC? What would increase the value of WEN?

> False. Sphere is an tourist amusement experience and theater. How is that not a comp for Disney? Sphere has only one location in Las Vegas and it literally opened last year. Maybe it will expand someday, but that doesn't seem very likely as of now. > Is meant to be a joke? It’s a distinction without a relevant difference. > > You seem to be stretching extra hard to deny valid points and defend a false claim. I mean, IMAX only makes documentary featurettes that lasts about 40 minutes in general. Sure, some of them are longer, but they're not exactly common. > False. Cruise ships are not films which are not amusement parks which are not subscription. Way to miss my point. > I can see that if I say sky is blue and grass is green, you’ll just say the opposite. Be graceful already. Frankly, your analogy isn't very good. > I don’t even know what attendance “rate” is but this seems to be making a mole hill out of a mosquito bite. But more importantly, it’s using false objections to prop up a false thesis. Disney’s massive stock failure isn’t because everyone else in the industry set fire to 37% of their market cap... because they didn’t. Disney did. Disney’s board and execs did. Some of the Disney stock value issues could also be due to Peltz/Perlmutter supporters giving up on Disney after Peltz lost - at least when it comes to earlier ones - and there was also a Disneyland strike that almost happened just a few weeks ago. You know, since this conversation isn't really going anywhere, maybe u/Zealousideal_Look275 could provide his/her own take on this whole thing while we call it a day - for now, at least.

Block-Busted

Aside from IMAX, those are not exactly the same thing since Sphere seems to be mostly about sports while RCL seems to be more about cruises. If you look at film studios, things might start looking different. Also, you still didn't address these parts regarding what Peltz/Perlmutter might've done given how much spite they hold against Disney/Iger: > -Firing Kevin Feige, Pete Docter, and Jennifer Lee and replace them with Ethan van Sciver, John Kricfalusi, and Chris Savino respectively and replace Bob Iger with himself, Ike Perlmutter, Elon Musk, Ben Shaprio and/or perhaps even Harvey Weinstein. > > -Selling Pixar to MAPPA, Walt Disney Animation Studios to Pure Flix, Lucasfilm to The Epoch Times, Marvel Studios to The Daily Wire, 20th Century Studios to X Corp (Elon Musk's company), and so on.
