What Are Dark Pools in Stock Trading? (AMC)

What are dark pools in the stock market?
AMC Dark Pool

Dark pools are somewhat of a mystery to new retail investors. We hear about them a lot within the AMC community, especially through Trey’s Trades. We know that they allow hedge funds to make undocumented trades behind doors.

So what exactly are dark pools? And, is something being done about them? I want to expose this subject today.

franknez.com dark pool amc

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog that protects retail investors from FUD media. Today we’re discussing dark pools.

Lets get started!

What is a dark pool?

A dark pool is basically a financial forum or platform for trading stocks or other securities. Dark pools are privately organized and are known to be an alternative trading system.

These ATS’s are seldomly regulated.

The concerns regarding dark pools and AMC Entertainment has been that we simply don’t know what these communities are hiding from the SEC. This slimy strategy is what’s known as backdoor buying and selling.

Why are dark pools used?

Dark pools give hedge funds an advantage in the sense that they are able to conceal their moves. We can only speculate what type of information is being hid from the public here. Details within these dark pools are not accessible by the trading public.

This lack of transparency may allow dark pools to conceal information such as:

  • The illicit activity of naked shorting
  • Explanations behind millions of fails-to-delivers
  • Any discussion regarding malpractice in the market
  • Inaccurate filings and reports

Dark pools can very well be the place where short sellers get together to discuss strategies and the ruining of companies.

It could be the reason why we don’t know how many short sellers are shorting ‘meme stocks’ and other information that would otherwise prove a fair market for both institutions and retail investors.

Is the SEC looking into dark pools?

SEC dark pools gary gensler

In a recent article regarding the high possibilities of automated margin calls, I point out some research I found on Gary Gensler, Chairman of the SEC.

He publicly announces that the SEC has been observing hedge fund activities since January and are taking action to regulate these entities shorting AMC and other ‘meme stocks’.

One of Gary’s proposals states that hedge funds could face 13-F filings. These filings would provide the SEC with insight on equity as well as dark pool disclosure.

I trust we will begin to see this new chairman make the right calls. It’s time for change and our generation will be the ones to make it happen.

Dark pools could explain the low short borrow fee

Could dark pools be the explanation as to why the short borrow fee is so low for hedge funds shorting AMC and GameStop? Now, because so much information is in the shadows, this of course is only speculation.

According to Investopedia, dark pools can charge lower fees than exchanges because they are often housed within a large firm and not necessarily a bank.

Why do these large firms (hedge funds) have this much power in the first place? This advantage is completely deceitful and unruly. It really does make you look at the SEC and think why in the world has no one taken action sooner.

Are dark pools illegal?

Dark pools are not illegal but they are certainly unethical. Per the SEC, we can expect real regulation to surround these exchanges relatively soon.

Bloomberg Tradebook

bloomberg tradebook dark pool SEC

The Bloomberg Tradebook is a dark pool that is owned by Bloomberg LP. Bloomberg is a financial media company that has been trashing AMC Entertainment for quite some time now.

Bloomberg has published FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) articles in efforts to scare people out of their money. This raises questions regarding the ethics of these manipulators who gather behind close doors in order to stray the public from squeezing shorts out of their positions.

Other dark pool exchanges

Institutions such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs also offer private trading to their clients through the use of dark pools.

The main concern here is that the information that is made public to the SEC can easily be manipulated. Mainly to conceal foul play and inaccurate information.

The information that is available on Stonk-O-Tracker regarding AMC and dark pools is the percentage of trading within these forums/exchanges; which is usually relatively high.

How does this affect AMC stock?

AMC stock

These private exchanges may be illegally trading naked shares behind close doors refraining AMC’s stock price from further climbing. Although AMC is up nearly 3000% year-to-date, hedge funds continue to attack it through sell walls and short ladder attacks.

And since these private forums could potentially have been getting away with inaccurate reports, the possibility of foul play in the market is certainly there.

AMC Dark Pool Trading

Andrew Hiesinger, CEO of Quant Data took to Twitter to expose AMC’s current dark pool trading volume.

Quant Data provides retail investors with real-time options order flow, alerts, dark pool prints & levels, and news. There has been approximately 34 million shares exchanged in dark pools just in today’s trading day (8/18).

This equates to $1,268,475,800.46 in notional value, says Andrew.

Andrew Hiesinger AMC Dark Pool Data

64.21% of trading in dark pools won’t allow AMC’s stock price to reflect the actual price action. This primarily because this amount of trading is done behind closed doors where buy orders aren’t being reported.

This form of manipulation is clouding AMC’s real share price. #DarkPoolAbuse has been trending on Twitter.

How can retail investors fight these predatory trading practices?

Retail investors have several advantages over hedge funds shorting AMC and other ‘meme stocks’. The community must stay the course if they are to squeeze these short sellers out of their positions.

Not only are hedge funds losing billions, but the SEC has finally begun to implement new regulations that could automate margin calls in overleveraged accounts. I’m personally not worried. These house of cards are falling at the times they should.

Was AMC’s MOASS Just Threatened by New ‘Put Theory’?

AMC Put Options
AMC Put Options – AMC ‘Put Theory’

AMC’s MOASS was just threatened by a put theory that came about from YouTubers in the ‘ape’ community.

Many community members feel betrayed, others are choosing to follow the new narrative.

Despite which road you decide to take, we’re going to break it down together below.

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – if you haven’t joined the newsletter, be sure to do that below. I’m publishing market news and updates daily.

Let’s dive right into it!

Join the newsletter to become part of an activist group fighting for market transparency!

Puts on AMC stock

Most of you have heard about the put theory where YouTubers in the ‘ape’ community say buying puts on AMC is the way to make money and drive the price of the stock up.

And while buying puts or options trading is a way to make money in the market, what’s the exact logic behind it in this scenario?

But most importantly, will buying puts on AMC stock trigger MOASS?

There are two things to consider when putting out information like this out to a massive community.

  1. Trading options is risky, and profits are not guaranteed
  2. This is just theory

What is the put theory?

The theory says that as market makers are pushing the price of a stock down, you push the price of the stock down too with put contracts while you hold your AMC stock.

This essentially would enable the market maker to lean towards the upside since majority of orders are puts rather than calls.

At the same moment, options traders may potentially make money when they exit the put, a process known as ‘hedging’.

Although, it is important to note that a successful play is not guaranteed.

The theory then transitions to buying the stock or buying call options as the market maker moves the price of the stock up, further fueling buying pressure.

According to the put theory, because algos tend to favor low prices (which puts are at the moment), eventually those same algorithms will move towards buying the less expensive call options, driving the price of a stock up.

This is all theory of course.

Trading options

While I agree that as individuals, we can always learn something new, you cannot demand it from a community who may potentially lack the resources to do so (time, monetary means, etc.).

Trading options requires patience, time, money, and learning something completely new, which I’m 100% for.

But most people might not be open to the idea of taking up a new hobby or hustle.

And if you are, kudos to you.

But is buying puts on AMC going to help squeeze shorts from their positions or will it only provide market makers with more liquidity?

Remember, this is just a theory after all.

YouTubers say that with so many puts in play, market makers will eventually begin to move the price up, where retail investors can then begin to play call options.

While it’s a great strategy to make money in the market, is there a lack of integrity when asking a community to keep buying and holding a stock while others profit from the foundation of those who are not trading?

Options trading is risky but may provide great reward if a play is strategized properly.

But should it be done on AMC?

Would buying puts on AMC prolong a short squeeze?

It’s an interesting theory, isn’t it?

But if options traders begin to fuel AMC with puts during a bear market, doesn’t that just drop the price for retail?

Yes.

And while some retail investors might feel like this theory may be taking advantage of them, in the sense that options traders get to make money while retail momentum collapses, I don’t personally think there were any nefarious intentions behind this.

Some sentiment in the community is looming that:

  1. YouTubers either sold their positions and are now looking for ways to make money trading AMC.
  2. There’s a lack of integrity and transparency from creators.

And not every YouTuber in the community is on board with this idea either.

But I’d love to know what you think.

Is trading options bad?

Options Trading
Options Trading

Absolutely not.

Trading options is a skill you can develop to hedge in the market and make money on the downside and upside.

It allows traders to buy shares cheaper and earn a premium.

Technical analysis usually provides traders with hindsight and allows them to make educated predictions as to where the price of a stock is going.

A trading decision is then made based on this research and analysis.

The risks are you can lose money on every trade, which could develop into a form of gambling without proper due diligence and research in options trading.

What can we take from the information that YouTubers in the community are suggesting retail take?

There’s always something to learn.

While I don’t agree with buying puts on AMC specifically will accelerate a short squeeze event, trading options could prove to be a valuable skill you can put to use in other assets.

Is an AMC short squeeze still possible?

YouTubers are saying to make cash with both calls and puts in AMC Entertainment stock.

So where does that leave a short squeeze?

Is a short squeeze still possible?

AMC’s current short interest is at 20.94%.

This means there’s a high percentage of shorts that have not closed their positions yet.

AMC surged to $72 per share from a 20% short interest drop to 14%.

AMC has the proper setup for a short squeeze, you can read more about the data supporting this setup here.

Can the put theory really trigger MOASS?

Like shorting a stock, the put theory is essentially a ‘bearish’ strategy that stunts the growth of a stock in the short term.

There are no guarantees algorithms will favor calls over puts as puts pile up into the market.

One would also need to convince many call option traders to buy puts or get the ‘ape’ community learning the process to do so.

It’s an unlikely scenario that has the potential to create bigger losses for the inexperienced options trader.

I’d love to hear your take on it.

How Soon Will Hedge Funds Get Margin Called? (AMC)

Retail investors all want to know. How soon will hedge funds get margin called?

I’m going to be updating this article with new information as it becomes available so be sure to bookmark it.

If you’re investing in AMC or GameStop, this article will prove to be of value to you.

You’ve done an outstanding job. You’ve bought the rips and dips but most importantly, you’ve held on.

Let’s go over the data that is currently available regarding margin calls and hedge funds.

There are some incredible things happening behind the scenes that you need to know.

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog keeping retail investors informed in stocks, crypto, and market news.

Lets get started!

But first, I want to give a massive thank you to my readers.

A lot of you have just recently started following me and I’m very grateful for your support.

I love seeing the community sharing FrankNez content on social media. It brings me great pleasure to know I’m providing value in your daily lives.

What is a margin call?

I published a piece fully dedicated to what a margin call is in the stock market world some time ago.

In short, a margin call occurs when the value of an investor’s brokerage account falls below the broker’s required amount.

This is when a broker demands that an investor deposits additional money into their account so that it meets the minimum requirement.

A margin call is usually an indicator that a security (asset) held in the margin account has decreased in value.

When a margin call occurs, the investor must either add funds to their account or liquidate (sell) some of their assets in that account.

Why does a margin call occur?

  • It may occur when an account runs low on funds usually as a result of a losing trade
  • A margin call occurs when a demand for additional capital is required to meet the minimum margin requirement
  • Brokers may force traders to sell assets, no matter the current market price, in order to meet the margin requirement if the trader does not deposit the funds

If you’re a new retail investor and have recently joined the ape community then you’ve more than likely heard the term margin call before.

A margin call is basically a 50/50% chance a short squeeze may occur on the spot.

However, even if hedge funds are able to keep enough capital in their margin accounts to keep them afloat, at some point they’ll have to cave in.

Hedge funds have lost billions of dollars and this game is only costing them more money each day that passes.

Bloomberg News on Gary Gensler / Margin Calls

Margin call hedge funds

In this video, Bloomberg News discusses Gary Gensler, the new SEC chairman’s concerns of overleveraging and manipulation in the stock market.

This five minute video is important to log because it demonstrates and acknowledges the concerns in the market.

Perhaps the SEC was incompetent in the past to say the least. But it looks like we might be looking at some change here community.

And although this particular video was published on May 6th, below are some things Gary Gensler is already proposing in order to protect retail investors and the overall market in general.

SR-NCSS-2021-002

SR-NSCC-2021-002 AMC automatic margin calls

This proposal from the SEC is massive if it gets approved.

The SEC has heard you and they’ve been looking into hedge funds overleveraging their positions in AMC stock and other ‘meme stocks’.

This proposal would allow an automatic margin call system to margin call hedge funds with overleveraged accounts.

This margin call system will essentially target short sellers on a daily basis and identify whether they are required to raise margin minimums or liquidate their positions.

SR-NSCC-2021-002 APPROVED 6/21/2021

SR-NSCC-2021-002 APPROVED margin calls
SR-NSCC-2021-002 Approved

This proposal was delayed after its initial approval date.

However, as of today the proposal has gone through and should be in effect in the coming weeks.

However, as long as short sellers are able to keep up with their margin requirements then this regulation is rather neutral.

A lot of these rules being put into place play in our favor the more money short sellers lose.

Total Return Swap AMC

The SEC and FINRA have gotten together to review the activity of ongoing overleveraging in the stock market.

Hedge funds could soon face total return swaps per Gary Gensler, SEC chairman.

In a total return swap, the payer (hedge fund) must pay the interest on the underlying assets, plus any appreciation in the market value of the asset.

This sounds a lot like shorts paying all short borrow fee owed on top of the market value of naked shares they’ve traded.

13-F filings and short selling disclosures

Citadel Margin Call - SEC cracks down on hedge funds
Citadel margin call – SEC cracks down on hedge funds

There’s a strong possibility that hedge funds also face 13-F filings. This filing will provide the SEC with insight on equity and dark pool disclosure.

Everything now seems to be falling right into place despite the continuous short laddering.

The SEC voted 3-1 and approved the hedge fund disclosure proposal on January 26, 2022.

When will hedge funds get margin called?

Charles Schwab has recently raised margin requirements for both AMC and GME stock.

This means that if they are unable to keep the minimum cash required in their margin accounts, they’ll be required to liquidate some or all of their positions!

This would create massive price action to trend in an upwards position.

We know that short sellers are losing millions of dollars every day.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is simply a waiting game.

The point is going to come where they can no longer afford to be negative each day.

This movement is about to get on a whole other level of excitement.

The fundamentals to this AMC short squeeze have not changed.

All retail investors will have to do is hold until short sellers cave in and close their positions willingly, or brokers margin call them.

Charles Schwab raises margin requirements

Charles Schwab raises margin requirements
AMC Margin Call

The broker is adjusting 100% margin requirements for AMC on all long positions, and 200% on short term positions.

As for GameStop, the margin requirement is 100% on all long positions and a whopping 300% on short term positions.

All this essentially means is that short sellers will be required to have more cash at hand as collateral.

So, not only are hedge funds losing a lot of money every day but are now being required to put enough cash into their accounts to cover their entire positions if need be!

You know what happens if they can’t cover right?

That’s right, margin call.

Instant liquidation of their accounts resulting in the MOASS we’ve all been waiting for.

Margin calls will result in a short squeeze

At first we might experience what’s known as consecutive gamma squeezes.

These are usually triggered by high volume in the market due to expiring call options in the money or very high purchasing days.

As more short sellers and hedge funds with larger short positions in AMC stock begin to cover, we will begin to experience the beginning of a short squeeze.

A short squeeze could last several days to several weeks.

During this timeframe, the stocks price will continue to skyrocket as more short positions are closed.

It really does feel like we’re coming to an end here.

This new beginning is going to change millions of people’s lives.

NSCC-2021-010

Proposition NSCC-2021-010 allows the NSCC to act as a third party lender to oversee every transaction between lenders.

It prevents short sellers from using naked shorting strategies and from creating FTDs.

This is one of the biggest AMC news yet regarding the stock.

It’s been delayed but should go into effect this new year.

The NSCC is also requiring that short sellers have more cash at hand to limit overleveraging their positions.

When should I exit my position in AMC?

I wrote an AMC exit strategy guide to help the community make a strategized decision on how to sell when AMC squeezes.

I do want to relay that this is only my take on it.

Many of you already have your own exit strategies, I understand this.

Regardless, it’s there if you need it and would like insight from a different perspective.

Why is AMC Entertainment Stock Going Up Again?

why is amc stock going up
Why is AMC stock going up?

AMC stock is going up and continues to leave hedge funds and publishers such as Yahoo Finance, The Fool, and other sources baffled.

Although hedge fund partners are sticking together to mislead the publics opinion when investing in AMC (and other “meme stocks”), we’re going to let you know why this particular stock is going up.

Please keep in mind that I am not a licensed financial advisor. All the information you are about to read is based on expert sources and will be presented in a manor that informs you why AMC stock is going up.

franknez.com AMC

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog protecting retail investors against FUD from mainstream media. Today we’re discussing why AMC Entertainment continues to go up.

Lets get started.

Volatility is normal in the stock market

We’ve seen a lot of volatility in the market recently. If you’re a new investor chances are you might have been scared off to sell and then noticed the stock slightly go up again in the green tier.

Don’t feel bad, volatility in the stock market is normal. This doesn’t just apply to AMC stock. But if you haven’t sold, kudos to you. #diamondhands.

So, what’s causing the stock to go back up?

Well, there are numerous reasons why AMC is back in the green tier. Keep reading to find out whether this stock might be a good pick for you.

Reasons why AMC stock is going up

reasons why amc stock is going up
  1. Large institutions such as Wells Fargo, Vanguard, BMO Harris, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, & BlackRock have bought the stock all year(via. CNN Business)
  2. AMC CEO Adam Aron, announced bankruptcy is officially “off the table” and have raised $2.2 billion in cash this new year.
  3. Because AMC is currently the most shorted stock (via. MarketWatch), the stock price has gone up and will continue to go up as long as retail investors keep buying the stock. *Unfortunately MarketWatch has removed AMC from their list. Retail investors suspect foul play from this hedge fund partner.
  4. AMC is currently the most held stock surpassing Apple (AAPL) and Tesla (TSLA) – via Nasdaq.
  5. Movie titles are beating records (more on that below).
  6. The AMC community continues to grow.

AMC Entertainment is no longer on the brink of bankruptcy

There’s actually a lot of positive things going on for AMC Entertainment despite what The Fool, InvestorPlace and other shill mainstream media might try to convince you of.

The sentiment behind AMC stock keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger by the day.

This is primarily because hedge funds have greatly underestimated the community.

Ultimately, the data speaks for itself.

Now, Adam Aron who is the President and CEO of AMC Entertainment has done an outstanding job with the media.

In this video we can hear his optimism for the movie theater chain before AMC theaters began to reopen.

Adam Aron clip as theaters were beginning to reopen

As of April 2021 all AMC movie theaters are now open with many even selling out.

This clip is from a while ago but it’s worth documenting!

AMC Q1 2021 Earnings

AMC just announced their Q1 earnings for 2021. Things are looking particularly bullish and optimistic to say the very least.

For the retail investor this means the upper hand is yours. AMC Entertainment has raised over $2 billion dollars to hold them off until the year 2022. And we still have to go through Q2 (below), Q3 (coming up), and Q4!

If you missed the conference you can check it out from Matt Kohrs imbedded here for your viewing pleasure.

AMC Q1 Earnings Call

AMC Q2 Earnings Call (2021)

I published an entire article on Q2 earnings call so be sure to read it here! AMC doubled their earnings and have a ton of exciting new things coming to movie theaters.

Key highlights include:

  • AMC accepting Bitcoin by the end of the year
  • Open to partnering up with GameStop!
  • Looking into licensing rights to show concerts and sports events on the big screen
  • And more

AMC Entertainment has a great vision when it comes to innovation. I’m excited to see our movie theaters evolve to provide an even greater theatrical experience.

AMC Q3 Earnings Call (2021)

AMC’s Q3 earnings call will take place today.

You can register here to listen to the webcast at 5pm EST, or bookmark this article for upcoming updates.

What can we expect from the Q3 earnings call?

I’m guessing AMC Entertainment beat revenue goals since new titles have continued to break records.

The company has also done an outstanding job at marketing themselves, something they had not done before.

I will be covering AMC Q3 earnings call today so be sure to check back.

Fundamentals are also causing AMC stock to go up

AMC Entertainment as a company has a lot of partners and friends they’ve gained throughout the 100 years they’ve been in business.

They’ve been able to raise money to pay off debt and focus on ways to welcome people back to the movie theaters safely.

Revenue is a very positive factor playing into the fundamentals of AMC’s stock price action. AMC Entertainment is set to release a ton of awesome titles this year which has people excited for that movie theater experience.

AMC’s CEO is one great leader

With this being said, Adam Aron, CEO and President of AMC Entertainment is not backing down.

Adam has talked about his experience saving Norwegian Cruise Line and how he intends to to keep AMC alive for as long as he lives to run the company.

Why are large institutions buying AMC stock?

Vanguard AMC

Speculation would point out AMC is possibly a good investment, contrary to what Yahoo Finance, The Fool, and other resources are leading the public to believe, right?

It is important to note that these institutions are purchasing millions in AMC stock.

Just a side note here: if AMC isn’t a good investment like some sources are pumping out, then why have large institutions been buying AMC stock all year…

My educated guess? Large institutions aren’t going to be wanting to miss out on upcoming gains from a short squeeze.

Aside from a short squeeze however, AMC Entertainment seems to be a good buy even as a long-term stock.

Adam Aron, CEO and President of AMC has shared his optimistic views towards the direction of his company.

AMC is a good buy with or without a short squeeze.

What is a short squeeze?

AMC short squeeze

A short squeeze occurs when a stock jumps sharply higher, forcing short sellers to buy higher, causing them to lose money.

This in turn makes the retail investor (you and I) a LOT of money.

This notion of an upcoming short squeeze is drawing in a lot of attention.

This is why we’re seeing AMC stock go up as well. Its purchase share volume is going up.

And where there’s attention, there’s money to be made.

Volume is important for an AMC short squeeze

As more and more retail investors get in on AMC and continue to buy and hold, we’re going to keep experiencing the stock price rise.

Because volume is such an important factor, retail investors and institutions will need to not only buy the dips but the gains as well.

By buying the gains in increments, the market processes this as a demand in the stock; further driving up the share price.

This massive volume we’ve been seeing all year has allowed AMC to skyrocket past $70 per share back in June.

And it’s prepped for another massive runup.

The main reason why AMC stock will keep going up

AMC will go up

AMC is currently one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the market.

Short-sellers such as Melvin Capital who’ve bet against the century old movie theatre chain has lost millions in the process.

The same can be said about Citadel Securities who’s now under a massive investigation for it’s predatory practices.

These are the folk that don’t care about workers losing their jobs, or about the companies success.

This hits home to most retail investors which is why the conviction is so strong within the community.

The way these short-sellers make money is quite simple.

They short the stock.

Shorting a stock is the process by which sellers essentially bet on the stock price to drop. They borrow stocks at a higher cost, sell it, and buy the stock low, profiting the difference and driving the share price to the ground.

Since AMC’s share price has been soaring all year, hedge funds continue to amass losses.

Fortunately, retail investors like the stock and are against shorting it.

This is why AMC continues to go up.

Retail investors have all the time in the world to see this short squeeze through.

Shorts however, are paying the price every day.

And if you’re wondering, yes this is exactly what occurred with GameStop earlier this year.

Melvin Capital suffered 49% loss 1st quarter

Melvin Capital
AMC goes up and hedge funds lose money

Melvin Capital is a hedge fund that shorted both AMC and GameStop stock earlier this year.

Melvin Capital suffered a 49% loss it’s first quarter of 2021, via. Markets Insider.

Another honorable mention is that of Archegos and Mudrick who also got burned.

There are still hard-head hedge funds such as Citadel Securities who continue to short the stock.

The question is how long will they last before they too go belly up?

Reddit likes AMC stock

r/wallstreet bets like AMC stock

The people, along with Reddit retail investors do not want the movie theaters closed.

They are purchasing AMC’s dips and holding the stock. This is where the terms diamond hands comes from; refraining from selling.

According to Robinhood, AMC is the most held stock beating both Apple (AAPL) and Tesla (TSLA), via Nasdaq.

This means AMC shareholders will eventually have leverage over the stock from short-sellers as the price goes up.

As long as retail investors continue to hold, we’ll begin to see a supply and demand situation.

Short-sellers will eventually have to buy from retail investors to cover their positions, inevitably driving AMC’s share price higher.

Positive AMC Theater News!

AMC movie theaters across the entire country are selling out! New releases are serving the movie theater industry very well.

Godzilla vs. Kong secures $9.6 million in ticket sales

AMC theater - Godzilla vs Kong

Warner Bros. said Thursday that “Godzilla vs. Kong” secured $9.6 million in ticket sales on its opening night. This has been a record debut for the pandemic. As of April 26th it has done over $400 million global!

Leave me a comment below if you watched the film. I personally loved it.

Mortal Kombat & Demon Slayer outperform earnings

Mortal Kombat brought in 23.3 million its opening weekend. Critics expected Mortal Kombat to reach no more than 15 million. A huge victory for the cinema industry! Not only that but Demon Slayer drew in another whopping 19.5 million its opening weekend.

AMC theater Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat reps the biggest R-rated opening to-date during the pandemic. The beautiful thing is that we have other amazing titles coming to the movies that can continue to scale beyond these numbers.

The top 10 locations for Mortal Kombat were:

1. AMC Burbank Los Angeles, 2. Santikos Palladium San Antonio, 3. Cinemark Tinseltown El Paso, 4. Santikos Casa Blanca San Antonio, 5. AMC Orange Los Angeles, 6. Cinemark Pharr Town Center (Texas), 7. AMC Empire New York, 8. Cinemark Century 16 Corpus Christi, 9. AMC Gulf Pointe Houston, and 10. AMC Southlake Pavilion Atlanta.

I have not watched Demon Slayer yet but Mortal Kombat was a fun film to watch.

I grew up on the video games (shoutout to GameStop) and the older films so seeing this today made my year.

If you have not gone out to your local AMC theater I recommend you do.

A Quiet Place Part II: $57 Million Pandemic Record

A Quiet Place Part 2 earnings
Movie theater earnings: A Quiet Place Part 2

A Quiet Place Part 2 debuted in theaters on Friday May 28 and broke pandemic records in the cinema industry.

Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part 2 topped Godzilla vs. Kong and Mortal Kombat combined on their opening night reaching $57 million over the Memorial Day Weekend. A huge congrats to the industry and AMC Entertainment.

As more Americans continue to get vaccinated, health concerns ease. AMC Entertainment is seeing a critical mass effect as the public feels safer. I’m personally happy for the century old company and its shareholders invested in the stock.

The Conjuring Earns $11.5 Million Opening Weekend in the U.S.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It earned $11.5 million its opening weekend and grossing 57.1 million worldwide.

Wall Street analyst upgrades AMC Theatres

Wall street analyst says, ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ “Destroys lingering concerns around theatrical window importance and demonstrates a solid path to resurgence”, via. Hollywood Reporter.

Eric Wold goes on to say, “Consumers want to leave the house and return to the theater.”

There seems to be a massiveness of positivity going around for the theater industry, especially AMC being the leader. As AMC continues to increase their sales revenue with hit titles, you can expect AMC’s stock price to continue surging. Massive victory for the AMC theaters!

Is It Too Late To Get In On AMC Stock?

In short, no. With the price of AMC stock being affordable to majority of the public, it’s a steal right now.

Especially considering it has set a new floor in the mide $30 range and has touched $50 per share twice now; once in June and again in September.

The ape community plans on taking this stock above $100 fundamentally through buying pressure before squeezing shorts from their positions.

I strongly believe AMC will do great post pandemic, and apparently so do other institutions (with or without a short squeeze).

Another great analyst on YouTube is Roensch Capital. They provide more detailed analysis on the stock if you’re into deep chart digging. While Trey is more energetic and entertaining to watch, Roensch Capital is a little more serious and dives in straight to the research.
