From Breakingviews: European zombie companies are proliferating faster than ever before due to the COVID-19 crisis

ROCKY GROUND. AMC Entertainment, the struggling global cinema operator, is suing New Jersey over coronavirus-related closures, Reuters reports. Along with other movie-theater chains, it’s saying the U.S. state should let them reopen having allowed churches, retail stores and other places to do so. It’s one sign of the company’s economic distress.

Cruise ships aside, it’s hard to find many businesses as vulnerable to a pandemic as movie theaters. Unfortunately for AMC, with digital streaming eroding its audiences long before Covid-19 arrived, it’s not the only threat to its long-term survival.
