AMC Entertainment posted a net loss of $4.59 billion for 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic forced most of its theaters to shutter for a large chunk of the past year.

Evan Agostini/Invision/APThe nation's largest movie theater chain also said in an earnings report Wednesday evening that it lost some $946 million in the last quarter of 2020 alone.

"As we sit here today, we see that vaccinations are occurring in the United States at a brisk clip, our theatres in New York City have finally opened with theatres in Los Angeles likely opening shortly as well, blockbuster movie titles are currently scheduled to be released in significant quantity in the coming few months, and we have more than $1 billion of cash on hand," Aron said in a statement.

"Since March of 2020, we have raised approximately $2.2 billion of gross cash proceeds from new debt and equity capital, securing more than $1 billion of concessions from creditors and landlords, raising more than $80 million from asset sales and seeing $600 million of convertible notes convert from debt to equity," Aron stated.

I can’t say I feel sorry fir them as they are the “ Concession Gorgers”. I hope they don’t try that “ We have to increase our prices to make up for the loss of revenue during the pandemic” - “We The People” can cancel that by not returning and that must go for all businesses.

What about the stock?

In this market, that should be good news. I bet the gained ground today....just kidding. How could a company that is near bankruptcy and report billions in losses have their stock gain ground on such terrible news?

Never understood going to a theater in the first place. Spend money on your own home theater.

So sad!

I wonder if streaming services might have something to do with this...
