Your Family Entertainment AG: Excellent double-digit growth in sales and strong earnings in the first half of 2022

Growth is attributed to deal with GNUS.
The Chizicks' lawsuit is over, voluntary dismissal with prejudice. No fees or costs assigned to either party. It's document #84.

Edited transcripts of yesterday's conference call.

I think most of it is traders and people using technical analysis following suit (both up and down).
Did you read the 10Q, listen to the conference call, and watch the episode of "Shaq's garage"?

While it lasts.
Yep. It should do well while Marvel stuff does well.
Nope. Not too shabby.
It was at the low end of my expectation (+/- Disney payment). I think WOW's revenue is still growing.
It looks like Disney paid about $2.4 million for the Stan Lee license. (Note 4 page 29 of the 10Q).
Genius Brands Announces 843% Revenue Growth to a Record $21.2 Million for the 2nd Quarter of 2022

Found this:
https://games-stats.com/steam/?title=Baldur%27s+Gate&tag=rpg
It looks like data only for Steam. If I am reading it right:
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance about 290,000 units
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 about 120,000 units
Edit
Sorry. Those are not unit sales, they are dollar sales numbers
$290,000 for Dark Alliance
$120,000 for Dark Alliance 2
No, they are just claiming they are still in business. The company still has a funding problem. Tommy Tallarico stepped down as CEO back in February, replaced by Phil Adam.
If anyone is interested in the Chizicks' lawsuit against GNUS, GNUS filed their answers to the amended complaint. It explains their charge against the Chizicks of insider trading; Harold sold GNUS shares while he knew that GNUS was about to purchase companies. It explains the effects on the deals and on GNUS shareholders.
It's document 79, "Answers With Counter-Claim(s)"
https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/DocumentList?docketId=dM5QiC4qNjUwNmBN0qO9_PLUS_g==&PageNum=2&narrow=
30 to 40 million shares short out of over 300 million shares outstanding. It's like a firecracker. Institutions still have warrants outstanding for well over 40 million shares (about $2.4+ conversion price) and 40 to 60 million shares. If they are the ones shorting, they can cover with little problem.
Maybe, I'm hoping so. But, that backlog covers about 30 months into the future. GNUS is carrying high level of debt and they still need to account for purchasing WOW. On the plus side is Disney paying for rights to Stan Lee's name and likeness and possible future royalties. An 100th Stan Lee birthday celebration is planned for the end of the year, but there still isn't much public information about it.
GNUS is up about 40% off the lows, from a few months ago, GNUS needs to be near break-even or better or have good guidance to that. Retail shareholders have been burned too many times for the share price to explode on blind anticipation.

It's part of the interview. It misses some of the important points.
Andy said that the deal generates a licensing fee for the 20 year deal and royalties. Revenue should show up in the Q2 report.
It does have the video, so you can watch it.

As someone that doesn't have a Facebook or Twitter account, I find it useless. IPLY lets both companies limit my access to any posts.
I'd feel better if the stock were able to trade freely.
