I agree a buyout now with AMC so cheap will be a tragic mistake on our AMC side. AA would have to be insane to sell AMC at $12 or any price in this vicinity. The best deal is he makes a business alliance for a sale of a large stack in AMC stock to give AA significant cash to pay off large size of debt.

Agree. The notion that Disney would buy AMC is ludicrous. Recently there has been mention of ways that DIS and AMC can complement each other, while still being competitors, but there is no basis, much less a factual basis, for the social media hype floating out of a potential merger or buyout.

What's the deal?

Earlier this week, AMC CEO Adam Aron tweeted an image of Disney+ perks that include special screenings at AMC theaters. The two entertainment companies have a solid relationship based on decades of Disney movies showing in AMC theaters. AMC also operates theaters at Disney Springs, a resort area that's part of Disney World.

That announcement coincided with Disney+ Day, an event running from Sept. 8 through Sept. 19 in which Disney said it would be showing screenings of Disney favorites at a group of AMC theaters. These are open to any viewer for $5 per ticket, with a special concessions offer for Disney+ subscribers.

Both of these companies are figuring out how to navigate the new normal as they recover from pandemic declines. So although the companies appear to have competing agendas, they have discovered they can complement each other and both benefit.
