Here are two headlines that can be more far apart

And yet we just saw the largest gross in the US box office. People are going out again for universally themed movies.

I’m inclined to believe Cinemark a bit more.

Movie theater attendance has gone up accordingly, but theater stock prices are not at an all-time high yet. Normally? trends like this can be sustainable for years

It says to me that in any business you are in, people want to get out of the house. So create an event, have some people over for coffee, and kibitz.

The DSA shouldn’t be the only ones allowed to socialize. Maybe there will be a time when I’ll be called a Socialist for talking so much.

(Let’s see if AI will come up with a $5 joke like that)

Here is a chart of my two favorite theaters. AMC may be the largest but it’s a meme stock and it has diluted so much of its shares I really just can’t consider it. If you want to participate in AMC, I have an idea about something that is related to AMC tangentially.

I have followed this forever since before COVID; they had the best bar in the city. Nevertheless, now they sell great merchandise at the theatres, and the viewing is enjoyable.

This was a sleeper stock until the past month and will eventually develop a definable pattern once the economists can ascertain a predictable attendance level.

There are two penny stock movie theatre plays that very few know about and that Mark Cuban owned for a while, and it is a very well-respected franchise.

I have beaten the bush about live attendance and theaters so subscribe to get two wonderful names, or google search it for free, but I think I do a better job presenting it.
