I think with AMC a lot of it is just unfortunate timing. A-List was a long term investment that was gonna put them in the hole for the short term, and I heard it only very recently started to become profitable for them. Then you add to that the recent expansions they did, and I think they just never expected to take such a massive financial hit like this anytime soon.
At least I hope that's the case, as I work for a much smaller chain than AMC and if they can't make it, then I'm extremely nervous for the rest of us. I really hope they recover though, because my own job prospects aside, this will put SO MANY people out of a job, and beyond that, my nearby AMC is my favorite theater, and I LOVE A-List. I would be very sad to see them go.
Yeah, I fear my more local chain who just went into bankruptcy is going to fold over this, rather than losing a few theaters...
