Meme stocks were mostly on the rise on Wednesday, as GameStop (NYSE:GME) and Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) gained 2.65% and 3.12% respectively. AMC has been unable to capitalize on a busy weekend at the box office, and the stock is now trading lower this week despite a surge on Monday to start the week.

AMC investors will be happy to learn that some prominent Hollywood directors are actually fighting for longer theatrical windows for their movies. Christopher Nolan, who directed Dunkirk, the Dark Knight series, and Tenet, had some high demands for his upcoming movie Oppenheimer. Nolan requested a 100-day theatrical window, which far exceeds the 45-day window for Marvel’s Shang-Chi. The request was not able to be met by movie studios like Apple and Warner Brothers, but Universal was able to guarantee Nolan’s demands. The news is obviously important for companies like AMC, and it will be interesting to see if other directors adopt Nolan’s stance on longer theatrical windows.
