All three major indices closed lower for the second straight day as investors looked ahead to Friday’s key payroll and employment data for the month of September.

AMC stock price
In a major partnership announcement, AMC and Netflix (NFLX) signed an agreement to play one of Netflix’s new movies in up to 200 AMC theaters. This is the first time that AMC and Netflix have joined forces and comes on the heels of AMC’s partnership with Walt Disney (DIS) earlier this year. The deal will see AMC theaters play the new movie Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery across the US and in select locations across Europe as well. Both companies have struggled this year for different reasons. Moviegoers have not returned to theaters at pre-pandemic levels, while Netflix is undergoing a restructuring plan to help mitigate a drop in subscribers.
Other meme stocks were also on the decline as APE preferred units hit a new all-time low closing price of $2.24. GameStop (GME) and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) were also below water, while Hycroft Mining (HYMC) also continued to fall further below the $1 price level.
