AMC did report some good news on Tuesday, as the theater chain is taking over a couple of prime locations from Arclight theaters. The two new theaters will be in San Diego and Washington DC, and is likely a part of the company’s long-term plan of making it through the ongoing pandemic. The company continues to take over leases of theater complexes that have closed down during the pandemic, and is reportedly still seeking out additional locations to add to its 950 global locations.

AMC stock forecast

AMC is also holding another exclusive NFT giveaway for people who reserve tickets to the Batman movie through AMC’s website or mobile app. The company previously held giveaways for Spider Man: No Way Home and an initial giveaway for shareholders last year. NFTs or non fungible tokens are becoming popular collectibles for those who are interested in blockchain technology.
