AMC isn’t the only company with a major release this weekend. Beleaguered streaming company Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has the first half of the final season of Stranger Things debuting on Friday. Meanwhile Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) is debuting the Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars spinoff on its Disney+ streaming service as well. AMC investors are hoping that these new releases won’t keep movie goers from heading to the theaters this weekend. Streaming services have made a massive dent into the sales of the theater industry, particularly when platforms like Disney+ launch titles simultaneously.
AMC stock forecast
AMC is preparing for the launch of the long-awaited sequel to the original Top Gun movie. Top Gun:Maverick is expected to rival movies like the Batman and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in terms of opening weekends. AMC Apes are certainly anticipating this to be another record-setting weekend, which is likely why the stock has been trending on social media this week.
