Meme stocks were mixed on Monday as they carried their struggles over from the previous month. AMC and APE preferred units both hit new 52-week low prices, and the combined value of AMC Entertainment's two equity tickers hit a price of $9.32. Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) also dropped by 1.6% after Goldman Sachs reiterated its Sell rating for the stock with a miniscule $2 price target. GameStop (GME) managed to post a 1.4% gain after Bitcoin and the crypto markets saw a brief rally on Monday.
Halloween month is officially here as horror movie Smle took home the top spot at the box office this past weekend with $22 million domestically and $14.5 million internationally in ticket sales. Despite this, ticket sales are still down this year even when compared to pre-pandemic years like 2019. In fact, it was the weakest third quarter at the box office since 1998, something that will likely weigh on AMC’s revenues and earnings for the quarter.
