UPDATE: AMC stock lost 8.3% on Tuesday early in the session to trade at $10.63. The Nasdaq is down 3.3% at the same time as fallout from Snap's reduced outlook has hurt a broad swath of the market. This is especially true of growth and risky stocks. The growth-heavy Nasdaq Composite is down 3.3% on Tuesday morning even as the S&P 500 and Dow are down a reduced 2% and 1.2%, respectively. Over 6,000 call contracts expiring this Friday at a $12 strike price have exchange hands this morning. The last price they traded at was $0.27 per share.
NYSE:AMC started the week off with its third straight decline as the movie theater stock has now erased most of its gains from the previous week. On Monday, shares of AMC dropped by a further 3.74% and closed the trading session at $11.58. The broader markets snapped back on Monday after another week of sharp sell offs that saw all three major indices fall for the seventh consecutive week. The Dow Jones jumped by 618 basis points, while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ rose by 1.86% and 1.58% respectively during the session.

AMC’s running mate, GameStop (NYSE:GME) made a major announcement on Monday as the company continues its digital transformation. The original meme stock company announced that it would be releasing a non-custodial NFT and crypto wallet to be used on the Ethereum layer-2 network called Loopring. The news comes following recent rumors that GameStop is nearing a launch of its NFT marketplace that it is creating with another blockchain company called Immutable X. The Loopring crypto token saw a nice surge following the news but shares of GameStop only had a marginal gain of 0.48% during the session.
AMC stock forecast
It was another relatively slow week at the box offices and to no surprise, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness remained atop the standings for a third straight week. The Disney (NYSE:DIS) and Marvel film has now made over $800 million worldwide. The next big threat to Doctor Strange’s reign? Top Gun: Maverick which launches in the US on May 27th. Needless to say, AMC will need the blockbuster releases to continue if it wants to keep moviegoers in the seats.
