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.

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.
