NASDAQ:RDBX has been a difficult meme stock to predict. Shares of the meme stock were lower by more than 12% on Friday but Redbox still managed to close the session in the green. Overall the stock fell by 30% last week, but shares are still up by a staggering 108% during the past month of trading. Overall, Redbox has been outperforming the broader markets, following another bearish week on Wall Street. The S&P 500 recorded its worst trading week since 2020 as the relentless bear market continues to place downward selling pressure on US stocks.

Retail traders seeking out the next big short squeeze might want to think about holding Redbox for a little bit longer. According to Fintel, the stock continues to boast a short interest of 103.5% as of Monday. That remains one of the highest amongst stocks on Wall Street and with short interest that high, there is certainly a chance that it could squeeze again. Social sentiment remains high as well as short squeeze hunters look for stocks specifically with high short interest. The interesting thing with Redbox is that it is set to be acquired by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (NASDAQ:CSSE) by the end of this year.

It failed to knock off Jurassic World from the top spot. Initial estimates for Lightyear was an opening weekend of more than $70 million.
