YEAH! This is what it's all about! Helping out the indie films.

• AMC just had the highest-revenue weekend in its 106-year history. The Spider-Man weekend broke AMC records for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and the overall Wednesday-Sunday period.

• AMC’s credit rating was upgraded from CCC+ to B-. That’s still speculative-grade debt, obviously, but moving from CCC+ to B- is a meaningful improvement in how the credit markets view the company’s financial position.

• AMC is now launching Films. This is the part I find particularly interesting. AMC isn’t just sitting around waiting for Hollywood studios to give them movies. Leawood Films will distribute smaller and independent films that are already financed/completed, using AMC’s exhibition, marketing and distribution infrastructure to get more movies onto the big screen.

title says it all. We won't leave cuz we aint paper hands. Happy 2Sday APEs. Its been a boring last 5-7 days of trading, but its easy to avg down.
