Stop asking "do you really think," which you've done five(!) times already. It is irrelevant what I think. My comments are backed by reputable sources. If you have facts, post them.
Your comments are only backed by your misinterpretations of the sources. There is a reason that I am asking you to analyze what you read. What you are saying is not how business operates.
Have you personally ever worked at a major corporation where someone decided to unilaterally change the terms with 6 or 7 suppliers. What are the chances that all 7 very litigious studios would have gone along with AMC making that decision and just shrugging?
You said yourself that AMC has very slim profit margins. One lawsuit would wipe their earnings out.
Your comments were actually not backed by any sources.
On the other hand, our comments are backed by reputable sources, and in my case also by actual experience dealing with theaters and movie studios, including as an advisor.
