Despite a massive growth in Netflix and home videos over the past decade, AMC has managed to flourish since interest by the movie going public remains bouyant. This is due perhaps due to the never ending Hollywood industry which feeds a hungry audience for movie entertainment in the US and globally.Make great movies and the people will come. Year-end stock mean expectation is around $37.
