AMC has chosen a different location, and today announced the purchase of the former Arclight Theater in The Hub on Causeway, a large-scale mixed-use complex in Boston's North Station. The 13 screen cinema is brand new – opened in December 2019 and closed three months later due to Covid-19.

Purchase price not disclosed. AMC has purchased several theaters in the wake of the pandemic and said today that it is looking at more consolidation opportunities to "diversify away from operating regions and enhance our footprint by acquiring outstanding theaters without incurring significant capital expenditures."

The movie theater giant provided updates on its debt, cash position and other metrics in its financial report to investors, which had to reassure Wall Street amid reports of uncomfortable cash spending and potential problems ahead. Shares of Mem Volatility, which is widely held by retail investors, fell at midday.

CEO Adam Aron noted the network's "increased liquidity" by raising more than $162 million in cash from the sale of APE or AMC preferred stock. This is a new currency that the company launched earlier this year (to raise capital by issuing new AMC common stock after shareholders exit the company). This helped him pay off his huge debt load. It reported total deductions of $107 million for the quarter and $180 million for the year.

According to AMC, as of December 31, liquidity will be between $725 million and $825 million, including $211 million in unused revolving credit facilities — "depending on performance over the remainder of the holiday season." 2022 and the blessing of the owner of the land. the time. "

"This reflects an improvement in cash and cash equivalents and a slight decrease from $110 million to $210 million compared to the third quarter of 2022," AMC said.

AMC shares are volatile and APE shares have fallen in value since the issue, Aron said, but they still provide much-needed liquidity.

“While APE stock and our common stock are economically equivalent, it is unfortunate that APE stock has consistently traded at a significant discount to AMC's common stock since its inception. Although the transaction values ​​of the securities seem to reflect different market and business activities, APAs serve the purpose which it was originally intended to serve.Unlike the previous 90 days, AMC was able to raise an additional $162 million in cash through the sale of shares, significantly improving the liquidity of our position during a period when one or more of our competitors experienced potentially adverse liquidity problems. Aaron D.

APE is currently trading at around 70 cents, down 2.5%. Shares of AMC fell more than 5% to less than $5. Investors are unfazed by the performance of Avatar: The Waterway , which AMC released separately this morning.

"Driving on the strength of the premium format and moviegoers' strong desire to return to Pandora…the company significantly exceeded US and international admissions and F&B revenue for Jumanji: The Next Level that weekend compared to the same weekend prior to the 2019 pandemic."

Madison Square Garden Entertainment Rises As MS Upgrades Ahead Of Potential Spin

Madison Square Garden Entertainment ( NYSE:MSGE ) shares edged up Thursday in premarket trading as Morgan Stanley updated the media and entertainment company ahead of a possible spin-off of its live entertainment business.

Analyst Benjamin Swinburne upgraded his equilibrium rating on Madison Square Garden Entertainment (MSGE) from underweight, noting that its stock in MSG has fluctuated since its New York office was announced on Aug. 18 and a possible spin-off into a new company, nightclub operator TAO . and its networks, shares fell 33% compared to a 7% decline in the S&P 500. And while the details of the spin-off have changed since that initial announcement, a transaction is still likely to unlock shareholder value, Swinburne said.

“Due to the top-line and underperformance, we see a more balanced risk/reward tradeoff and an improvement in [balance],” the analyst wrote in a note to clients.

In an updated sum-of-the-parts analysis, Swinburne found that both companies would be worth $75 in a bull case but $25 in a bear case due to leverage and lower EBITDA potential.

However, Swinburne noted that in the coming year there will be greater insight into the revenue potential of the $2.2 billion MSG Sphere project, as well as a better understanding of the profitability of its New York sites. including Madison Square Garden. . And while regional sports networks, like namesake MSG, continue to come under pressure, Swinburne noted that it’s likely “already leaking through to stock prices.”

Last month, Jefferies downgraded shares of Madison Square Garden Entertainment (MSGE) citing “dirty” real estate values.

Analysts are mostly cautious on Madison Square Garden Entertainment (MSGE). It has a stable rating from the authors of Seeking Alpha, while Wall Street analysts have given it a stable rating. Additionally, Searching Alpha’s Quantum Systems, which has consistently outperformed the market, rates MSGE as a SELL .

My heroes of the show: life and we all must obey both. Whether it’s signing autographs and selfies for his countless fans, pulling off stunts, breaking box office records, or shooting a movie on a spooky space station, Tom Cruise is ready to prove that the only way to approach 60 is at full speed. . Taylor Swift for giving the current generation what previous generations needed and appreciated; Cockroaches. If you are willing to risk everything for the truth, a Breton classic to wake up everyone possible in independent cinema. Taylor Sheridan to show that writers can matter, that writers can change businesses, that writers can remind us that the United States is made up of countries outside of Los Angeles and New York. Despite the woes of old age, the loss of Charlie Watts, naysayers and the laws of gravity, the Rolling Stones will continue to deliver good vibes to fans around the world. Marianne Faithful is the last living goddess of beat culture. Bob Dylan will be the beacon, Donovan the beacon, Mavis Staples the light. Dave Chappelle will explain to Trump.

Thankfully, there are finally Oscar nominees who can carry on and keep the show going, and I hope the Academy doesn’t relegate the crafting categories to secondary status. Thankfully, the Taylor Swift Ticketmaster debacle shows that even in the age of small personal screens, live events are still a powerful force in entertainment. We are grateful for the rise of ad-supported streaming because it gives us more choice and justifies the old multi- channel cable model that now relies on new technologies;

From Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All to the fast-paced Apple TV+ series The Gap, I’m thankful for a year of compelling and emotionally stimulating stories. What many of last year’s critically acclaimed films and series have in common is a shared curiosity about what it really means to be human, a question I find myself asking more and more. But the most impressive cinematography to come out in 2022 is undoubtedly Everything, Everywhere, Now. An all-star performance by Michelle Yeoh, Ke Hui Guan and Stephanie Hsu combined with an emotional soundtrack by Son Lux makes this genre film a masterfully crafted work of art – Katsi Reul, Editorial Intern

Entertainment Industry Reacts To Autumn Statement

Entertainment Industry Reacts To Autumn Statement

The Night Watch Industries Association (NTIA) said the autumn statement did not go far enough and entertainment trade associations and industry groups reacted to the chancellor’s announcement.

Jeremy Hunt delivered his autumn statement to MPs in the House of Commons on Thursday, saying he would have to take tough decisions to ensure a “small recession” but shrink the economy by 1.4% by 2023.

Michael Keel of NTIA, the trade body representing businesses in the UK’s night economy, said: “This Government is guilty of leaving thousands of businesses, millions of workers and self-employed people in the night economy. This budget does not go far enough. And there is still no clarity. There is And many SMEs and independent companies will no doubt disappear in the coming months.

“While businesses need to prepare for the busiest time of the year, they need to think about their future now and remember the fourth failed attempt to secure a budget to protect businesses during this time of crisis.

It does not take into account the human impact, which will have a devastating effect not only on entrepreneurs, but also on the people and families who dedicate their lives and livelihoods to this sector.”

Meanwhile, Greater Manchester nightlife consultant Sacha Lord has warned that entertainment venues could close earlier than during the pandemic.

He tweeted: “Operators are being pushed beyond their means and I fear we will face even bigger layoffs, shorter hours and site closures than during the pandemic. This is a very sad state of affairs.

“Consumer spending will now slow in the coming weeks and months as operators recover from the pandemic-related debt crisis at a time when they need support the most.

“Disposable income is a key pillar of the UK economy and I am very concerned that the measures outlined today will lead to a significant contraction in the sector. Luxury spending such as eating out is understandable. A period of contraction.

Live streaming chief executive John Collins said the chancellor’s autumn statement was “not good” for the live music industry.

The industry group represents industry interests, brings together 14 major live music associations and represents more than 4,000 artists.

Following the announcement, Collins said: “While we welcome the Government’s desire to stabilize the UK economy, we are currently doing little to secure the future of our £4.5bn industry and our 200,000 employees.

“Unprecedented working conditions are pushing our industry to the brink as popular venues close, tours are canceled and artists leave the industry.

“Pandemic hangovers and the rising cost of living have put huge pressure on the live music industry, with 54% of people saying they don’t want to go to a show.

“Today we are renewing our call for the reintroduction of reduced VAT rates on ticket sales to inject cash into ailing businesses, join other European countries and secure the future of live music for all.”

In response to the fall statement, Paul Pacifico, executive director of the Independent Music Association, called for investment in the next generation of creators.

He said: “AIM welcomes the government’s cut in corporation tax, but as small independent businesses face higher costs, British music could suffer if we don’t provide more incentives to invest in the next generation of creative and entrepreneurial talent.

“While we recognize the need for spending cuts in today’s Budget, we are asking the Government to seriously consider measures to support the future of the sector in the Spring Statement.

“For example, giving creative industries tax credit to UK music could play an important role in encouraging investment and maintaining a healthy music ecosystem.”

Philippa Childs, head of broadcast and creative industries union Bectu, criticized the budget, saying: “This budget does little to calm the perfect storm facing the UK theater sector. Local workers and businesses have been hit the hardest. The pandemic and the challenge of bringing audiences back

“They now face rising operating and living costs, including low wages, unpredictable jobs and declining social participation. This is in addition to the post-Brexit travel ban.

“The Chancellor talks about growth and stability, but this Budget looks like a missed opportunity to boost the UK’s creative sector. The ‘growth’ rhetoric of the Budget says little about how the Government wants to protect and support our world-class creative industries, which contribute culturally and economically

Childs said the “lack of specific support for self-employment” was “extremely disappointing” and that despite energy support payments for the most vulnerable, there was still “virtually nothing” in terms of injured “workers”. He suffers from epidemics and dangerous jobs.

The Music Venues Trust has called for a UK live music commission in response to the announcement.

The charity, which works to protect, preserve and improve the UK’s concert venues, released a statement: “The Music Venue Trust welcomes the Government’s announcement of tariff relief for retail, hospitality and leisure, including in most major UK cities. From 1 April 2023, concerts halls will expand from 50% to 75%.

“However, we have written to the Treasury seeking clarification on support for sites costing more than £110,000 – the Autumn Statement does not make clear what is paid for these sites.

“In January 2020, before the pandemic, the Government committed to a comprehensive review of corporate pricing in major music venues. We urge the Chancellor and Prime Minister to bring this review forward as soon as possible.

“The UK has the highest property tax for mass music venues in Europe. This must change if our live music industry is to remain competitive.

“The government has not decided to respond to calls to reduce VAT on ticket sales. The UK still has the highest VAT rate on concert tickets in Europe. This must change if the UK is to remain competitive.

He added: “The government says it is committed to stability and growth. Despite the commendable steps it has taken to secure another 12 months of stability in trading prices, many opportunities to stabilize and grow the live music industry continue to be missed following the budget announcement.

“Our popular concerts deliver over 29,000 performances and over 170,000 performances to over 20 million people. This is an important sector with real growth potential, but one that has not been recognized or capitalized on in this Autumn Statement.

“The Music Venue Trust has called on the government to set up a live music commission. The organization can look for significant opportunities for stability and growth in the live music sector to inform future government policies to ensure that these opportunities are not systematically lost.

Hannah Essex, chief executive of Theater London and UK Theater Society, said: “The financial environment for theaters and producers remains difficult. Acquisition and production costs have risen sharply and our audiences’ incomes are falling amid the livelihoods crisis.

“In these circumstances, this budget increase and increase in retail, hospitality and leisure rates will provide a small safety net for some of our locations.”However, we are now asking the government to focus on measures that will boost economic growth.

“The theater industry is ready to work with government to ensure the growth of our world-leading sector.

“Other welcome steps include increased spending on education and we look forward to highlighting the benefits of arts and creative education alongside Sir Michael Barber as the government’s adviser on the Skills Agenda.

“And with the launch of the government’s new energy efficiency task force, the theater is promoting the Green Paper as an industry model for business practice.”

What to expect from the autumn statement – how much it can be
