Has AMC been openly leftist in the past?

Why the gimmick? If the purpose is to suppress the film, just don’t show it!

I saw the movie Friday night in Kankakee, IL... the theater was comfortable the whole night.

One particular truck stop chain controls the thermostats remotely from headquarters. I assume other companies can do the same.

I would not in a million years discount this. The Left, at all levels, has shown that there is no level of detail they are not prepared to leverage to advance their agenda.

It is worth looking into. How difficult would it be to find out what theaters are in question, and get verification that there were issues with the AC before the movie was released, or that a company can verify there is an open support case with their vendor who services their infrastructure?

If it really were an issue, I am sure the theater chain would readily provide that information (provided it wasn’t just gun-decked after the fact)

Exactly. Inane.

Perhaps the theaters should just sprinkle hot pepper in the AC ducts so everyone starts sneezing and has to leave the theater.

Why would a theater want to lose money?

So theater chains are going to sabotage their own business because of a controversial movie that is making money for them? It’s tough enough to get people into the seats as it is. I was at a movie yesterday and it cost more more the coke and food than what the admission was. Way too much conspiracy crap on everything these days. Sounds like a plot from “Undercover Brother”!

Why would Bud wanna lose money?

Why would Disney?

FNC?

Coca Cola?

Gillette?

Pro sports?

See where I’m going with this.

It’s not about the money.

Not to Deep State.

They aren’t conspiracy theories.

They’re spoilers.

Not sure if this really was a purposeful thing or not, but there really is on purpose I would suspect the theater schedule was set before the cancel culture imams issued their fatwa against it.

I’m thinking, if this is true, that big money studios might have worked a “deal” with theaters.

Interesting threads here...

Looks like theaters are purposely sabotaging Sound of Freedom viewing experience by turning down the volume and increasing theater temps. They all claim a/c problems.

AMC Theaters Across The Country Have No AC in "The Sound of Freedom" Screening Room.

People all over are experiencing sabotage in the theaters as they try to watch Sound of Freedom. AC turned off, volume too low to hear, smallest venue in the building possible...

And then there's this from a couple of days ago...

AMC pulls documentary featuring detransitioners from theaters in face of pressure

I agree. At the point the patrons are in the theater, they’ve paid for their ticket. If they leave halfways through, well the theater still has the money.
