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)

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”!

Sounds ridiculous - why would the theaters not simply refuse to show the movie in the first place? A lot easier than providing refunds to annoyed customers who will most likely not return to the theater they had a bad experience in.

Silly.

They don’t even have to screen it.

If they theater management doesn’t like the movie for its politics. Don’t show it or say the projector for it broke.

No need to ruin a person’s movie experience or treat a customer poorly.

This is silly and makes no sense.

How would this depress turnout as you wouldn’t know the AC is off until after you bought the ticket?

What, people demanding refunds after the movie starts? No way a theater manager would put up with that, and the AC is not controlled by the corporate office.

Also, as someone else pointed out, if the theatre companies wanted to suppress it, they just wouldn’t show the movie, not go through these kind of shenanigan’s.

These theaters are private companies. We can assume they like the money from ticket sales.

Besides that, if they didn’t want to show the movie for woke-management reasons, they could just claim “there’s no demand” and not show them.

They don’t need to torture movie-goers with an elaborate plot to turn off the AC

No. Who comes up with these stupid ideas? Really why would a theater cut their own revenue to mess with a movie? If they didn’t want it to make money they would just not show it. Really people, stop being so desperate to crawl on crosses. It’s summer, AC breaks sometimes.

Would they deliberately turn away profitable business? Why yes, they would, if they have received threats or bribes.

Some businesses are not in business to make money. Their purpose is to spread the party line. If they lose money, rich leftists make up the difference.

I believe there is suppression in play but it is probably pressure from Hollywood moguls to divert money into their crappy movies and away from Angel Films.

What a lot of people don’t realize is Hollywood has blackmailed the cinemas for a long time to their advantage. For example, they demand their movies show on Friday and Saturday nights against any and all indie films. They also demand cinemas show lesser Hollywood films if the cinemas wants access to blockbuster films.

The Hollywood motion picture industry is completely rigged and corrupt.

Movie moguls should be in prison for their ruthless business tactics.

That's OK. Folks can just make sure to buy the DVD or Bluray.I read once that Shawshank redemption,one of the best English language films ever made,did poorly at the box office. However,it turned out to be a colossal success with DVD and Bluray sales.
