AMC just made a Move to Ban Universal films from playing in their cinemas.


WOW AMC just made a Move that might have just Bankrupt them before they reopen. Its been a rough few weeks with the Corona virus closing everything down, Cinema and hollywood have had to close down putting a strain on cinema companies and movie studios..

But some Hollywood studios instead of scrapping some of there film releases have had the good idea to release there films on VOD, one including Trolls tour which was slated to be a film no one was interested in but acord to reports it set a record by making million on VOD.


But Here where it get complicated Universal studios broke a contract with AMC cinema branch because they had a contract to show Trolls world tour as the first film when it reopens. But because Trolls has actually made millions on VOD, universal as decide to release their future films on both cinema and VOD at the same time which has piss off AMC and could very well annoy other cinema branches to ban universal film as well.


Because of Universal Move to do this AMC has now Banned all universal films being shown in their theaters  / cinema. which means Halloween kills, Candy man remake Jurassic world 3 and other universal films wont be showing in AMC Cinema due to the ban.

I see alot of Film companies doing this which does kind of stop piracy a little, though that will still happen, but im not sure if this is a good move or not for Universal financially or AMC when they are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the shut down this could very happen for alot of the other cinema companies like Odeon and other branches banning universal film's. what do you think?
