If you work in the movie theater industry, you’ve probably heard about this merger already. There's a good chance AMC will need to divest some theaters before this goes through, but they’re not so much bigger than Regal that I see it getting stopped entirely. Two chains controlling 40% of the screens in the country just seems like a bad idea to me, though.
Incidentally, if you’re curious about the takeover of the movie theater industry in the 20s and 30s, you can head over to Turn Out the Stars When You Leave (a.k.a. my MFA thesis project).
Multiplex 10 is here!
Although Multiplex 10 has ended, an animated prequel/reboot called Multiplex 10 was funded through Kickstarter in 2017 and is NOW AVAILABLE for rent or purchase on Vimeo On Demand, Amazon Video, and elsewhere! And an all-new, irregularly-updated Multiplex 10 web series (set after the short film) recently launched on YouTube! Learn more about the web series on the official Multiplex 10 website!
