AMC expects nearly all of its 56 multiplexes in California to be open by Friday, as long as local approvals are secured. With New York City reopening its theaters earlier this month, we finally have AMC serving the country's two largest markets for the first time since mid-March of last year.</p><p><blockquote>更多的AMC影院继续启动放映机，今天晚些时候，洛杉矶的两家标志性电影院将在关闭一年后重新开放。AMC预计，只要获得当地批准，其在加州的56家多厅影院几乎都将在周五前开业。随着纽约市本月早些时候重新开放影院，AMC终于自去年3月中旬以来首次为美国最大的两个市场提供服务。</blockquote></p><p> AMC isn't exactly at full strength yet, though. Audiences are limited to between 20% and 40% of a theater's capacity, and to be fair that's not what's really keeping numbers down. Box office receipts across all theater chains fell 92% last month relative to February of last year, and that's pretty much where ticket sales have been for thepast five months. Folks aren't comfortable returning to even largely empty theaters in the pandemic. A lack of exclusive content is also hurting, as three of this year's four highest-grossing movies --<i>Tom and Jerry</i>,<i>Wonder Woman 1984</i>, and<i>Raya and the Last Dragon</i>-- were available to stream at home the same day they hit local multiplexes.</p><p><blockquote>不过，AMC还没有完全发挥出实力。观众人数被限制在剧院容量的20%到40%之间，公平地说，这并不是真正降低人数的原因。与去年2月相比，上个月所有连锁影院的票房收入下降了92%，这几乎是过去五个月的票房收入。人们不愿意回到疫情基本上空无一人的剧院。缺乏独家内容也是一种伤害，因为今年票房最高的四部电影中有三部--<i>汤姆和杰瑞</i>,<i>神奇女侠1984</i>，和<i>拉亚和最后的龙</i>--在当地多厅影院上映的同一天，就可以在家里观看。</blockquote></p><p> Things should get better on all fronts. Just 11% of the country is now fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus, but nearly twice as many folks have already received the first dose. More than a third of all seniors are now fully vaccinated. The percentages will improve, and President Biden has said that there should be enough vaccines on hand to cover all adults by the end of May.</p><p><blockquote>各方面的情况都应该变得更好。目前，该国只有11%的人完全接种了新冠肺炎病毒疫苗，但已经接种第一剂疫苗的人数是其近两倍。超过三分之一的老年人现在已经完全接种了疫苗。这一比例将会提高，拜登总统表示，到5月底，手头应该有足够的疫苗覆盖所有成年人。</blockquote></p><p> There's also encouraging news of movie buffs flocking to theater chains in markets outside the U.S. market.<i>Avatar</i>overtook<i>Avengers: Endgame</i>in worldwide gross over the weekend, a seemingly throwaway stat of the planet's two highest grossing films if not for the fact that it happened because the reissue of<i>Avatar</i>in China raked in $21 million in ticket sales. A single old movie scored more box office receipts in China than all U.S. ticket sales combined this past weekend.</p><p><blockquote>还有令人鼓舞的消息称，电影迷纷纷涌向美国市场以外的连锁影院。<i>阿凡达</i>超车<i>复仇者联盟：终局之战</i>在周末的全球票房中，这似乎是地球上票房最高的两部电影的一次性统计，如果不是因为它的重新发行<i>阿凡达</i>在中国的票房收入为2100万美元。上周末，一部老电影在中国的票房收入超过了美国所有票房收入的总和。</blockquote></p><p> One can argue that things have changed closer to home. Hollywood has fully embraced digital streaming alternatives, andmedia stocksare hitting fresh highs these days because the market appreciates the potential of the direct-to-consumer platforms that they're feeding. We'll find out more where consumers are at when studios start cranking out the tentpole releases that they have pushed out into this summer and beyond. AMC's prospects of surviving are ultimately brighter now than they were a week ago.</p><p><blockquote>有人可能会说，离家更近的事情已经发生了变化。好莱坞已经完全接受了数字流媒体替代方案，媒体股票最近创下新高，因为市场欣赏它们所提供的直接面向消费者的平台的潜力。当工作室开始推出他们在今年夏天及以后推出的tentpole版本时，我们将了解更多消费者的情况。AMC现在的生存前景最终比一周前更加光明。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b6ed6c21310d3de924bc8b718a4e1df8\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> IMAGE SOURCE: GAMESTOP.</p><p><blockquote>图片来源：游戏驿站。</blockquote></p><p> <b>GameStop plays a new game</b></p><p><blockquote><b>游戏驿站玩新游戏</b></blockquote></p><p> The catalyst for the video game retailer came early in the week.

The chain has tied to make a play for the direct-to-consumer market before. However, with fresh eyes -- and a brand that became a lot more ubiquitous in recent weeks -- GameStop has a fighting chance.</p><p><blockquote>对于游戏驿站来说，数字化并不是什么新鲜事。该连锁店此前曾涉足直接面向消费者的市场。然而，有了新鲜的眼光——以及最近几周变得更加普遍的品牌——游戏驿站有机会战斗。</blockquote></p><p> Bears will argue that the valuations make even less sense for both AMC and GameStop stock after last week's surge.
