Too funny. Some folks are just primed to find a conspiracy..in the most mundane events. A/C goes out..conspiracy. Equip malfunction...conspiracy. Lines too long...conspiracy. Lines too short...conspiracy. Film sold-out..conspiracy. Theater empty..conspiracy.
Get a fuckin' grip people!
The CEO of major U.S.-based cinema chain AMC Theatres has dismissed claims that his company was stopping screenings of the film Sound of Freedom as "garbage."
Adam Aron took to Twitter to shut down "conspiracy theorists" who called for a boycott of his company over accusations that it was blocking the film from being shown.
AMC has more than 600 locations across the country with around 7,850 screens, making it the largest theater chain in the U.S.
Some people have complained of broken air-conditioning, canceled screenings and technical issues when they tried to watch the movie, with some seeing those incidents as a deliberate attempt to stop people seeing the film.
"Sadly, conspiracy theorists are so prevalent in America. So much garbage information is spread. More than ONE MILLION people have watched Sound of Freedom at AMC Theatres. More than at any other theatre chain on the planet. Yet people falsely claim otherwise. It is so bizarre," Aron tweeted.
Angel Studios, who distributed the film, told Newsweek AMC has been "wonderful to work with."
"Our theatrical partners at AMC, CineMark, Regal, and beyond have been absolutely wonderful to work with—they're helping us add theaters as we speak in the middle the busy summer movie season," said Matthew Faraci of Angel Studios.
