This sucks for now but who knows how long their spending spree will last and if they can even hold on to AMC for more than a few years if their economy tanks.

Or I may be full of rice.

Ya, and people freaked out and on the news they showed a group of average Americans worried about the Japanese takeover of America huddled around in some vacant parking lot with a couple of Japanese made cars- each taking turns at them with sledgehammers.

Hell, MAD magazine did a back cover spoof that the fold over was a pic of the White House with the new placard on the outside gates saying something like under new management: property of Japan.

I'm sad AMC isn't keeping its KC roots / ownership. Just remember not all buyouts are wise investments and there will most likely be a shift that hits China and those other emerging markets bc no countries economy is bulletproof- I think we saw that here a few years ago and its gonna take probably another 10 years to hopefully right the cluster**** we got handed by Wall St.
