Chris Hill: What can a board member do for a company stock price? In the case of one business today the answer appears to be a nine percent bump. Details next, Motley Fool Money starts now. I’m Chris Hill and joining me today, Motley Fool Senior Analyst, Bill Mann. Thanks for being here. Bill Mann: My voice is a little hoarse today, Chris. I went to go see Top Gun: Maverick last night, so I’ve got lots to talk about and no voice to do it. Chris Hill: What a perfect combination. Bill Mann: I’m not going to lie.

Bill Mann: I think that’s absolutely the case. It was estimated because the numbers aren’t as clean going around the world, but it was 280 million worldwide on it’s open. That’s impressive even more so because it didn’t open in China or in Russia. This was a huge open. It was a sign of a couple of things to me and I really don’t want to talk about AMC, but it is a sign that theaters are back, that the we are at a point in which people are comfortable going to the movie theaters and they did so in huge numbers. It also, to me, not to become film credit, because I know you don’t want that […]
