AMC would never ask if it was a private company holding the majority of shares.

But they know you, emotional people just might be stupid enough if they ask nice enough and make it sound good. And no AMC will not close down or slow down in any way without these shares. This will be one of the best years they have ever seen and already have enough money to last them throughout this year and more. CEO said himself on live TV they raised 2 billion in January before any of this shit happened.
