If it wasn't the Justice Department someone needed to stir it up. In fact it is curious that there is no government challenge because not only does it potentially make them a predatory circuit but they are owned by the Chinese...a Communist company owning an American cinema group. Will censorship come into play at some point?
Are you currently or have you ever shown a Communist movie? Or the other way around...a Capitalist movie.
There is no way Trump is going to allow this sale. No effing way.

BL&S has done many shows of “Alexander Nevsky” and “Scenes from Ivan the Terrible” with an full symphony orchestra and chorus performing the Prokofiev score live. Doesn’t get more communist than that.
And, it was on film, using a Soviet print, without subtitles. Those were projected on a separate screen. In at least one case, we locked three projection systems together and ran on three screens at the same time.

You’re right John, but . . . Since Trump just left the state of Michigan victoriously, we know, from very inside information, that Trump will be buying both Carmike and AMC, primarily as an outlet for Trump Water, Trump Wine, the Trump Magazine (which will add a HUGE show business gossip section) and, in a direct attack on Alamo Drafthouse, a gourmet Trump Steak Supper Cinema. 73% of all Trump Cinemas (formerly AMC/Carmike) will be Trump Steak Supper Cinemas and will feature the richly marbled Trump Steaks and Idaho’s best baked potatoes. However, we also understand that after last night’s Idaho disloyalty, that a Mississippi Rice Pilaf may replace baked potatoes. We also understand (because of the disloyalty of the Lyin’ Ted state) that all AMC and Carmike theaters located in Texas will be sold to United Artist, as UA contemplates regaining dominance nation-wide.
