AMC’s 50% Off: A Desperate Plea After the Adpocalypse?

Audience in a movie theater with 3D glasses looking surprised, with a large '50% OFF' tag overlaid, symbolizing AMC's discount.

A graphic showing the word "HBO" on the left and "Max" on the right, with a prominent, jagged crack running down the center, visually splitting the two words. The background is dark and indistinct.

MAX: now with less prestige and more question marks. Rebranding done dirty.
