BRIAN SOZZI: All right, from movies to merchandise, AMC is now selling gear for fans on its website, including AMC-themed apparel and products highlighting some top films like "Black Panther" and "Top Gun Maverick."

BRAD SMITH: I did not. I am not in the--

JULIE HYMAN: Did you? No.

BRIAN SOZZI: No

BRAD SMITH: I mean, I'm not in the [? ape ?] consortium that would perhaps--

JULIE HYMAN: Yeah, exactly.

BRAD SMITH: --into some of the apparel. However, I will say, "National Geographic" is making some really cool apparel that I almost did make a purchase decision on via social as well. They almost got me.

JULIE HYMAN: And I will say, these items-- I think some of the stuff sold out. It's no Lululemon Belt Bag.

JULIE HYMAN: Yeah.

BRAD SMITH: Yeah.

JULIE HYMAN: They still have some money [INAUDIBLE]

BRIAN SOZZI: Double-A getting it done.
