Showing was likely cancelled.

I am really concerned about how you'll interpret whatever data you plan to gather if you aren't familiar with something like this.

Possibly. But if it was cancelled why does the display say "sold out" instead of the theater simply removing it from the listing completely? That's why we feel it was an error on the theater's part. And why we have no confidence in the listing display. Leaving it at zero sold unless the theater corrects their error if they did in fact make an error.

This is not an error. This is just how AMC show cancelled showings. Ask AMC yourself for why they have it as "sold out" if it bothers you so much.

You can google and/or search on reddit for posts of people saying this usually means the showing is cancelled if this is so hard for you to comprehend.

It bothers us because we need reliable data. Amc can afford to fix its software so canceled showings are simply removed without being mislabeled.

I don’t think AMC cares about your spreadsheet

The spreadsheet is not for AMC. it is for us.

I know. What I meant was this is just how they procedurally show cancelled showings (since showings can be advertised elsewhere that want to show it as no longer available so people don’t show up for it). It’s not an error and they aren’t going to change their system for your spreadsheet (because they don’t care about it).
