I’ve never been much of a zombie genre fan. Fuck zombies, unless they’re real.
According to “live plus same-day” estimates from Nielsen, the zombie drama averaged a monster 7.43 rating in adults 18-49 and 14.6 million viewers overall — up slightly over the show’s season 5 averages but below its fall 2014 premiere (8.65 in 18-49, 17.29 million total viewers). That year-ago opener remains the show’s highest-rated telecast on record.
Well, I sold my AMCX stock last week, so I have no exposure to today’s 3 point drop. My only question to you, the zombie fan freak: how was the season premier? Do you think ratings will improve?
If so, AMCX is a buy.

It was ok, fans will come back,
Il buy this dip.
great stock.
It was good, nothing special. Was actually slightly disappointed. Though the season is setting up to be interesting.
I was a huge fan of TWD when it first came out. Now I don’t even know when the season premiere is airing. Been this way for two years. I think there are a lot of people like me.
Watched the premier last night. Thought it was great. “Fear: The Walking Dead” is horrible, though, and may have lead to some zombie apathy that hurt the originals ratings. I think as Halloween approaches, more fans will be tuning in.
AMCX is a perfect takeover target also.
I’m a pretty big TWD fan (show only; do not watch extended clips or interviews). But I never watch stuff live. Too many commercials. I just let stuff tape and hit it up later.
Couldn’t tell you.
I watch AMC for just the Three Stooges.
Moe, Larry, and Curley (Shemp, on occasion) are always winners.
FTWD didn’t help.
Not a single character on that show that I could care about. Tried the first 4 episodes, then tuned out for good.
Doubt ratings will increase. I think we have reached peak zombie. But the franchise will do well for more years.
