AMC CEO Credits 'Single Tweet' For 85% Occupancy At 'Avatar' Dec. 18 Screening — Elon Musk Says, 'Twitter Is…'

What Happened: On Wednesday, Adam Aron, AMC chairman and CEO, took to Twitter and expressed his take on the microblogging site's "powerful communication." 

He stated that just one tweet promotion for the 'Avatar: The Way Of Water' screening at AMC Disney Springs has resulted in 85% sold out seats, that too, in less than 24 hours.
