AMC fans claim they're 'bankrupting' the beloved movie theater chain
Fans claim the deal is so generous they’re actually costing the company money. 'I will be bankrupting this company by Q2 2026,’ one X user joked, as others admitted they’re now eating popcorn far more often than before. The pass - available to AMC Stubs members - was launched in December as part of a broader push to lure customers back into theaters. Despite steep popcorn discounts, AMC is still more profitable than other theater chains - seven of the top 10 highest grossing box offices in the US were AMC locations. The AMC Popcorn Pass is still available for purchase and will be available through December 2026.

Beto brace boosts Everton’s European hopes after coasting past Chelsea
Everton 3 Chelsea 0A miserable 10 days for Chelsea culminated in a chastening 3-0 defeat as Everton won back-to-back matches at home in the Premier League for the first time this season. Rosenior has won 10 of 19 matches since replacing Enzo Maresca; three of which were in the FA Cup against Wrexham, Hull and Charlton and another at home to Cypriot minnows Pafos. With Manchester United drawing and Liverpool losing, Chelsea had the chance to go fourth, four points behind the Red Devils, but they blew it in spectacular style. Everton’s win, however, puts them within three points of neighbours Liverpool with a home Merseyside derby to come next month. Beto became the first Everton player to score more than once in a game this season before Iliman Ndiaye curled a shot into the top corner to cap the Toffees’ best performance at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium home and sent the visiting fans streaming for the exit with 15 minutes remaining.

Harry Wilson inspires Fulham to 3-1 comeback win over Burnley to maintain form of his life - the queue for his signature is only going to keep on growing amid contract uncertainty, writes MATT BARLOW
Wilson's contract expires in June, exquisite timing for the 28-year-old in his prime after the season of his life. The Wales international has scored 10 of the 43 goals scored by Marco Silva's team. Even if he does not score again, he can organise his own Goal of the Season competition. Fulham's equaliser was scored by Josh King, his first Premier League goal and a simple finish for the 19-year-old. For Burnley, it was the 61st goal conceded in 31 games this season.

Portsmouth’s relegation worries continue after being hit for six by QPR
Rangers, who had lost three home games in a row, were on top from the start and went in front after seven minutes. Kolli doubled Rangers’ lead on 24 minutes, collecting Smyth’s pass and firing a low, right-footed shot beyond goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid from 25 yards. Portsmouth appeared to be finding a way back into the game, but Kolli’s 55th-minute goal essentially sealed Rangers’ win. Kone made it 4-1 with an 86th-minute penalty after Esquerdinha was adjudged to have been tripped by Colby Bishop on the left-hand side of the box. The striker netted again just over a minute later, racing onto Vale’s through-ball and thumping home.

Chelsea suffer 3-0 humbling by superb Everton as Blues implode on Merseyside - Liam Rosenior could only sit and scribble in his notebook while this latest horror show unfolded, writes KIERAN GILL
Beto scored twice at the other with Iliman Ndiaye burying their third. The worry for Chelsea is, if Fernandez is having those thoughts, then what are others such as Palmer and Moises Caicedo thinking? That is a major concern for Chelsea as they contrive to throw away their chances of Champions League football next season. He charged forward and found Beto, who scored on the spin, his shot going straight through Sanchez. It involved yet more mistakes – Santos for his poor pass, Sanchez for how he was beaten, and Fofana for not following Beto.

Nick Griggs finishes ninth in 3000m at World Indoor Championships
It can be a daunting thing, taking on the world’s best, and while Nick Griggs learned on Saturday night that he is not yet at their level, there was enough evidence in the 21-year-old’s first world final to show that he one day might be. Griggs came home ninth in the 3000m at the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland, clocking 7:39.03, while his Irish teammate Andrew Coscoran had a race to forget, finishing 13th of the 15 athletes in 7:43.89. Still, it was a decent showing for Griggs in his first world final. Maeve O’Neill made a bold bid to make the 800m final but in the end, the Cork woman came up short, finishing sixth in her semi-final in 2:02.46. O’Connor is looking to win a medal at her fifth straight championships while Lavin is hoping to reach her third world indoor final in the 60m hurdles.

Liverpool get red card verdict as Steven Gerrard weighs in on Brighton controversyLiverpool were furious that Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh was not shown a second yellow card for diving after going down under pressure from Jeremie Frimpong in the boxView 2 Images Yankuba Minteh went over in the box looking for a penalty (Image: AFP/Getty Images)Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard believes that Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh should have been shown a second yellow card for diving on Saturday. Minteh had already been booked in the Premier League's early kick-off when he threw himself to the floor. Brighton played the ball in behind Jeremie Frimpong and Minteh raced to get there first before flopping to the ground. England waved away the Brighton winger's appeal for a penalty, but also didn't take action for diving. After Minteh avoided a red card - and Fabian Hurzeler opted against replacing him - Brighton took the lead again in the 56th minute.
