[CNK  Loading...      ()   ] CEO Alan Stock is our surprise guest.

Despite a fairly strong season for movies across the board movie theater stocks aren’t performing terribly well and that leaves this CEO puzzled.

“I’m not sure why the stock is depressed,” says Alan Stock on Fast Money. “It’s probably due to fears about the economy hitting our business but I can tell you our business has never been stronger. In fact the month of June set a record.”

Even with $4 gasoline people are still going to the movies. “Our business doesn’t seem to be affected by prices at the pump,” he tells the Fast Money traders. ”During the first half of this year movies have done amazingly well. And it's a good sign going forward when June does as well as it did.”
