CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Tuesday explained why he thinks IMAX has momentum and is a more promising company than others in the movie theater business.”At a time when the movie studios and the movie theaters are struggling, IMAX has tremendous momentum because it’s proven to be the best way to sell tickets,” he said. “If you’re at all inclined to invest in the movie industry, IMAX seems like your best bet.”Cramer explained that IMAX’s business model is different from many of its peers.

Trump has criticized the Russian president in unprecedented terms in recent days and signaled he’ll send vital weapons to Ukraine.
