Hit rapper Eminem is coming to the big screen again thanks to a partnership with AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>). Will the movie theater chain have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37701205/taylor-swift-concert-film-hits-streaming-heres-how-to-watch-the-eras-tour-taylors-version">the same success</a> it had with Taylor Swift?
What Happened: Eminem raps that you might have only one shot or one opportunity "to seize everything you ever wanted" in the Academy Award winning song "Lose Yourself." Lucky for AMC, they might have another shot at box office success thanks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/39010959/amc-ceo-says-were-still-here-how-taylor-swift-popcorn-buckets-help-movie-theater-from-going">an exclusive deal </a>with the musician.
AMC announced it is exclusively releasing "Stans," a documentary from Eminem about fandom in theaters Aug. 7-10.
"This one's for the Stans, by the Stans! See the real stories behind the fandom," AMC <a href="https://x.com/AMCTheatres/status/1945111628325728555">tweeted</a>.
Eminem also <a href="https://x.com/Eminem/status/1945220683841098153">shared </a>the trailer for the movie and also posted to his 21.7 million X followers that you can preorder a "Stans" movie soundtrack vinyl and movie ticket. The vinyl and movie ticket showed a cost of $63. Movie tickets for a theater near this author were listed at $18 each, but may vary by location.
"Released in 2000, Eminem's song ‘Stan' — about an obsessive, unstable fan — remains iconic. So iconic that the term stan was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017," the movie's <a href="https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/stans-80811?utm_medium=socialmediapost&amp;utm_source=organicsocial&amp;utm_campaign=80811-stans&amp;utm_content=flm-tos&amp;utm_launch=2025-07-15&amp;sf227562018=1">website </a>reads.
The film will explore fandom and "complicated relationship" between Eminem being a mostly private artist and his "massive public persona." The film will include archival footage, interviews, recreations and an exclusive original interview with Eminem.

Why It's Important: The new "Stans" film will be released by AMC Theatres Distribution, the unit of the movie theater chain that also released concert documentaries from Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.
"Stans" will be shown twice daily in more than 135 AMC locations according to a report from <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/eminem-documentary-stans-amc-theaters-release-1236460929/">Variety</a>. The film will be released for a full week in the AMC Empire 25 in New York to qualify for award nominations.
The film will also get an international release with Trafalgar Releasing launching the film on Aug. 7 in around 1,600 movie theaters in 50 countries expected to show the film.
"Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" broke records for concert films and <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt28814949/?ref_=bo_se_r_1">grossed </a>$180.8 million in domestic theaters and $261.7 million worldwide.
The Beyoncé film "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé" <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt29354040/?ref_=bo_se_r_1">grossed </a>$33.9 million domestically and $44.0 million worldwide.
Eminem previously starred as himself in the semi-autobiographical 2002 film "8 Mile." That film <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0298203/?ref_=bo_se_r_1">grossed </a>$116.8 million domestically and $242.9 million worldwide.
While there is no guarantee that "Stans" will be a hit, AMC landed exclusive coverage of the movie, which could bring fans to its theaters for the first time to experience premium screens, enhanced food options and win them over as future movie customers.
AMC could also get a piece of future revenue from streaming partnerships and other deals as one of the distribution partners, as it did with the Taylor Swift film.
AMC Price Action: AMC stock closed Wednesday up 1.76% to $3.18 versus a 52-week trading range of $2.45 to $5.76. AMC stock is down 20.9% year-to-date in 2025.

What 38 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About Salesforce

In the current market session, First American Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAF#NYSE">FAF</a>) price is at $55.45, after a 1.32% increase.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752703225_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does First American Financial P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 22.18 in the Insurance industry, First American Financial Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 36.01. Shareholders might be inclined to think that First American Financial Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752703225_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

$1000 Invested In Watts Water Technologies 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

MOCKSVILLE, N.C., July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 22nd Century Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XXII#NASDAQ">XXII</a>), the only tobacco products company that has for 27 years led and continues to lead the fight against the harms of smoking driven by nicotine addiction is creating a new pathway to reducing the rate of smoking and related health harms through increasing adoption of its VLN&#xAE; reduced nicotine content cigarette products by additional brands. Our products incorporate proprietary and patented tobacco having 95% less nicotine than tobacco used in highly addictive conventional cigarettes. Decades of peer reviewed studies have shown that the level of nicotine content in 22nd Century's products can reduce both the rate of smoking and the health harms of smoking.
The recently announced partner VLN&#xAE; initiatives, such as Smoker Friendly VLN&#xAE;, Pinnacle VLN&#xAE;, reflect a growing commitment by tobacco brands to accelerate compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's proposed new <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=qlpGKAiiF5amDEZPNG9E1wa0Bx3dDtMM77VR4RbGJWSubkI9NnsX4N1cBnG6QdN_kUoNErrTFIBV7KXnUVtrBN6QnbLszIYZiP-IXRrNi4aZKKYUOwJXlHz20F14ZOUA4rq83ew202ivfMaQwgyfnbs7rflxFw73cB7OOmHanCVTsyNlxkQqi2Ay00DeHYTTwyYQ_Kj6P81tDgEi18eBilqqsUy3Cp81M4rSMJ4ZhIe5XYRnoe5ltraZ32_Hih3F">Tobacco Product Standard for Nicotine Yield of Cigarettes and Certain Other Combusted Tobacco Products</a>, which is intended to curb the harms of smoking.
"The FDA recognizes that nicotine is a highly addictive substance and that to achieve true tobacco harm reduction, nicotine consumption must be addressed. The FDA's new product standard proposed in January is one of many factors that are driving early commercial interest in our VLN reduced nicotine content tobacco products. We are excited to see our customer's brands adding VLN cigarettes to their lineup. This will enhance market availability of VLN cigarettes and offer customers a Tobacco Harm Reduction product that will give the smoker a choice to control their nicotine consumption," said Larry Firestone, Chief Executive Officer of 22nd Century Group. "These commercial launches and our readiness once we receive state approval to scale availability to all 50 states for the entire U.S. cigarette market continues to demonstrate that there need not be any commercial barriers to adopting this FDA policy, which could be the most impactful health decision in a generation."
Formally announced in January 2025, the proposed standard sets a maximum nicotine content of 0.7 mg of nicotine per gram of tobacco in cigarettes and certain other combusted tobacco products, taking effect two years from final approval. VLN&#xAE; based products from 22nd Century are the only combustible cigarette products authorized by the FDA to meet the standard, at an average of 0.5 mg per gram, and the only product that offers consumers a choice about their nicotine consumption.
On implementation of the FDA proposal, people who are addicted and wish to alter their dependency or even quit could have the ability to do so more easily, significantly reducing the morbidity and mortality caused by smoking. Based on FDA's population health model, by the year 2100, in the United States, approximately 48 million youth and young adults who would have otherwise initiated smoking would not start as a result of the proposed product standard.
22nd Century is monitoring comment submissions under the proposed rule and intends to make its own submission before the comment period closes.
This activity follows the 2018 rule making process, which ultimately incorporated many of the suggestions, independent clinical research studies and feasibility data from <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=hu5Ct19R2VxJK1gnvpGqpKi-1bjPVXLyYhiKAu_4DsP23n5DivM-Nbokt2G7wUqlRbM_EMgpddvZzLc2hVHmW655I4SF60Dlx5HKIPOR1MbBGl_BScadSFdFodZvABp9a5M3NwrNt2ZavMxeO6mawHW470JYY6bHFG3mGw3gBng=">22nd Century's comment letter at that time</a>, including:
<ul>
<li>A proposed standard of not more than 0.7mg/g of nicotine content, based on 22nd Century's recommendation of an average of 0.5mg/g,</li>
<li>The fact that our patented low nicotine content tobacco leaf contained in our VLN Products that already meets the standard can be readily sourced in enough quantity to meet demand for reduced nicotine content cigarette products, and</li>
<li>The fact the reduced nicotine content tobacco is an effective way to reduce the rate and harms of smoking, as documented by dozens of peer reviewed and published independent clinical studies using research cigarettes manufactured by 22nd Century &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=0Muji-qgH5MFNwCDVb86z3wLdp65rxkCvpIGpTpnNfIiwEfFZI8YdRDGe7JKTN_y7BNIAxpGiFJ_3i3Ovfxx35ZmAI1S_-iP-PMpFJVadmBBI5WcCjn4VWoTfpc1k3OK9MuYQNy9mpUOh-gLikypMsac4w8-ysu5Wu_FPebSjUml0znYBoH97FfzgN_mFcB8bqx1EZCXj3eXmfSywdZGvSk-bPPambpvRbGxO-FCE5LN-eQNXrjXDuTyShONIyHszhjR_aBNGKe8FHA8K8JkEca8MWYfhFeU6yL6WB5F1lvtZBOJ33ii_DAcZpVRau6QxS8hTxm_9lGGGk8cFHhwJT9WorjZ3UFxTNPROdVbZ-czEclwanfiP7Tjdih9VtWyP1gFni13VIaofKXo-Qmk1w==">FDA's January 15, 2025 press release</a> announcing the rule includes the following statement from the former FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D.: "Today's proposal envisions a future where it would be less likely for young people to use cigarettes and more individuals who currently smoke could quit or switch to less harmful products. This action, if finalized, could save many lives and dramatically reduce the burden of severe illness and disability, while also saving huge amounts of money. I hope we can all agree that significantly reducing the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the U.S. is an admirable goal we should all work toward."
