LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — In today's Financial Focus, we have a check of the stock market and the stocks with ties to Las Vegas.

Shares for AMC and Cinemark theatres surged this morning.

AMC's stock spiked 80% in premarket trading, with Cinemark's stock rising more than 40% before the opening bell.

This after Pfizer revealed early data that its coronavirus vaccine is more than 90% effective which is far better than expected.

The vaccine news offered hope for the theater industry.

Since shutting their doors in march chains like AMC and Cinemark have struggled.
