Cramer noted that 80% of AMC Entertainment's stock ownership comes from individual investors, as opposed to institutions. The current valuation makes sense, Cramer said.

Co-host David Faber asked Cramer how he could argue that AMC Entertainement's current valuation makes sense.

"I'll tell you how I make that judgement. If you wanted to sell 5,000 shares right now you could get it, so it makes sense to me," Cramer responded. "Adam Aron is playing offense ... don't go against Adam Aron."
