I don't think they will get anything close to that. They are looking for 13x+ EBITDA, which for a franchise model

specsauce

I wouldn't be surprised if they got 9-10x

Skeptical Optimist

I agree with you, and 7X EBITDA would be nothing to laugh at. Gets them over $1B

Just Mercy was surprisingly accurate with reality being arguably worse.

Lincoln is one of the most historically accurate movies out there. Not perfect, but an example of how close one can be.
