Can anyone elaborate on stock price movement for me? +++

There is a particular stock that today has dropped over $13 at the moment. I'm trying to understand why.
The volume traded today is just over 12 million shares.
But the total held long is currently over 181 million and the total short is only 7 million.
I don't recall what those totals were yesterday.
So as a percentage, if my math is right, that is a trade volume of around 6% of what is currently held.
If you assume all the total traded today was sold instead of purchased, then for every 1 million shares sold, price dropped over $1? But it is hardly likely that 100% of the shares traded today were sold?
So...
Any insight on price movement?
And I'm not asking specifically about this film. I've noticed similar behavior with other stocks where there is no news and a major drop in price with only a minor amount of shares traded.

There's no correlation. Movement is based on shares traded, not shares held. {nm} Antibody May 22, 14:50
