(North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-12-2001 03:29 PM                     It's official, Regal finally filed for Chapter 11 on Thursday 10/10/01. Watch out, here come Anschutz making more money. Click Here  |  IP: Logged Jonathan M.

Is this a great country or what?  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 10-13-2001 11:49 AM                     Variety hinted a few weeks ago that Regal chairman/CEO Michael Campbell might be forced out in an Anschutz takeover. Also spectacular is the fact that two Wall Street firms -- Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) and Hicks Muse Tate & Furst -- lost their shirt when Regal went Chapter 11. Merrill Lynch bought up UA in 1992 only to lose its shirt in UA's own Chapter 11 last year.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Regal, the All-Mighty Cinema Mogel went gunny sack? How sad!  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 10-18-2001 10:27 AM                        Jonathan - us limeys can go one better. The executive in charge of the company which runs Britain's railways lost UK£32bn and kept his job (in fact he eventually resigned, but not over that).  |  IP: Logged
