Author Topic: Theatre Chain Status Manuel Francisco Valencia Expert Film Handler Posts: 151 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-14-2002 03:35 PM                     I was just wondering how all the other chains are doing. We (Cinemark) got a brief report via email yesterday. To make it short and not to release to much information, Cinemark increased profits by a great margin and cut loses and expenses by a slight margin and with all the other theatre chains closing screens we are now the second largest as far as screens goes.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-15-2002 10:19 AM                        Manuel - that report we got was simply a copy of the press release. All of that information is now public.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-15-2002 12:05 PM                        Here's the CineMark press release with 4th Quarter 2001 results: http://www.cinemark.com/PressReleases/4qtr2001NR.htm ------------------ John P.

According to the Kansas City Star, the disparity was mainly due to "stiff terms" on Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Now I know why a fellow Film-Techer said "Keep selling that popcorn!"  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-23-2002 12:52 PM                     I would say that if you report a net loss because of stiff terms on Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings then the terms are criminaly wrong. I don't know what to do about it, but it makes me mad. Thank God I run an Art House, where the terms are somewhat better.  |  IP: Logged
