A bankruptcy court judge today gave a green light to a reorganization plan for Regal parent Cineworld, the key step needed for the giant movie theater chain to emerge from bankruptcy next month.
At a hearing, in an order from the bench, Judge Marvin Isgur of U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas said the agreement the parties had put together since Cineworld filed for Chapter 11 last fall was negotiated ‘at arm’s length,” “in good faith” and intended to preserve jobs and capital into the future across the far-flung business. With some details and wording still being worked out, “I am going to confirm the plan,” Isgur said.
Cineworld ran out of cash and couldn’t borrow more after prolonged Covid-related theater closures hit exhibition particularly hard. Recovery was slow, and the company’s already high debt made a reset impossible. The restructuring will shore up its balance sheet and provide significant additional liquidity. Specifically, it will erase $4.53 billion of debt. It calls for a rights offering to raise gross proceeds of $800 million, and provides $1.46 billion in new debt financing.
Shareholders of Cineworld, which trades on the London Stock Exchange, will be completely wiped out as the stock is delisted — to the distress of one UK caller who dialed into the hearing and was able to ask some questions. His line was often disturbed but the message clear: “This is a once in a 100-years event that has to do with people’s life savings,” he said. He singled out an agreement by Cineworld’s lenders, who are now its new owners, to pay CEO Mooky Greidenger, his brother Israel, and two other top executives a combined $35 million circa to remain at the helm during the company’s exit from bankruptcy,

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor A mass exodus of Black women from senior leadership posts across Hollywood during the last few weeks is raising questions about the depth of the film and television industry’s commitment to diversifying the top ranks of the entertainment industry. The high-profile departures have sparked outrage on social media, with mounting concerns that major studios are only performing lip service after pledging to elevate more people of color to positions of influence. In the last month, six Black women executives in prominent leadership roles have abruptly left their positions in the studio system. Many oversaw DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) departments, putting them on the frontlines of larger effort to change corporate cultures and hiring practices. The exits include Karen Horne, who led DEI efforts at Warner Bros. Discovery and Jeanell English, executive VP of impact and inclusion at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. The other prominent executives are Netflix’s Vernā Myers, the streamer’s first head of inclusion; Disney’s LaTondra Newton, chief diversity officer and senior VP; and another Warner Bros. executive, Terra Potts, VP of worldwide marketing. On Monday, Joanna Abeyie, the BBC’s creative diversity director, joined their ranks. And even though the steady stream of departures is alarming, multiple industry sources tell Variety that more BIPOC executives are expected to join them in the coming weeks.
