Finally, the movie theater world has seen a company win a small victory during the coronavirus era. AMC Theaters, which was on the verge of bankruptcy earlier this year, has consolidated an agreement that will keep it solvent until 2021.
According to Variety, the deal means the Silver Lake Group buys up to $ 100 million in tickets. That’s in excess of the $ 600 million in convertible bonds the group has on the theater chain. This plan aims to keep the company afloat for the next year.
As reopening plans continue to be optimistic and then quickly close after infection rates increase, the COVID-19 pandemic still appears to have a blockade on AMC and the rest of the business of the theater film industry. This debt renegotiation aims to postpone its closure, although accrued interest would expire in 2026, if everything goes according to plan.
