Theaters Seek Quick Breakthrough in Paramount-WBD Merger With Cinemark Support

Cinema United urges Paramount's David Ellison and California Attorney General Rob Bonta to meet promptly to resolve California's challenge to Paramount's proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. Cinemark backs the deal, saying it could improve film output if enforceable guardrails are in place, including longer theatrical windows, stable rental terms, safeguards for theatres of all sizes, and continued access to Paramount and WBD catalogs.

Cinemark Backs Paramount-Warner Discovery Merger, Joining Theaters in Support

Cinemark endorsed the Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery merger, joining AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas in backing the $111 billion deal. The studio-exhibitor alignment hinges on written commitments to boost releases (about 30 per year) and preserve theatrical windows (at least 45 days). Cinema United remains opposed, while Paramount’s Ellison has tied support to these pledges and warned he could relocate Paramount out of California if antitrust talks falter amid a 12-state lawsuit blocking the takeover. The backdrop is a healthy box office this summer, adding pressure to resolve the merger.

Cinemark Demands Real Action From Netflix on Theatrical Windows

Cinemark CEO Sean Gamble says exhibitors remain wary of Netflix’s theater pledges and want firmer, longer-term commitments on theatrical windows and ongoing investment, not just public comments; Netflix has talked about honoring a 45-day window for Warner Bros. releases, but industry players seek clear definitions and sustained marketing support as the streaming landscape evolves and WBD/Paramount dynamics unfold.

Cinemark's Strong Box Office Performance Drives Profit and Stock Surge

Cinemark, the exhibition giant, reported a quarterly profit of $120.4 million, compared to a year-earlier loss, as admissions and concessions revenue increased amid a continuing box office recovery. However, Cinemark's president and CEO, Sean Gamble, warned that the ongoing Hollywood actors and writers strikes could delay production of future movies and shift release dates. Despite this, Gamble expressed optimism about Apple and Amazon's intentions to scale theatrical film production. Cinemark's improved financial and operating footing positions them well to handle fluctuations in content flow. In the second quarter, Cinemark hosted 38.8 million patrons in the U.S. and saw increased attendance in Latin America. Shares in Cinemark rose by 5.3 percent in premarket trading.

Nationwide mall closures continue as San Francisco theater shuts down.

Cinemark Century San Francisco, located in the Westfield Mall, will close after Thursday's matinee shows due to local business conditions. This is the latest closure in the downtown shopping district, with Westfield also giving up the mall and numerous other businesses closing. Experts say that movie theaters nationwide are struggling compared to pre-COVID numbers due to the rise of streaming services, and the number of screens in the country is down 5% since the pre-pandemic peak. Before the closure of Cinemark, Westfield's occupancy level had dropped to 55%, compared to a national average of 93%.

San Francisco's Westfield Mall Loses Movie Theater and Shopping Giant in Major Departure

The Century San Francisco Centre 9 and XD theater will be closing permanently after its current lease with the mall ends, the theater’s owner Cinemark, confirmed. Cinemark is the first company to announce it will be departing the mall space since Westfield’s announcement to transfer the management of the shopping center to its lender. Nordstrom announced in May that the company would not renew its lease due to “unsafe conditions” in the city. San Francisco has faced challenging economic conditions since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The closure of the Cinemark theater adds to the list of Bay Area movie houses that have gone dark, including Landmark’s Embarcadero Center Cinema, CGV San Francisco, and Regal UA Berkeley. The future of the Castro Theatre is also uncertain.

Westfield San Francisco Mall Loses Cinemark Theater

The Cinemark movie theater complex in Westfield's Downtown San Francisco Centre will close this week, just days after Westfield announced it would give up the mall. Cinemark cited a "comprehensive review of local business conditions" for the closure. The area surrounding the shopping center has been increasingly troubled, with nearly half of the storefronts and eateries that were open in 2020 having since closed. This is the 24th major shutdown in the area since the start of the pandemic.
