Regal Cinemas files for bankruptcy


Published Sep 7 2001

KNOXVILLE, TENN. -- Regal Cinemas, the nation's largest
movie theater chain, said Thursday it will file for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection as part of a restructuring plan that will
shift ownership to a group led by Denver billionaire Philip
Anschutz.

The plan will allow Anschutz and his partners to "exchange
the debt he has purchased for an equity position" in Regal,
Regal spokesman Dick Westerling said.

Regal, like several other major movie chains, aggressively
expanded in the late 1990s and ended up with too many
theaters. The chain closed 98 theaters with 646 screens this
year but still remains tops in North America with 3,898 screens
in 338 locations.
