Sale Furthers Company's Focus on Its International

Communications Opportunity

Metromedia International Group, Inc. (MMG:Amex) today announced the consummation of the sale of its Landmark Theatre Group to Silver Cinemas, Inc. The gross cash consideration received by MMG was $68 million.

Stuart Subotnick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Metromedia International Group, said "Metromedia International Group has identified a market of 250 million people lacking adequate communications capabilities and is concentrating its efforts on seizing this extraordinary opportunity.
