Movie Theater Chain Ends A24 Film Standoff
17 Sep
Summary
- Marcus Theatres and A24 reached mutually agreeable terms.
- The dispute prevented screening of several A24 films.
- A similar disagreement continues with Harkins Theatres.
Marcus Theatres, a major US movie theater chain, has settled its dispute with independent distributor A24. The two parties had been at odds for several months over film terms that Marcus Theatres considered economically unviable. This disagreement resulted in A24 films not being screened in Marcus Theatres venues.
While the specific terms of the new agreement are not public, a Marcus Theatres spokesperson confirmed that mutually agreeable terms have been reached. This resolution means A24 films, including the upcoming 'Primetime,' will soon be available to audiences at Marcus Theatres. The absence of A24 titles had impacted AAA24 membership benefits for many.
Meanwhile, a similar film terms dispute remains ongoing between A24 and Harkins Theatres, a Southwestern chain. Talks are reportedly continuing, though no deal has been finalized as of the latest information.
