Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 18. Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, patent claims, landlord-tenant disputes, contractual disputes with landlords over certain termination rights and other contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Cinemark Holdings, Inc., et al vs Factory Mutual Insurance Company. The Company filed suit on November 18, 2020, in the District Court, 471st Judicial District, Collin County, Texas. On December 22, 2020, the case was moved to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division. The Company submitted a claim under its property insurance policy issued by Factory Mutual Insurance Company (the “FM Policy”) for losses sustained as a result of the closure of the Company’s theatres due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Factory Mutual Insurance Company (“FM”) denied the Company’s claim. The Company was seeking damages resulting from FM’s breach of contract, FM’s bad faith conduct and a declaration of the parties’ rights under the FM Policy. The District Court granted FM’s motion for summary judgment. The Company appealed the District Court’s decision. The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's decision. The Company had not recorded any income or receivable related to this case. Gerardo Rodriguez, individually and on behalf of a class of all others similarly situated vs Cinemark USA, Inc. and Cinemark Holdings, Inc., et al. This class action lawsuit was filed against the Company on February 24, 2023 in the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois alleging violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Company firmly maintains that the allegations are without merit and will vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. National CineMedia LLC Bankruptcy. On June 3, 2023, NCM filed an Emergency Motion for Entry of an Order (1) approving and Authorizing Debtor to Enter into and Perform Under (a) the Termination and Settlement Agreement and (b) the Network Affiliate Transaction Agreement with Regal Cinemas, Inc. (the “9019 Motion”). The 9019 Motion requested an order, among other things, that the most favored nations clause (the “MFN”) in Cinemark’s Exhibitor Services Agreement was not triggered by the Network Affiliate Transaction Agreement with Regal Cinemas, Inc. On June 14, 2023, Cinemark filed an objection to the 9019 Motion. On June 26, 2023, the bankruptcy court entered a confirmation order, which among other things, approves NCM’s assumption of Cinemark’s Exhibitor Services Agreement but fails to preserve or recognize Cinemark’s rights under the MFN with respect to the Network Affiliate Transaction Agreement. Cinemark appealed the confirmation order in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division which affirmed the bankruptcy court's order. The Company has appealed the District Court's order with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this appeal. Shane Waldrop, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, vs. Cinemark USA, Inc. This putative nationwide class action lawsuit was filed against the Company on April 16, 2024, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division, alleging violations of the Federal Food Drug & Cosmetics Act, violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and unjust enrichment based on the Company’s alleged mislabeling of twenty-four ounce draft beer cups used at certain theatres. The Company denies the allegations and will vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation.
