Cinemex Holdings USA, Inc. and Cinemex USA Real Estate Holdings, Inc, which operate the CMX theater chain in Florida, filed for bankruptcy this past weekend, citing the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason for closing.
“We are in a state of complete uncertainty as to when we can re-open our theaters and when our customers will feel safe and secure in returning to them given that there is presently no vaccine against the virus,” CMX said in a statement. “We cannot forecast when — if ever — customer numbers will return to pre-crisis levels.”
Cinemex Holdings USA is a subsidiary of Mexican theater chain Cinemex, which did not file for bankruptcy.
