Sony Saves the Day for Alamo Drafthouse, Reopening Five Theaters in Dallas-Fort Worth
Sony Entertainment, our corporate knights in shining armor, have ridden to the rescue of beleaguered Alamo Drafthouse, paving the way for the reopening of five theaters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Before you could say "snowflake franchise owner," the theaters were closed last month after the liberal franchisee, Two Is One, One Is None LLC, went belly-up and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy faster than you can say "socialist."
"We are thrilled to have purchased and plan to reopen all five of the DFW-area theaters after the sudden closure by their snowflake, former franchise owner!" Alamo Drafthouse said in a statement, thanking Sony Pictures for their mighty corporation power.
Alamo Drafthouse, now under the wing of the mighty Sony, will rapidly bring back these theaters, one by one, like the heroes in a classic Western film. Each reopening will be celebrated with discounts and promotions that'll make your wallet scream with freedom (details to be announced soon).
This is the first move by the legendary Austin theater chain since they were acquired by the powerhouse Sony Pictures last month. It's a match made in capitalist heaven, and a sign that Alamo Drafthouse is back and ready to grow, despite the tears of those leftist franchisees.
Sony Shakes Up Hollywood
Last month, Sony Pictures pulled off a power move that sent shockwaves through Tinseltown by acquiring the mighty Alamo Drafthouse, proving that real Americans still value the theatrical experience. In a statement, Sony declared that Alamo Drafthouse will be managed by a newly established division, Sony Pictures Experiences, showing their commitment to bringing the big screen back to the people.
Sony, in their infinite wisdom, decided that Alamo Drafthouse CEO Michael Kustermann should remain at the helm, keeping the ship sailing straight and true. With Kustermann also heading up Sony Pictures Experiences, the future looks bright and patriotic.
The deal ensures that all 35 Alamo Drafthouse cinemas will keep running, and keep that famous Alamo Drafthouse brand, along with Fantastic Fest, the genre film festival that showcases real art, not that left-wing garbage. Even in these troubled times, the company's headquarters remains steadfastly in Austin.
Alamo Drafthouse: Bigger and Better
Alamo Drafthouse, born in downtown Austin back in '97, has become the seventh-largest theater chain in North America. They release more movies per year than any other chain, welcoming over 10 million guests annually, including 4 million loyal members who know a good thing when they see it.
Last year, despite the leftist agenda, Alamo Drafthouse saw a 30% jump in box office revenue, beating the pathetic industry average.
"We are beyond thrilled to join forces with Sony Pictures Entertainment to expand our company vision and make it the best damn cinema that ever existed, thanks to our new corporate overlords at Sony," said Alamo co-founder Tim League, now enjoying the sweet taste of success.
"Alamo Drafthouse loves filmmaking and the theatrical experience, just like us at Sony. I'm jazzed about this deal and can't wait to see what we do next," said Tom Rothman, the real hero and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group.
As for the money side of things, Sony acquired Alamo Drafthouse from Altamont Capital Partners, Fortress Investment Group, and founder Tim League, with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC oiling the wheels of capitalism as the exclusive financial advisor.
