\nThe news release says Emagine’s theaters see about 6 million visitors a year and do nearly $129 million in revenue. The size of the $105 million deal could go up an additional $15 million, based on box office results through the rest of the year.<\/p>\n
Michigan theaters not included in the deal are The Riviera Cinema in Farmington Hills and Emagine Woodhaven, which are managed by third parties through a brand licensing agreement, the news release said.<\/p>\n
In a phone interview Tuesday afternoon, Duquenne told the Free Press that Emagine’s theaters are well run and profitable and that no significant changes are envisioned.<\/p>\n
Kinepolis was attracted to the high quality of the Emagine brand and its theaters compared with competitors, he said.<\/p>\n\n\u201cWhy should you rebrand if you have a good brand that everyone is familiar with,\u201d Duquenne said. \u201cWe will bring more capital into the market, as well as invest in more premiumization.\u201d<\/p>\n
He attributed recent financial challenges in the movie theater industry to a dearth of big Hollywood movie releases, and not to any unwillingness of people to leave the house and go to the movies.<\/p>\n
“So waiting for more Hollywood blockbusters is the message today,” Duquenne said.<\/p>\n
