Honigman recently advised Kinepolis Group, a cinema operator, on its acquisition of Emagine Entertainment, an American movie theater chain. The transaction adds 14 cinemas to Kinepolis' U.S. portfolio, bringing its total to 177 screens and approximately 18,000 seats across Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
This strategic acquisition accelerates Kinepolis' U.S. growth strategy, strengthens its premium cinema offering, and enhances its ability to deliver a differentiated, high-quality entertainment experience to moviegoers across its newly expanded network.
A Honigman team led by Partners Evan J. Leibhan, Laura J. Davis, and Spencer W. Layson advised Kinepolis on the matter, with additional support from Patrick Howe (Of Counsel) and Associate Jay P. Geiss and Honigman Review Solutions.
