Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company and Basis of Presentation	1. The Company and Basis of Presentation Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) operates in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated while those affiliates of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for under the equity method. Those of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. Th These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 23, 2018 by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.

The Tax Act made changes to the U.S. tax code, which included (1) reduced U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, (2) generally eliminated U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, and (3) a one-time transition tax on certain undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, reporting entities are required to recognize the effect(s) of the Act on current and deferred income taxes in the enactment period’s financial statements. As of September 30, 2018, the amounts recorded for the Tax Act pertaining to the transition tax impact for 2017 are final, however, the transition tax impact for 2018 remains provisional. The amounts recorded for the re-measurement of net deferred taxes, and the Company’s reassessment of valuation allowances remain provisional. These estimates may be impacted by further analysis due to future clarification and guidance regarding earnings and profits computations, state tax conformity to federal tax changes, and potential tax planning options under consideration.

Revenue Recognition

	Sep. 30, 2018
Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	3. Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition Policy The Company recognizes admissions and concession revenues when sales are made at the box office and concession stand, respectively. Other revenues include screen advertising, transactional fees and other ancillary revenues such as vendor marketing promotions and meeting rentals and events. The Company records proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current liabilities and recognizes admissions or concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or certificate. Additionally, the Company recognizes unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as other revenues based on a proportion of redemptions, which is estimated primarily based on the Company’s historical experience with such cards and certificates. Screen advertising revenues are generally recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre. Advances collected on long-term screen advertising, concession and other contracts are recorded as deferred revenues. In accordance with the terms of the agreements, the advances collected on such contracts are recognized during the period in which the Company satisfies the related performance obligations, which may differ from the period in which the advances are collected. These advances are recognized on either a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts or as the Company has met its performance obligations in accordance with the terms of the contracts. See additional revenue recognition policy considerations, updated for the adoption of ASC Topic 606, below. Adoption of ASC Topic 606 The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Changes to the way in which the Company recognizes revenue resulted in the following impacts to the condensed consolidated statements of income: a) Recording of incremental other revenue and interest expense related to the significant financing component of the Company’s Exhibitor Services Agreement (“ESA”) with NCM, LLC (“NCM”). See further discussion below, including the estimated interest rates assumed in determining the amount of interest expense. b) Deferral of a portion of admissions and concession revenues for transactions that include the issuance of loyalty points to customers. To determine the amount of revenues to defer upon issuance of points to customers under its points-based loyalty programs, the Company estimated the values of the rewards expected to be redeemed by its customers for those points. The estimates are based on the rewards that have historically been offered under the loyalty programs, which the Company believes is representative of the rewards to be offered in the future. c) Increase in other revenues and an increase in utilities and other expenses due to the presentation of transactional fees on a gross versus net basis. d) Increase in other revenues due to the change in amortization methodology for deferred revenue – NCM that is now amortized on a straight-line basis and effective for the entire term of the ESA. As a result of the change in amortization method, the Company recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change adjustment of $40,526, net of taxes, in retained earnings on January 1, 2018 (see also Note 6). The above noted changes increased (decreased) admissions, concession and other revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, disaggregated as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Admissions revenues $ (1,524 ) $ (4,724 ) Concession revenues $ (725 ) $ (1,932 ) Other revenues $ 25,794 $ 85,963 The Company applied the practical expedient to exclude sales and other similar taxes collected from customers from its transaction price for purposes of recording revenues. As such, revenues are presented net of such taxes. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, disaggregated based on major type of good or service and by reportable operating segment.

The Company did not record any assets related to the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with customers during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Significant Financing Component As discussed further in Note 7, in connection with the completion of the NCM, Inc. (“NCMI”) initial public offering, the Company amended and restated its ESA with NCM and received approximately $174,000 in cash consideration from NCM. The proceeds were recorded as deferred revenue and are being amortized over the term of the modified ESA, or through February 2037. In addition to the consideration received upon the ESA modification during 2007, the Company also receives consideration in the form of common units from NCM, at each annual common unit adjustment settlement, in exchange for exclusive access to the Company’s newly opened domestic screens under the ESA. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the common unit adjustment and related accounting. Due to the significant length of time between receiving the consideration from NCM and fulfillment of the related performance obligation, the ESA includes an implied significant financing component, as per the guidance in ASC Topic 606. As a result of the significant financing component on deferred revenue - NCM, the Company recognized incremental screen advertising revenue and an offsetting interest expense of $4,983 and $14,875 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The interest expense was calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates at the time when the cash and each tranche of common units were received from NCM, which ranged from 5.5% to 8.0%.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	4. Earnings Per Share The Company considers its unvested restricted stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, participating securities, and includes such participating securities in its computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Basic earnings per share for the two classes of stock (common stock and unvested restricted stock) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two class method and the treasury stock method. The following table presents computations of basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Numerator: Net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. $ 50,228 $ 38,139 $ 194,384 $ 169,106 Earnings allocated to participating share-based awards (1) (304 ) (209 ) (1,123 ) (842 ) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 49,924 $ 37,930 $ 193,261 $ 168,264 Denominator (shares in thousands): Basic weighted average common stock outstanding 116,119 115,823 116,032 115,746 Common equivalent shares for restricted stock units 203 281 256 317 Diluted 116,322 116,104 116,288 116,063 Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders $ 0.43 $ 0.33 $ 1.66 $ 1.45 Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders $ 0.43 $ 0.33 $ 1.66 $ 1.45 (1) For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, a weighted average of approximately 708 and 643 shares of unvested restricted stock, respectively, were considered participating securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, a weighted average of approximately 677 and 581 shares of restricted stock, respectively, were considered participating securities.

The Company recorded a reduction in the deferred revenue balance and a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in retained earnings (see also Note 6). See Note 3 for further discussion of the impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606. (2) Amount includes the per patron and per digital screen theatre access fees due to the Company, net of amounts paid to NCM for on-screen advertising time provided to the Company’s beverage concessionaire of approximately $9,064. (3) Reflects impact of significant financing component related to amounts received in advance under the ESA and CUA agreements. See Note 3. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded equity in earnings of $6,830 and $5,032, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded equity in earnings of $11,341 and $8,098, respectively. The Company made payments to NCM of $67 and $75 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to installation of certain equipment used for digital advertising, which is included in theatre properties and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCMI and the Company, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMC”) and Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”) (collectively, “Founding Members”), annual adjustments to the common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. As further discussed in Note 5 to the Company’s financial statements as included in its 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the common units received (collectively referred to as the Company’s “Tranche 2 Investment”) are recorded at estimated fair value as an increase in the Company’s investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue. The Company’s Tranche 2 Investment is accounted for following the equity method, with undistributed equity earnings related to its Tranche 2 Investment included as a component of earnings in equity in income of affiliates and distributions received related to its Tranche 2 Investment are recorded as a reduction of investment basis. During March 2018, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, on March 29, 2018, the Company received an additional 908,042 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCMI common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at estimated fair value with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of approximately $5,012. The fair value of the common units received was estimated based on the market price of NCMI common stock at the time the common units were determined, adjusted for volatility associated with the estimated time period it would take to convert the common units and register the respective shares. The deferred revenue will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the ESA, which is approximately 19 years. On July 5, 2018 the Company acquired 10,738,740 common units of NCM from AMC for $78,393 in cash, or approximately $7.30 per common unit. As a result of the acquisition of these shares, the Company’s ownership of NCM increased from approximately 18% to 25%. The amount paid for the additional common units was recorded as an increase in the Company’s investment in NCM. As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned a total of 39,518,644 common units of NCM, representing an ownership interest of approximately 25%. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in NCM was approximately $418,502 based on the price of NCMI common stock as of September 28, 2018 of $10.59 per share (Level 1 input as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820). Below is summary financial information for NCM for the periods indicated. (The financial information for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2018 is not yet available.)

Treasury Stock and Share Based Awards	9. Treasury Stock and Share Based Awards Treasury Stock — Treasury stock represents shares of common stock repurchased or withheld by the Company and not yet retired. The Company has applied the cost method in recording its treasury shares. Below is a summary of the Company’s treasury stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018: Number of Treasury Shares Cost Balance at January 1, 2018 4,525,870 $ 76,354 Restricted stock withholdings (1) 75,801 2,905 Restricted stock forfeitures 20,925 — Balance at September 30, 2018 4,622,596 $ 79,259 (1) The Company withheld restricted shares as a result of the election by certain employees to satisfy their tax liabilities upon vesting in restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company determined the number of shares to be withheld based upon market values ranging from $33.77 to $39.03 per share. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no plans to retire any shares of treasury stock. Restricted Stock – During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted 321,406 shares of restricted stock to employees and directors. The fair value of the restricted stock granted was determined based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $35.81 to $39.26 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 10% for the restricted stock awards. The restricted stock awards vest over periods ranging from one to four years. The recipients of restricted stock are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends and to vote their respective shares, however, the sale and transfer of the restricted shares is prohibited during the restriction period. Below is a summary of restricted stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018: Shares of Weighted Average Restricted Grant Date Stock Fair Value Outstanding at January 1, 2018 650,581 $ 35.81 Granted 321,406 $ 38.79 Vested (242,945 ) $ 31.16 Forfeited (20,925 ) $ 38.57 Outstanding at September 30, 2018 708,117 $ 38.67 Unvested restricted stock at September 30, 2018 708,117 $ 38.67 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 Compensation expense recognized during the period $ 7,266 $ 6,298 Fair value of restricted shares that vested during the period $ 7,815 $ 8,169 Income tax benefit recognized upon vesting of restricted stock awards $ 1,751 $ 2,665 As of September 30, 2018, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards was $17,360 and the weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years. Restricted Stock Units – During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted restricted stock units representing 228,194 hypothetical shares of common stock to employees. The restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during the two fiscal year periods ending December 31, 2019 based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain adjustments as specified by the Compensation Committee prior to the grant date. The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity and vest on a prorata basis according to the IRR achieved by the Company during the performance period. If the IRR for the two-year period is at least 7%, which is the threshold, one-third of the maximum restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the two-year period is at least 9.5%, which is the target, two-thirds of the maximum restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the two-year period is at least 13%, which is the maximum, 100% of the maximum restricted stock units vest. Grantees are eligible to receive a ratable portion of the common stock issuable if the IRR is within the targets previously noted. Further, as an example, if the Company achieves an IRR equal to 11%, the number of restricted stock units that shall vest will be greater than the target but less than the maximum number that would have vested had the Company achieved the highest IRR. All restricted stock units granted during 2018 will vest subject to an additional two-year service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments from the grant date if, and at the time that, the restricted stock unit awards vest. Below is a table summarizing the potential number of shares that could vest under restricted stock unit awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 Number of Shares Value at Vesting Grant at IRR of at least 7% 76,065 $ 2,967 at IRR of at least 9.5% 152,129 $ 5,938 at IRR of at least 13% 228,194 $ 8,906 Due to the fact that the IRR for the two-year performance period could not be determined at the time of the 2018 grant, the Company estimated that the most likely outcome is the achievement of the target IRR level. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $37.55 to $39.03 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 5% for the restricted stock unit awards. If during the service period, additional information becomes available to lead the Company to believe a different IRR level will be achieved for the two-year performance period, the Company will reassess the number of units that are expected to vest for the grant and adjust its compensation expense accordingly on a prospective basis over the remaining service period. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 Number of restricted stock unit awards that vested during the period 127,084 97,115 Fair value of restricted stock unit awards that vested during the period $ 4,846 $ 4,155 Accumulated dividends paid upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards $ 526 $ 313 Compensation expense recognized during the period $ 3,098 $ 3,189 Income tax benefit recognized upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards $ 740 $ 1,745 During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company determined that the IRR reached for the restricted stock units granted in February 2016 was 7.2%, compared to a target IRR of 8.0%. The Company recorded a reduction in compensation expense of $69 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to reflect the revised number of shares expected to vest in February 2020 for the 2016 restricted stock unit grant. As of September 30, 2018, the estimated remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding restricted stock unit awards was $8,835. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had restricted stock units outstanding that represented a total of 594,266 hypothetical shares of common stock, net of actual cumulative forfeitures of 18,667 units, assuming an IRR of 7.2% was achieved for the 2016 grants and the maximum IRR level is achieved for all other grants outstanding.

(2) Amount represents preliminary purchase price allocation for theatres acquired in Brazil. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and has allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. Management considers the reporting unit to be each of its nineteen regions in the U.S. and seven countries internationally with Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala considered one reporting unit (the Company does not have goodwill recorded for all of its international locations).

Impairment Or Disposal Of Tangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	11. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. See discussion of the Company’s long-lived asset impairment evaluation process in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements as included in its 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As noted in the discussion, fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. As of September 30, 2018, the estimated aggregate fair value of the long-lived assets impaired during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $178. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. Below is a summary of impairment charges for the periods presented: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 U.S. theatre properties $ 1,553 $ 1,054 $ 3,331 $ 1,411 International theatre properties 88 3,972 1,689 8,189 Impairment of long-lived assets $ 1,641 $ 5,026 $ 5,020 $ 9,600

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	12. Fair Value Measurements The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820, which establishes a fair value hierarchy under which an asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value measurement. The levels of input defined by ASC Topic 820 are as follows: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date; Level 2 – other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis under ASC Topic 820 as of December 31, 2017 or September 30, 2018. The Company uses the market approach for fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis in the impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets (see Note 10 and Note 11). See additional explanation of fair value measurement techniques used for long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets in “Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed February 23, 2018. There were no changes in valuation techniques and there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Foreign Currency Translation	13. Foreign Currency Translation The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity of $320,166 and $253,282 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, primarily includes cumulative foreign currency adjustments of $320,406 and $253,565, respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2018, all foreign countries where the Company has operations, other than Argentina, are non-highly inflationary, and the local currency is the same as the functional currency in all of the locations. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company deemed Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning July 1, 2018. A highly inflationary economy is defined as an economy with a cumulative inflation rate of approximately 100 percent or more over a three-year period. If a country’s economy is classified as highly inflationary, the financial statements of the foreign entity operating in that country must be remeasured to the functional currency of the reporting entity. The financial information of the Company’s Argentina subsidiaries has been remeasured in U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters Below is a summary of the impact of translating the September 30, 2018 financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries: Other Comprehensive Loss for the Exchange Rate as of Nine Months Ended Country September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 September 30, 2018 Brazil 4.05 3.31 $ (42,588 ) Argentina (1) 41.29 18.65 (18,272 ) Chile 658.22 615.97 (4,822 ) All other (1,159 ) $ (66,841 ) (1) Amount represents the cumulative comprehensive loss recorded for Argentina through September 30, 2018. Beginning July 1, 2018, Argentina was deemed highly inflationary. The impact of translating Argentina financial results to U.S. dollars, which was not significant, has been recorded in foreign currency exchange gain (loss) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income.

Segments The Company manages its international market and its U.S. market as separate reportable operating segments, with the international segment consisting of operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenues. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as shown in the reconciliation table below, as the primary measure of segment profit and loss to evaluate performance and allocate its resources. The Company does not report total assets by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments.

Commitments and Contingencies	17. Commitments and Contingencies Silken Brown v. Cinemark USA, Inc., Case No. 3:13cv05669, In the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. The case presents putative class action claims for penalties and attorney's fees arising from alleged violations of the California wage statement law. The claim is also asserted as a representative action under the California Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) for penalties. The Court granted class certification. The company denies the claims, denies that class certification is appropriate, denies that the plaintiff has standing to assert the claims alleged and is vigorously defending against the claims. The company denies any violation of law and plans to vigorously defend against all claims. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation or the range of potential loss. Flagship Theatres of Palm Desert, LLC d/b/a Cinemas Palme D’Or v. Century Theatres, Inc., and Cinemark USA, Inc.; Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. Plaintiff in this case alleges that the Company violated California antitrust and unfair competition laws by engaging in “circuit dealing” with various motion picture distributors and tortuously interfered with Plaintiff’s business relationships. Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, trebling of those damages under California law, punitive damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, costs and interest. Plaintiff also alleges that the Company’s conduct ultimately resulted in closure of its theatre in June 2016. The Company denied the allegations. In 2008, the Company moved for summary judgment on Plaintiff’s claims, arguing primarily that clearances between the theatres at issue were lawful and that Plaintiff lacked proof sufficient to support certain technical elements of its antitrust claims. The trial court granted that motion and dismissed Plaintiff’s claims. Plaintiff appealed and, in 2011, the Court of Appeal reversed, holding, among other things, that Plaintiff’s claims were not about the illegality of clearances but were focused, instead, on “circuit dealing.” Having re-framed the claims in that manner, the Court of Appeal held that the trial court’s decision to limit discovery to the market where the theatres at issue operated was an error, as “circuit dealing” necessarily involves activities in different markets. Upon return to the trial court, the parties engaged in additional, broadened discovery related to Plaintiff’s “circuit dealing” claim. Thereafter, the Company moved again for summary judgment on all of Plaintiff’s claims. That new motion for summary judgment was pending when, on or about April 11, 2014, the trial court granted the Company’s motion for terminating sanctions and entered a judgment dismissing the case with prejudice. Plaintiff then appealed that second dismissal, seeking to have the judgment reversed and the case remanded to the trial court. The Court of Appeal issued a ruling on May 24, 2016, reversing the granting of terminating sanctions and instead imposed a lesser evidentiary and damages preclusion sanction. The case returned to the trial court on October 6, 2016. On May 10, 2018, after a five-week jury trial, the jury found no liability on one circuit dealing claim and awarded Plaintiff damages on the other claim, which are tripled for antitrust damage awards. Plaintiff would also be entitled to certain court costs and to seek at least some portion of its attorney’s fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a litigation reserve based on an estimate of the jury award, which is reflected in loss on disposal of assets and other on the condensed consolidated income statement. The trial court denied a motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict and a motion for a new trial. The Company intends to appeal the judgment. Although the Company denies that it engaged in any form of circuit dealing, it cannot predict the outcome of its pending motions or future appeals. The Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. The CID relates to an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. The Company also received CIDs from the Antitrust Section of the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Ohio and later from other states regarding similar inquiries under state antitrust laws. The CIDs request the Company to answer interrogatories, and produce documents, or both, related to the investigation of matters including film clearances, potential coordination and/or communication with other major theatre circuits and related joint ventures. The Company intends to fully cooperate with all federal and state government agencies. Although the Company does not believe that it has violated any federal or state antitrust or competition laws, it cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations. From time to time, the Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, landlord-tenant disputes, patent claims and 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.
