Announces Cash Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for Outstanding 8 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes PLANO, Texas--March 16, 2004--Cinemark USA, Inc. (the "Company") announced today that it is commencing a tender offer for any and all of its outstanding $105 million 8 1/2% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (CUSIP No. 172441AL1) (the "Notes") and is soliciting consents for certain proposed amendments to the Company's Indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued. The tender offer and the solicitation of consents are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated March 16, 2004 (the "Offer to Purchase") which more fully sets forth their terms. The tender offer and solicitation of consents are taking place in connection with a recapitalization (the "Recapitalization") of Cinemark, Inc., the parent company of the Company. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 pm, New York City time on April 13, 2004, unless extended (the "Expiration Date"). The consent solicitation will expire at 5:00pm, New York City time on March 25, 2004, unless extended (the "Consent Date"). Holders of Notes who tender their Notes on or prior to the Consent Date will receive the Total Consideration equal to 104.5% of the principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (as described below). Holders of Notes who tender their Notes after the Consent Date but prior to the Expiration Date, will receive 101.5% of the principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (the "Tender Offer Consideration"). The Total Consideration is the sum of the Tender Offer Consideration and a premium of 3.0% of the principal amount of the Notes paid to each holder of Notes that validly tenders on or prior to the Consent Date. In each case, holders that validly tender their Notes shall receive accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. The tender offer and solicitation will be conditioned upon the consummation of the Recapitalization. Neither the tender offer and solicitation of consents nor the Recapitalization is conditioned upon obtaining the consent of a majority of holders of Notes. Holders who tender their notes prior to 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the Consent Date may withdraw their tenders and revoke their consents at any time prior to 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the Consent Date but not thereafter.

King & Co., Inc., the Information Agent and Tender Agent for the tender offer and solicitation, at 888-567-1626.

In any jurisdiction where the laws require the offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the offer shall be deemed made on behalf of the company by Lehman Brothers Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. or one or more registered brokers or dealers under the laws of such jurisdiction.
