                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
NEW LINE CINEMA CORPORATION

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of New
Line Cinema Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1991 and 1992, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1992. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at
Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of New Line Cinema Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1991 and 1992,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1992 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedules when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.
