ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     ADJUSTMENT OF MERGER CONSIDERATION.  On October 2, 1997, Cinergi Pictures
Entertainment Inc. (the "Company") announced that, pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement of Merger dated as of September 2, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement") among
the Company, Andrew G. Vajna (Chairman of the Board, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company), Valdina Corporation N.V. ("Valdina") and CPEI
Acquisition, Inc. ("Newco"), the cash amount per share which stockholders of the
Company (other than Mr. Vajna, Valdina and stockholders who perfect dissenters'
rights) will be entitled to receive upon conversion of shares of Company Common
Stock in the merger of Newco with and into the Company has been adjusted upwards
from $2.30 to $2.39 per share.  The merger consideration has been adjusted
upwards as a result of the Company's receipt of overages in connection with
the soundtrack to EVITA and the Company's settlement of its obligations 
under the Company's "first look" arrangement with Oliver Stone and certain 
affiliates of Mr. Stone.  Additional information regarding such adjustments 
to the merger consideration is contained in the press release filed
herewith as Exhibit 99.1 which is incorporated herein by this reference.
