According to The Hollywood Reporter, the theater franchise is entering into a “restructuring agreement” and plans to sell assets to Altamont Capital and Fortress Investment Group.

Tim League, a founder of Alamo Drafthouse and its executive chairman, will also be among the buyers, The Hollywood Reporter said. The deal will hopefully allow the theaters to survive beyond the pandemic.
