Alamo Drafthouse to Reopen Six Cinemas After Bankruptcy Closures

The theater chain, now under Sony ownership, will revive locations in Texas and Minnesota with enhanced employee benefits.

All six venues, including five in Dallas-Fort Worth and one in Minnesota, closed due to franchisee bankruptcy.
The theaters will reopen under Alamo Drafthouse's direct ownership after being acquired by Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Affected employees will have first access to job openings and improved benefits, including daily pay and mental health services.
Alamo Drafthouse is known for its in-theater dining, themed events, and strict no-talking policy.
The reopening comes during a strong summer for moviegoing, aiming to reestablish community ties.
