Fortress Investment Group Acquires Iconic Curzon Cinema Chain

The acquisition follows a legal battle over unpaid debts by former owner Charles Cohen, securing over 350 jobs.

Curzon, a renowned British arthouse cinema chain with 16 locations, was sold to Fortress Investment Group after a foreclosure auction.
Charles Cohen, the former owner, defaulted on a $534 million loan, leading to the sale of Curzon and other assets.
The acquisition includes Curzon's film distribution arm and its streaming service, Curzon Home Cinema.
Fortress plans to support Curzon's expansion and maintain its tradition of showcasing independent and international films.
Curzon's streaming service, launched in 2010, now reaches 6.5 million households, enhancing its digital footprint.
