Tentatively this means Union Square and Sherman Oaks and most of the higher profile locations on that list are not going to close.

[i.e. active negotiations with landlords to keep in operation are progressing, but they leave open the possibility of refiling them again]

Similar news from earlier lease rejections, their 4th filing only 5 of the 23 lease rejections left standing.

Some of the lease rejections are (becoming housing/misc developments), but yes, the major ones mostly should find new owners.

With the presumption that Cineworld/Regal is going to sell vs stay intact.

Still expecting things to shake out one way or the other by CinemaCon in April. Though if they are purchased could be a year to close.

Relatedly, If you're planning to submit a bid to buy Cineworld/Regal you have until February 16th.
