The company plans to find a buyer during its Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which allows it to continue operating while its managers and advisers work on repaying creditors.
The Austin-based company says the sale will provide "much-needed incremental financing to stabilize the business during the pandemic." Alamo Drafthouse listed assets and liabilities of as much as $500 million each in its bankruptcy petition.
