Getty Images for CinemaCon Movie theater owners have become embroiled in the kind of drama they usually sell on the big screen, thanks to the ongoing saga of Paramount’s proposed takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Cinema United, the exhibition industry’s main lobbying group, for months has been publicly opposed to any potential sale of Warner Bros.

He now has another problem: The group’s two most powerful members, AMC Theatres and Regal Cinemas, are contradicting that message.
