| Liquidity | Liquidity. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations currently and through the next twelve months. The Company’s cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. Based on the Company’s current cost structure, in order to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows from operating activities, the Company believes that revenues will need to increase from current levels to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. Until such time as the Company is able to achieve sustainable net positive cash flows from operating activities, it is difficult to estimate the Company’s future cash burn rates and liquidity requirements. Depending on the Company’s assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve increased levels of revenue, the estimates of the required liquidity vary significantly. There can be no assurance that the revenues, costs, attendance levels, and other assumptions used to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and the ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels, and success of individual titles. Further, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet the Company’s obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The Company expects, from time to time, to continue to seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Company continuously monitors the capital markets and its capital structure, and may, from time to time, seek to refinance, amend or otherwise restructure its outstanding debt on an opportunistic basis. Such repurchases, refinancings, amendments, restructurings or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as it may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, its liquidity requirements, the availability of authorized share capital, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material and, to the extent equity is used, dilutive. Additionally, the Company has bolstered its liquidity through sales of its Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”), see Note 6—Stockholders’ Deficit and Note 11—Subsequent Events for further information on these sales. |

| Investments | Investments. The Company accounts for its investments in non-consolidated entities using the equity method when the Company’s ownership interest provides the Company with significant influence. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-30-35-3, investment in a limited liability company, which prescribes the use of the equity method for investments where the Company has significant influence. Under the equity method, the Company shall recognize its share of the earnings or losses of an investee. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost less impairment. The Company classifies gains and losses on sales of investments or impairments of investments without a readily determinable fair value in investment expense (income). Investments in non-consolidated entities are presented within other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. On February 5, 2026, the Company exercised its remaining warrants to purchase 1,000,824 common shares of Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (“Hycroft”) on a cashless basis and received 765,440 common shares of Hycroft.
