| 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 historical cash burn rates are not sustainable long-term. Based on the Company’s current cost structure, in order to achieve sustainable annual net positive cash flows from operating activities, the Company believes that revenues will need to be at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues. The Company has achieved net positive cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Until such time as the Company is able to achieve annual 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 for further information on these sales. |
