| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies [Legal to Update] | 17. Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, patent claims, landlord-tenant disputes, contractual disputes with landlords over certain termination rights and other contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Gerardo Rodriguez, individually and on behalf of a class of all others similarly situated vs Cinemark USA, Inc. and Cinemark Holdings, Inc., et al. This class action lawsuit was filed against the Company on February 24, 2023 in the Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois alleging violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit in June 2026. Lakenya Neal, individually and on behalf of a class of all others similarly situated vs. Cinemark USA, Inc. and Cinemark Holdings, Inc., et al. On May 14, 2026, plaintiff refiled a putative class action lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. Plaintiffs previously filed a substantially similar action in California state court on December 10, 2021, which plaintiff voluntarily dismissed in March 2023. The current Lakenya Neal action is also substantially similar to the previously disclosed Gerardo Rodriguez action. Both Lakenya Neal actions and the Gerardo Rodriguez actions were filed by the same plaintiffs' counsel, are based on the same alleged conduct and seek to represent substantially the same putative class. The Company intends to vigorously defend the matter. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation. Shane Waldrop, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, vs. Cinemark USA, Inc. This putative nationwide class action lawsuit was filed against the Company on April 16, 2024, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division, alleging violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and unjust enrichment based on the Company’s alleged mislabeling of twenty-four ounce draft beer cups used at certain theaters. On March 19, 2026, the United States District Judge issued an order dismissing the case without prejudice due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Subsequently, the parties entered into a settlement agreement resolving all alleged disputed claims, and the court issued a final judgment dismissing the litigation on March 19, 2026. |
