Long-Term Debt Activity [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt Activity	4. Long-Term Debt Activity Amendment and Extension of the Senior Secured Credit Facility On March 2, 2010, Cinemark USA, Inc. completed an amendment and extension to the senior secured credit facility to primarily extend the maturities of the facility and make certain other modifications. $924,375 of the Company’s then remaining outstanding $1,083,600 term loan debt was extended from an original maturity date of October 2013 to a maturity date of April 2016. The then remaining term loan debt of $159,225 that was not extended continued to have a maturity date of October 2013. Issuance of Cinemark USA, Inc. 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2021 On June 3, 2011, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $200,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2021, at par value. The proceeds, after payment of fees, were primarily used to fund the prepayment of the remaining $157,235 of the Company’s unextended portion of term loan debt under its senior secured credit facility. Interest on the senior subordinated notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on December 15, 2011. The senior subordinated notes mature on June 15, 2021. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $4,500 in connection with the issuance. The senior subordinated notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of the Company’s or a guarantor’s other debt. The senior subordinated notes and the guarantees are senior subordinated unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and its guarantor’s future senior subordinated indebtedness; are subordinate in right of payment to all of the Company’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, including the Company’s obligations under its senior secured credit facility and its 8.625% senior notes; and structurally subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. The indenture to the senior subordinated notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. Upon a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if we satisfy the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. Prior to June 15, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the senior subordinated notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior subordinated notes to the date of redemption. After June 15, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the senior subordinated notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to June 15, 2014, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior subordinated notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture. The Company and its guarantor subsidiaries have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to which the Company has offered to exchange the senior subordinated notes for senior subordinated notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that will not contain terms restricting transfer thereof or providing for registration rights. The registration statement was declared effective on August 4, 2011 (the “Effective Date”). The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to issue on the earliest practicable date after the Effective Date, but not later than 30 days thereafter, exchange registered senior subordinated notes in exchange for all senior subordinated notes tendered prior thereto in the exchange offer. If the Company is obligated to file a shelf registration statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises (and in any event within 210 days after the closing of the senior subordinated notes offering) and to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 180 days after such obligation arises. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective for a period of twelve months after the closing of the senior subordinated notes offering. If the Company fails to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the Effective Date with respect to the exchange offer registration statement or the date the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the Commission or the exchange offer registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement without being succeeded within two business days by a post-effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event a “Registration Default”), the Company will pay additional interest to each holder of the senior subordinated notes. Such additional interest, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any such Registration Default, shall equal an increase in the annual interest rate on the notes by 0.5% per annum. The amount of the additional interest will increase by an additional 0.5% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period relating to such Registration Default until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of additional interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum. The senior subordinated notes will not accrue additional interest from and after the second anniversary of the closing of the senior subordinated notes offering even if the Company is not in compliance with its obligations under the registration rights agreement. The receipt of additional interest shall be the sole remedy available to holders of senior subordinated notes as a result of one or more Registration Defaults. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest will cease. Prepayment of Term Loan Debt On June 3, 2011, the Company prepaid the remaining $157,235 of its unextended term loan debt under its senior secured credit facility utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Cinemark USA, Inc. 7.375% senior subordinated notes discussed above. There were no prepayment penalties incurred upon the prepayment of the term loan debt. Subsequent to the prepayment, the quarterly payments due on the term loan will be approximately $2,311 per quarter through March 2016 with the remaining principal amount of approximately $866,602 due April 30, 2016. The prepayment did not impact the interest rate applicable to the remaining portion of the term loan debt nor did it impact the maturity of the Company’s revolving credit line. As a result of the prepayment, the Company wrote-off approximately $2,183 in unamortized debt issue costs related to the unextended portion of term loan debt that was prepaid. In addition, the Company determined that a portion of the quarterly interest payments hedged by two of its current interest rate swap agreements under cash flow hedges and the quarterly interest payments related to its previously terminated interest rate swap agreement were probable not to occur and therefore reclassified approximately $2,760 of its accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges to earnings, as a component of loss on early retirement of debt. The Company also recorded fees of $2 to loss on early retirement of debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $910,509 outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line. Fair Value of Long-Term Debt The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt primarily using quoted market prices, which fall under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1,570,604 and $1,532,441 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1,629,249 and $1,581,963 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
