(the “9019 Motion”). The 9019 Motion requested an order, among other things, that the most favored nations clause (the “MFN”) in Cinemark’s Exhibitor Services Agreement was not triggered by the Network Affiliate Transaction Agreement with Regal Cinemas, Inc. On June 14, 2023, Cinemark filed an objection to the 9019 Motion.
