Long-Term Debt Activity [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt Activity	4. Long-Term Debt Activity 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. The senior subordinated notes mature on June 15, 2021. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $4,500 in connection with the issuance. 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 are 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 interest rates applicable to or 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, 2012, there was approximately $901,266 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 in paragraph 10-35 of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (“FASB ASC Topic 820”). The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1,566,396 and $1,572,221 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1,628,826 and $1,622,286 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
