BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Use of Estimates	*Use of Estimates:* Preparing the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket breakage. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fiscal Year	*Fiscal Year:* On November 15, 2012, the Company changed its fiscal year to a calendar year ending on December 31^st of each year. Prior to the change, the Company had a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Thursday closest to the last day of March. All references to "fiscal year", unless otherwise noted, refer to the 52/53 week fiscal year, which ended on the Thursday closest to the last day of March.
Discontinued Operations	*Discontinued Operations:* The results of operations for the Company's discontinued operations have been eliminated from the Company's continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company received $4,666,000 for a sales price adjustment from the sale of theatres located in Canada.

Disclosure of accounting policy for any discontinued operations. The results of operations of a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations if both: (a) the operations and cash flows of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. If the entity elects to allocate interest expense to a discontinued operation, it may disclose its accounting policy for this election and describe its method of allocation.

Disclosure of accounting policy for determining an entity's fiscal year or other fiscal period. This disclosure may include identification of the fiscal period end-date, the length of the fiscal period, any reporting period lag between the entity and its subsidiaries, or equity investees. If a reporting lag exists, the closing date of the entity having a different period end is generally noted, along with an explanation of the necessity for using different closing dates. Any intervening events that materially affect the entity's financial position or results of operations are generally also disclosed.
