Cinema news is drawing attention on two fronts. Belgian exhibitor Kinepolis has completed its acquisition of 13 Showcase Cinemas locations, expanding its footprint in the US market. Meanwhile, a historic indie theatre on Long Island is in turmoil after its beloved co-director was fired, sparking protests, cancellations and accusations of 'disloyalty'. Together the stories highlight consolidation on one side and instability at independent venues on the other.
