The thing to remember is Cineworld IS a very profitable business! The reason they are in this position is because of Covid and Hollywood's lack of films in Q4 2022! I read the other day that Netflix is bringing out more content in the next 3 month than all the studios in Hollywood combined! This is the reason why Cineworld are in this position!
You really need to read up about Chapter 11 and you will see that Cineworld will be in a much stronger position in 3 months ready for 2023 and will be able to prove to the US courts that they can carry on as a profitable business which is what is needed to come out of a chapter11 bankruptcy! Look at 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019 balance sheets and you will see that is what is going to happen in 2023!
Chapter 11: In this type of bankruptcy, the company seeks court protection from creditors until it files a financial recovery plan. If the plan is accepted, the company can renegotiate debts, cut costs and keep doing business. It can also eventually emerge from bankruptcy and even recover financially.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy usually occurs when a company is shouldering more debt than it can pay off in the course of normal business operations. In many cases, that same company believes it can operate profitably again once it gets its debt load under control.
