Cineplex Says It's Weighing a Sale — and Names a CEO From Landmark

Cineplex is considering a potential sale, a possibility the company disclosed in the same statement that named Bill Walker, formerly head of Landmark Cinemas, as its new chief executive. The company said its board is confident in its future prospects while it evaluates all avenues — which keeps two futures on the table at once: a standalone path under a new CEO, or a change of owner. For a Canadian exhibitor, those are different jobs, and the announcement doesn't say which one Walker was hired to do.
