so i heard earlier this week that the carlyle group bought 2 billion in stock in loews theatres. coincidentally, right when farenheit 911 had been released. now, i have no idea if that much stock gives them any control, so i looked it up. turns out they just damn bought the whole operation..dated june 21, 2004

"Loews is the third largest movie theater chain in the global motion picture exhibition industry, with over 200 theaters and 2,200 screens worldwide."
