FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-Locally based Muvico Theaters has sold three of its South Florida locations as part of the company’s financial restructuring. The theaters, which total 296,000 square feet, include the Muvico Palace 20 in Boca Raton, Muvico Boynton 14 in Boynton Beach and Muvico Paradise 24 in Davie. The theaters, along with one location in Hannover, MD, have been sold to Plano, TX_based Cinemark USA Inc., which will rebrand them over the next few months. The value of the transaction was not disclosed.

Funds from the deal are to be used to retire $55 million in debt owed to iStar Financial, for which Muvico had not made payments since October 2008, according to the Miami Herald. A release by Muvico stated that the company has now “retired all of its senior debt obligations.” A spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com that Muvico does not plan to sell any other locations in the region.
