Civil Action No: 1:10–cv–00846 

Judge: Kennedy, Henry H. 

Filed: 5/21/2010. 

Complaint 

The United States of America, acting 

under the direction of the Attorney 

General of the United States, and the 

States of Illinois, Colorado, and Indiana, 

acting through their Attorneys General, 

bring this civil antitrust action to 

prevent AMC Entertainment Holdings, 

Inc. (‘‘AMC’’) from acquiring most of the 

assets of Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, 

LLC (‘‘Kerasotes’’). If the acquisition is 

permitted, it would combine under 

common ownership the two leading, 

and in some cases only, mainstream 

movie theatres showing first-run 

commercial movies in certain parts of 

the metropolitan areas of Chicago, 

Denver, and Indianapolis. The 

transaction would substantially lessen 

competition and tend to create a 

monopoly in mainstream theatres in 

these markets in violation of Section 7 

of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18. 

I. Jurisdiction and Venue 

1. This action is filed by the United 

States pursuant to Section 15 of the 

Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 25, 

to obtain equitable relief and to prevent 

a violation of Section 7 of the Clayton 

Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 18. The 

States of Illinois, Colorado and Indiana 

bring this action under Section 16 of the 

Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 26, to prevent the 

defendants from violating Section 7 of 

the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 

18. 

2. Defendants have consented to 

personal jurisdiction in this District. In 

addition, defendant AMC, through its 

subsidiary, AMC Entertainment, Inc., 

operates theatres in this District. The 

licensing and exhibition of first-run, 

commercial films is a commercial 

activity that substantially affects, and is 

in the flow of, interstate trade and 

commerce. Defendants’ activities in 

purchasing equipment, services, and 

supplies as well as licensing films for 

their theatres substantially affect 

interstate commerce. The Court has 

jurisdiction over the subject matter of 

this action and jurisdiction over the 

parties pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 22, 25, and 

26, and 28 U.S.C. 1331, 1337(a), and 

1345. 

3. Venue in this District is proper 

under 15 U.S.C. 22 and 28 U.S.C. 

1391(c). 

II. Defendants and the Proposed 

Transaction 

4. Defendant AMC is a Delaware 

corporation with its headquarters in 

Kansas City, Missouri. It is the holding 

company of AMC Entertainment, Inc. 

AMC owns or operates 304 theatres 

containing 4,574 screens in locations 

throughout the United States and four 

foreign countries. Measured by number 

of screens, AMC is the second-largest 

theatre circuit in the United States. 

5. Defendant Kerasotes is a Delaware 

corporation with its principal place of 

business in Chicago, Illinois. It owns or 

operates 96 theatres with 973 screens in 

various states. Kerasotes is the sixthlargest theatre circuit in the United 

States. 

6. On January 19, 2010, AMC and 

Kerasotes signed a purchase and sale 

agreement, under which AMC acquired 

Kerasotes (with the exception of three 

theatres that will be retained by the 

Kerasotes family) for approximately 

$275 million. 

III. Background of the Movie Industry 

7. Theatrical exhibition of feature 

length motion picture films (‘‘movies’’) 

provides a major source of out-of-home 

entertainment in the United States.
