Text: ACQUISITION OF THE MANN THEATER 75 Syufy argues that the admission of evidence concerning Syufy's acquisition of the Town and Country Theatre was prejudicial error. Syufy argues that because the Town and Country Theater was acquired after 1975-79, the period at issue, the acquisition was not relevant. We disagree. First, the evidence was relevant to Syufy's specific intent to monopolize. Behavior after the relevant period could shed light on intentions during that period. The district court gave a cautionary instruction to the jury that the evidence was only to be considered on intent. R.T. at 2812. Second, Syufy opened the door to evidence concerning this transaction by first raising the issue in its questions, R.T. at 1734, and by introducing evidence of AMC's post 1979 conduct. R.T. at 158-59.
