Acquisition by Bow Tie Cinemas

Forty-one of the Clearview Cinema locations were purchased by Ridgefield, Connecticut-based Bow Tie Cinemas. The acquisition was announced on April 29, 2013, [1] and made Bow Tie the largest exhibitor in the metropolitan New York area and the eighth-largest chain in the nation. [2]

Bow Tie also managed the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York, although Cablevision retained ownership. [2] The Chelsea Cinemas in New York City became Bow Tie's Manhattan flagship venue, and continued to host events, including the Tribeca Film Festival. [1] [3]
