Clearview Cinemas was a chain of movie theatres within the New York metropolitan area. A subsidiary of Cablevision from 1998 to 2013, Clearview Cinemas was formed in 1994 through a group led by Bud Mayo and was listed as a public company on the American Stock Exchange on August 19, 1997. It was acquired by Bow Tie Cinemas in April 2013.[1]
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]
