Discontinued Operations [Abstract]

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

NOTE 13—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Theatres are generally considered for closure due to an expiring lease term, underperformance, or the opportunity to better deploy invested capital. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company closed eleven, seven and eight theatres, respectively. Of those closures, in 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company classified six, five, and two theatres, respectively, as discontinued operations.

All activity from prior years included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations has been reclassified to separately reflect the results of operations from discontinued operations through the respective date of the theatre closings. Assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations have not been segregated from assets and liabilities from continuing operations as they are not material.

The following table sets forth the summary of activity for discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010:
