Cobb Theaters is hoping to score a nine-figure damage verdict against exhibition giant AMC Entertainment in an antitrust lawsuit. The Georgia-based movie theater chain’s demand became public in a filing last week, though Cobb is now asking a judge to keep it quiet.
“By its Complaint, Cobb seeks trebled damages of hundreds of millions of dollars,” stated AMC’s court papers. “Cobb further seeks punitive damages for its tortious interference claims, as well as a permanent injunction that, if granted, would materially impact AMC’s business throughout the United States.”
“Discovery revealed that Cobb’s lawsuit is actually nine different cases in one,” AMC’s motion to exceed page limits stated.
After U.S. District Court judge Eleanor Ross granted AMC’s request to file two 35-page briefs, Cobb came forward to complain that the hundreds of millions of dollars it is seeking was a secret.
