iPic Theaters, LLC, a Boca Raton, FL-based operator of 13 dine-in movie theaters, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Feb. 25 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.
The Debtor, wholly owned by Retirement Systems of Alabama following the 2019 acquisition of its predecessor’s assets, attributes the current filing to persistent declines in the cinema industry. Despite the previous restructuring, the company faced insurmountable headwinds including reduced theatrical release volumes and intensified competition from streaming platforms, preventing box office receipts from recovering to pre-pandemic levels. The Debtor experienced a $19.4 million net loss in 2025.
Proceeding under Subchapter V, the Debtor aims to conduct an orderly liquidation of its assets. The capital structure is notably absent of traditional funded debt; prepetition obligations total approximately $2.6 million, consisting primarily of $2.1 million in accrued employee compensation and benefits, alongside trade debt and tax liabilities. The Debtors has no significant secured claims beyond a singular equipment financing statement.
The company reports $10 million to $50 million in assets and $1 million to $10 million in liabilities. The filing indicates that there will be funds available for distribution to unsecured creditors. The case number is 26-12313.
