Kevin is a natural successor given his considerable industry knowledge and experience gleaned over the past three decades,\u201d Mitchell said of his role along with his wife in building Cinemark to become the third largest theater circuit in the U.S. market, with currently nearly 6000 cinema screens in 16 countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Cinemark has come through the disruption of the pandemic with Hollywood studios once again leaning into theatrical releases. But the exhibitor is still battling to bring viewers into its theaters and away from alternatives such as Netflix and other digital platforms, not least with the offer of luxury recliner seating and new dining options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Cinemark chairman Carlos Sepulveda paid tribute to Mitchell as he steps down from the board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cHis entrepreneurial spirit, fervor for theatrical moviegoing, and passion for people have helped differentiate the company and guide its strategic direction. On behalf of the board and the entire Cinemark team, we are immensely grateful to Lee Roy for his leadership and tremendous value added over the years, and we will work diligently to continue to position the company he founded for long-term success,\u201d Sepulveda said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
