Acquisitions
Forty-one of the Clearview Cinema locations were purchased by Ridgefield, Connecticut-based Bow Tie Cinemas. The acquisition was announced on April 29, 2013, and made Bow Tie the largest exhibitor in the metropolitan New York area and the eighth-largest chain in the nation.
Bow Tie also managed the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York, although Cablevision retained ownership. The Chelsea Cinemas in New York City became Bow Tie's Manhattan flagship venue, and continued to host events, including the Tribeca Film Festival.
