Alamo Drafthouse Chain Sees Layoffs Among Corporate Staff, Hourly Theater Employees


Alamos Drafthouse has laid off 15 corporate staffers as well as a significantly larger number of hourly employees across its circuit, effective immediately.

The corporate layoffs rep about 9% of the total focusing on support center and technical engineers to streamline the business, a person familiar with the situation told Deadline. The dine-in chain, which is now up to 44 theaters, is private so doesn’t report financials but since emerging from bankruptcy post-Covid it’s become among the hottest places to see films drawing young crowds to a mix of big studio release, arthouse and repertory fare. Sony acquired Alamo Drafthouse from owners Altamont Capital Partners, Fortress Investment Group and founder Tim League for a price tag of about $200 million.
