GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) Goodrich Quality Theaters wants a federal judge to force movie studios to keep providing films so it can stay alive amid bankruptcy. <\/p>\n
The Kentwood-based company filed for Chapter 11 protection last week. It says it owes millions, including more than $1 million to movie distributors. <\/p>\n
According to Wednesday court filings, Goodrichs attorneys say big-name distributors like Disney, Focus, Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony and more have suggested, threatened and promised to stop sending their movies to Goodrich. <\/p>\n
If that happens, the filings say, the theaters would have no movies to show and would have to shut down, destroying Goodrichs chances to reorganize. Goodrich is asking a judge to protect it from losing the movies.<\/p>\n
The judge did not make a decision Wednesday. If the court denies the request, Goodrich theaters could close immediately. <\/p>\n
It has 14 theaters in Michigan, including in Battle Creek, Grand Haven, Hastings, Holland, Kalamazoo, Lowell and Three Rivers.<\/p>\n
