AMC, Cordish draw curtain on joint Downtown venture

A marquee match-up of AMC Entertainment Inc. and The Cordish Co. will come to an end, The Kansas City Star reports.
Gerry Lopez, CEO of AMC Entertainment, said a joint venture with Cordish to redevelop the Mainstreet and Midland theaters in downtown Kansas City will end. He said the move has been in the works for a while and could be completed in the next month.
Neither Lopez nor a representative of Cordish’s Kansas City Power & Light District would say what the split will look like.
The venture came into being as part of a revival of Downtown, involving a massive restoration of what had been the Empire Theater into the Mainstreet Theater and the renovation of the Midland Theater.
