                                                            Exhibit 10.9.7

Loews Cineplex Entertainment Announces Extension of Waiver Under Its Credit
Facility to January 26, 2001




  NEW YORK & TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 2000--Loews Cineplex
  Entertainment Corporation (NYSE:LCP; TSE:LCX) announced today that it has
  entered into an agreement with the syndicate banks that provide funding
  to the Company under its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to
  extend from December 8, 2000 through February 26, 2001 the waiver of
  compliance with various financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
  Under the modified terms, the Company will have access to a limited
  amount of additional availability under the Credit Facility through
  January 26, 2001 to meet its anticipated financial obligations during the
  waiver period and has agreed to provide additional collateral.

  During the waiver period, the Company will continue discussions with its
  lending group and the other members of its capital structure in order to
  address, among other things, the Company's long-term liquidity needs
  beyond this period. There can, of course, be no assurance that the
  Company will be able to reach such an agreement with its lenders. If the
  Company is unsuccessful in its negotiations, the lending group could
  accelerate the maturity of these loans and the Company could face the
  prospect of a restructuring under bankruptcy proceedings.

  Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation is one of the world's largest
  publicly traded theatre exhibition companies in terms of revenues and
  operating cash flow, with 2,960 screens in 376 locations primarily in
  major theatres throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Loews
  Cineplex's divisions include Loews Cineplex United States, Loews Cineplex
  International and Cineplex Odeon Canada. Loews Cineplex operates theatres
  under the Loews, Sony and Cineplex Odeon names. In addition, the Company
  is a partner in Magic Johnson Theatres, Star Theatres, Yelmo Cineplex de
  Espana, De Laurentiis Cineplex d'Italia, Transturk Cineplex of Turkey and
  Far East Cineplex of Vietnam.

  This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the
  Company's results and prospects. Actual results could differ materially
  from these statements. The forward-looking statements in this press
  release could be read in conjunction with the factors described in "Item
  2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
  Results of Operations--Factors That May Affect Future Performance" in the
  Company's quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
  August 31, 2000, which, among others, could cause actual results to
  differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made
  in this press release and in oral statements made by authorized officers
  of the Company. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
  these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The
