            The Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D"),
filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1 of the Rules and Regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), by Universal Studios, Inc., a
Delaware corporation formerly known as MCA INC. ("Universal"), and by The
Seagram Company Ltd., a Canadian corporation ("Seagram"), with respect to the
common shares ("Common Shares") of Cineplex Odeon Corporation, a Canadian
corporation ("Cineplex"), is hereby amended by amending and restating Items 2,
4, 5 and 6 in their entirety as set forth below.

Item 2.     Identity and Background.

            The principal executive offices of Seagram are located at 1430 Peel
Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 1S9 and the principal executive offices of
Universal are located at 100 Universal City Plaza,
Universal City, California 91608.

mixers throughout more than 150 countries and territories. The entertainment
company, Universal, produces and distributes motion picture, television and home
video products, and recorded music, and operates theme parks and retail stores.

the benefit of Edgar M. Bronfman and his descendants are the sole partners and

Seagram Common Shares, and Edgar M. Bronfman, Charles R. Bronfman and their

Common Shares. In addition, such persons hold currently exercisable options to
purchase an additional 0.81% of the Seagram Common Shares, calculated pursuant
to Rule 13d-3 of the Rules and Regulations under the Act. Percentages set forth
in this Item 2 are based on the number of Seagram Common Shares outstanding as
of April 30, 1997.

            Edgar M. Bronfman is Chairman of the Board of Seagram and a director
of Seagram. Charles R. Bronfman is Co-Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the
Executive Committee of Seagram and a director of

Seagram. Edgar M. Bronfman, Charles R. Bronfman, Phyllis Lambert and the late
Minda de Gunzburg are siblings.

            Pursuant to a voting trust agreement, Charles R. Bronfman serves as
voting trustee for Seagram Common Shares beneficially owned directly or
indirectly by Bronfman Associates, the aforesaid trusts for the benefit of Edgar
M. Bronfman and his descendants, the aforesaid trusts for the benefit of Charles
R. Bronfman and his descendants, the first two of the three aforesaid charitable
foundations and Charles R. Bronfman. Pursuant to another voting trust agreement,
Edgar M. Bronfman and Charles R. Bronfman are among the voting trustees for
Seagram Common Shares beneficially owned directly or indirectly by trusts for
the benefit of the family of the late Minda de Gunzburg and members of her
immediate family. Neither voting trust agreement contains restrictions on the
right of the voting trustees to vote the deposited Seagram Common Shares.

            The Bronfman Family may be deemed to be in control of Seagram.
Information concerning the foregoing persons and entities, together with
information concerning the directors and executive officers of Universal and
Seagram, is contained in Schedule A attached hereto.

            During the last five years, neither Seagram nor Universal, nor to
the best knowledge of Seagram or Universal, any of their respective directors or
executive officers (or any other person or entity set forth in Schedule A), has
been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
has been or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining

future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.

            On June 20, 1997, Cineplex issued a press release confirming that it
is in discussions with Sony Retail Entertainment, Inc. ("SRE") with respect to a
possible merger between Cineplex and SRE's Loews Theatres Group ("Loews"). The
press release stated that, under the terms currently being considered, Loews
will join with all existing Cineplex shareholders in the combined entity and
that no assurances can be given at this time that an agreement will be entered
into with SRE or if entered into that a transaction will be completed. The press
release also indicated that any transaction would be subject to a number of
approvals, including shareholder and regulatory approvals in both Canada and the
United States.

            As a large shareholder of Cineplex with designees on its Board of
Directors, Universal would naturally become involved to some extent in any
proposed business combination involving Cineplex. Accordingly, Universal is
actively involved in the discussions regarding the possible merger between
Cineplex and Loews as requested by Cineplex management and SRE.

            In the ordinary course of business, Universal reviews the
performance of its investment in Cineplex. Depending on various factors,
including Cineplex's business affairs, prospects, financial position, current
and anticipated future price levels of the Common Shares, conditions in the
securities markets, general economic and industry conditions, as well as other
opportunities available to it,
<PAGE>   9
                                                              Page 9 of 23 Pages



Universal will take such actions with respect to its investment in Cineplex as
it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time
and subject to agreements between Universal and Cineplex described in Item 6
below and to applicable regulatory requirements. Subject to such agreements and
to applicable regulatory requirements, Universal may purchase additional equity
in Cineplex or may, and hereby reserves the right to, sell some or all of its
holdings in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to one or
more purchasers under appropriate circumstances.


Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

            Universal beneficially owns all of the issued and outstanding
73,446,426 Subordinate Restricted Voting Shares ("SRVs") of Cineplex and might
be deemed to beneficially own 73,446,426 Common Shares, representing
approximately 41.5% of the Common Shares that would be outstanding upon the
conversion of the SRVs into Common Shares. As a result of its ownership of an
indirect 80% interest in Universal, Seagram may also be deemed to beneficially
own such Common Shares. Except as set forth in the cover pages of the Schedule
13D and as described below, neither Universal or Seagram nor, to the best
knowledge of Universal and Seagram, any of their respective directors or
executive officers (or any other person or entity set forth in Schedule A to the
Schedule 13D) has the power to vote or direct the vote or to dispose or to
direct the disposition of any Common Shares. Each of Universal and Seagram
disclaims the beneficial ownership of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion
of the SRVs beneficially owned by Universal.

            Under the terms of the SRVs and subject to the terms of the
agreements described in Item 6 below, with respect to all matters other than the
election of directors, Universal, as holder of all the issued and outstanding
SRVs, may vote the lesser of: (i) one vote less than one vote for each SRV then
issued and outstanding and (ii) one vote less than one-half of the sum of (a)
the total number of votes attached to all Cineplex voting securities (other than
the SRVs) then issued and outstanding minus (b) three times the number of votes
attached to all Cineplex voting securities (other than the SRVs) owned by
Universal, its subsidiaries, associates, affiliates, their respective directors
and officers, and the associates and affiliates of such directors and officers.

            Under the terms of the SRVs, as holder of all the issued and
outstanding SRVs, Universal has the right to nominate a number of directors
(rounded up or down to the nearest whole number) as is proportionate to its
ownership of voting securities; provided, however, that such number will not
exceed four when the authorized number of directors is 15, and will not exceed
one-third of the members of the Cineplex Board of Directors (rounded down to the
nearest whole number) when the authorized number of directors is other than 15.
Universal has the right to vote all SRVs owned by it on the basis of one vote
per share for the election of its nominees to the Cineplex Board of Directors.
Except under certain limited circumstances, Universal may not vote for any other
nominees to the Cineplex Board.

            Subject to the terms of the agreements described in Item 6 below,
Universal has the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the SRVs. If
SRVs are sold by Universal to a third party, such

SRVs will be automatically converted into Common Shares on a share-for-share
basis upon transfer.

            As disclosed in a Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended, as filed by
the Charles Rosner Bronfman Family Trust, Stephen R. Bronfman, Arnold M.
Ludwick, E. Leo Kolber, Charles R. Bronfman and the Phyllis Lambert Foundation,
Charles R. Bronfman, Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the
Executive Committee of Seagram, beneficially owns 3,409,924 Common Shares,
representing 3.3% of the outstanding Common Shares and 1.9% of the Common Shares
that would be outstanding upon the conversion of the SRVs into Common Shares. E.
Leo Kolber, a director of Seagram, beneficially owns, directly and indirectly
through a wholly-owned corporation, 3,578,092 Common Shares, representing 3.5%
of the outstanding Common Shares and 2.0% of the Common Shares that would be
outstanding upon the conversion of the SRVs into Common Shares. Arnold M.
Ludwick, Vice President of Seagram, beneficially owns 233,772 Common Shares,
representing 0.23% of the Common Shares outstanding and 0.13% of the Common
Shares that would be outstanding upon the conversion of SRVs into Common Shares.
The Phyllis Lambert Foundation, a charitable foundation the members and
directors of which include Charles R. Bronfman and Phyllis Lambert, beneficially
owns 314,107 Common Shares, representing 0.30% of the outstanding Common Shares
and 0.18% of the Common Shares that would be outstanding upon the conversion of
the SRVs into Common Shares. Each of the persons described in this paragraph has
the sole power to vote and to dispose of the Common Shares reported to be owned
by such person, except that Charles R. Bronfman has shared power to vote and to
dispose of 99,266 Common Shares described as beneficially owned by him and E.
Leo Kolber has shared power to vote and to dispose of

75,000 Common Shares as beneficially owned by him. Percentages set forth in this
Item 5 are based on the number of Common Shares outstanding as of May 14, 1997
as reported in the Management Information Circular dated May 26, 1997 relating
to the 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Cineplex.


Item 6.     Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
            with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

            Universal and Cineplex are parties to a subscription agreement dated
January 15, 1986, as amended (the "Restated Subscription Agreement"), and a
standstill agreement dated May 12, 1986, as amended (the "Standstill Agreement"
and, together with the Restated Subscription Agreement, the "Agreements"),
copies of which have been filed previously in the Schedule 13D. The Agreements
contain certain restrictions on Universal's ability to dispose of the SRVs and
impose restrictions on Universal's ability to acquire additional securities of
Cineplex and to engage in certain conduct in respect of Cineplex. In the event
Universal is entitled to sell Cineplex securities, Universal may not dispose of
any such securities unless such securities are first offered to Cineplex or its
designee, subject to Universal's limited right to sell up to two percent of its
holdings of Cineplex securities from time to time in public offerings; provided,
however, that Universal will not be subject to the right of first refusal in
favor of Cineplex with respect to any offer for all the shares of Cineplex which
is not disapproved by the Cineplex Board of Directors.

            The Agreements provide Universal with the right to purchase, subject
to required regulatory approvals, additional SRVs from Cineplex to maintain its
then existing fully-diluted equity position when Cineplex issues new equity
securities or options or rights to acquire such securities. The Agreements also
permit Universal to purchase additional voting securities of Cineplex from third
parties at any time, provided that Universal is not permitted to acquire in
excess of 50% of the equity of Cineplex on a fully-diluted basis.
Notwithstanding the above prohibitions on Universal's purchase of Cineplex
securities, Universal may commence a tender offer for Cineplex securities
provided that the tender offer is (i) unconditional as to the number of shares
deposited, (ii) for cash and/or voting equity securities of Universal and (iii)
for any and all of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

            During the term of the Standstill Agreement, Universal may not
solicit proxies, deposit its SRVs in a voting trust, or engage in any other
activities to acquire or affect the control of Cineplex, except as provided in
the Standstill Agreement or the Articles of Amalgamation of Cineplex.

            The Agreements also contain certain restrictions on the number of
additional equity securities which Cineplex may issue without the approval of
75% of the directors of Cineplex. As contemplated by the terms of the SRVs, four
of the 15 Cineplex directors are Universal designees. In addition, the
Agreements give Universal a right of first refusal if Cineplex wishes to dispose
of material United States assets

or its interest therein which right may be exercised in whole or in part by
exchanging SRVs for such assets or interest.

            Pursuant to a Registration Agreement dated May 12, 1986 between
Universal and Cineplex, Cineplex has granted Universal certain registration
rights with respect to Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the SRVs owned
by Universal. A copy of this agreement has been filed previously in the Schedule
13D.
