Summary
MARI agreed to acquire ATG Entertainment from Providence Equity Partners in a deal the Financial Times had pegged at about $6 billion, though the companies did not disclose terms.
ATG gives Ari Emanuel’s live-events venture a major theater footprint: 7 of Broadway’s 41 theaters, 10 West End houses and 70 venues across Britain, the U.S., Germany and Spain.
The purchase deepens MARI’s push into theater after its 2025 acquisition of ticketing company TodayTix, tying venue ownership more closely to its broader live-entertainment portfolio.
Regulatory approval is still required, and MARI said ATG will keep its existing brand and leadership after the transaction closes.
