I don’t think Alamo Drafthouse sold to private equity, but rather to Sony.

They (well, Tim League and friends) sold to Altamont first [^0]. Altamont sold them to Sony last year. [^1]

And the enshittification is already happening. That one of the Drafthouse theaters IN THEIR HOME TURF (Slaughter, outside of Austin) unionized with the UAW and names Sony in their formation letter speaks volumes. [^2]
