Imax CEO Richard Gelfond is taking a temporary medial leave of absence as he undergoes treatment for pneumonia.
He will not be participating in any public or private events for the company, including April’s industry gathering CinemaCon in Las Vegas, while he receives medical care and recovers. The company issued a statement to “provide transparency and ensure that there is no speculation arising out of his [absence],” adding that “out of respect for Mr. Gelfond’s privacy as he is being treated, Imax will not provide further comment at this time, but will provide updates as appropriate.”
