In the legal equivalent of a feature film being canceled by a technical malfunction during the last preview, theater giant AMC won't be headed to trial Monday to defend claims that it put a regional chain out of business by conspiring with the major studios to get exclusive first-runs of blockbusters.

AMC and Viva Cinemas have agreed to a settlement and have stipulated to dismiss the case with prejudice. So there's no chance of a reboot.

Viva sued in 2015, claiming AMC colluded with Disney, Sony and Universal. The chain, which specialized in dubbed or subtitled films that catered to the Hispanic community, claims its business tanked because it was locked out of showing blockbuster hits like Iron Man.

In August, a Texas federal judge denied AMC's motion for summary judgment, setting the stage for the first jury trial to examine the relationship between studios and theaters since the U.S. Supreme Court took up the issue in 1948.

Viva attorney Michael Hawash confirmed the settlement in a Friday email to The Hollywood Reporter saying, "The parties have reached a mutually agreeable resolution and have no further comment."
