The focus is on Midway’s corporate headquarters in Chicago where many senior executives, including Chief Executive Matthew Booty, are being let go. Still open to studio bids.
Warner Bros deal with Midway to acquire studios and assets didn’t include Midway Newcastle, which has since shut down, or Midway San Diego. Bids for the Californian studio team are still open with US labour laws the only thing keep it running for the time being.
