F21 OpCo, LLC, the company and licensee of the brand in the U.S., filed a Chapter 11 case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Although stores will remain open for now, Forever 21, which is headquartered in Los Angeles, said it will hold liquidation sales at its U.S. stores.

Forever 21's U.S. retail operator plans liquidation sales after filing Chapter 11 for the second time in six years.

U.S. film producer Village Roadshow Entertainment Group is “open to all bids” for a film library that includes rights to well-known movies like The Matrix, Ocean’s Eleven, and The Joker, a company attorney said on Tuesday at a court hearing a day after filing for bankruptcy.

Village Roadshow blames its troubles on a fall-out with Warner Bros and a failed move into independent film production.
