Revenue for the Chatsworth-based movie distribution company was also down 3.8 percent to $22.8 million, which Image Chief Executive Martin Greenwald attributed to “two bankruptcy filings and closures of two significant Image customers, Musicland in January and Tower Records in August.”

Fees associated with the closures and Lions Gate Entertainment Inc.’s constant attempts to buy the company also cost more than $1 million.
