I've wondered how they got around that law ... must be some clever loophole. But why are they the only ones to have pursued it? If anyone can shed some light, it's a subject I've been mildly curious about for some time.

It could be one of two thing. 1. They only show a percentage of Disney product, meaning 10% of the years releases go to another theatre in their district. In my area 10 years ago, we never got Paramount films because in a sneeky odd sort of way Mann is owned by Paramount, from what i understand. For a long time we didn't get Disney because of an "issue" between the studio and UA theatres. Or 2. Its Disney and they let them do what they want. It's money for Hollywood Blvd, Disney, and Pacific Theatres.
El Cap is what I can see and would want happening to other theatres someday.
