That isn't true Hatch, but they may be expressing some interest...

Bain Capital is nearing an agreement to acquire movie theater company Lowes Cineplex Entertainment Inc., according to the Wall Street Journal. The deal would be valued at approximately $1.5 billion, with Bain leading an investor syndicate that also includes The Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Partners. Lowes currently is owned by Onex Corp. and private equity firm Oaktree Capital Management. www.enjoytheshow.com LINK

HERE is another article from 6/21/04 about Onex selling Loews..

Group Connected To Bush Family Purchases Movie Chain
By Nolan Strong
Date: 6/29/2004 1:20 pm

The Carlyle Group, one company that is the subject of intense scrutiny in Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" is one of three investment firms that now own movie theater chain Loews Cineplex Entertainment.

...

The Carlyle Group was one of three investors in the $1.4 billion transaction. The buyout was led by Bain Capital, an investment firm that was started in 1984 by Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The third investing company is Boston, Massachusetts based Spectrum Equity

Ok, so my article is from 6/21/04 and yours is from 6/29/04. Sometime between this time frame Onex Corp sold loews to Bain Capital, an investor syndicate that also includes The Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Partners. Does this sound correct?
