Item 1.01.    Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

        On November 26, 2004, The Marcus Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has signed definitive agreements for the sale of its Miramonte Resort to Lowe Hospitality Investment Partners, LLC (“Lowe Hospitality”). The definitive agreements consist of an Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of October 7, 2004 and two amendments thereto dated as of November 8, 2004 and November 24, 2004, respectively. The Company filed a Form 8-K upon execution of the most recent amendment, rather than the Agreement of Purchase and Sale or the first amendment, because the Agreement of Purchase and Sale allowed Lowe Hospitality to terminate the Agreement of Purchase and Sale if, among other reasons, it was not satisfied with the results of its due diligence investigation. Lowe Hospitality has now waived this and many of the other conditions to closing.

Item 9.01.    Financial Statements and Exhibits.

  (a) Not applicable.

  (b) Not Applicable.

  (c) Exhibits. The following exhibits are being filed herewith:

  (2.2) Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of October 7, 2004, by and among a subsidiary of The Marcus Corporation and Lowe Hospitality Investment Partners, LLC.

  (99.1) Press Release of The Marcus Corporation, dated November 26, 2004, regarding the sale of the Miramonte Resort to Lowe Hospitality Investment Partners, LLC.
