Coca-Cola has launched legal action against Vue after the cinema chain replaced it with PepsiCo across Europe.
The lawsuit seeks to recover alleged unpaid debts following the end of a near 25-year supply relationship.
Vue, which operates more than 90 cinemas in the UK and Ireland, switched to PepsiCo last year.
PepsiCo’s deal runs until at least 2030 and covers Vue’s 222 sites across eight countries.
Vue’s founder Tim Richards criticised the legal move, saying the dispute could have been resolved informally.
Vue said the claim involved under £100,000 and confirmed all disputed amounts are now settled.
