Fusion Superplex, a movie theatre and entertainment complex in Nassau, says a March cyber attack has cost it about US$3 million in projected lost revenue and contributed to late pay for its staff. Company executives were due to meet the Bahamas Department of Labour, the government labour office, on Friday 6 November 2026 to discuss the payroll problems.
The Bahamian dollar is fixed one-to-one to the US dollar, so the company’s dollar figures are also US$ figures. Fusion has not said how many workers are affected.
Key Facts
- Who. Fusion Superplex, a movie and entertainment complex on Gladstone Road in Nassau, the Bahamian capital.
- What. Fusion says a March 2026 cyber attack disabled ticketing, checkout and premium theatre systems.
- Cost. The company estimates about US$3 million in projected lost revenue so far.
- Pay. Staff are paid every two weeks; complaints of late pay surfaced in October 2026.
- Next. Executives were due to meet the Bahamian labour department on Friday 6 November.
Fusion says its priority is bringing every employee fully up to date on pay. It also says the attack was not a minor disruption.
What the Cyber Attack Broke
The attack disabled core systems, including ticketing, point-of-sale (checkout) and premium theatre technology. By 6 November the online ticketing platform and the arcade systems were still offline, the company said.
Fusion co-founder Tecoyo Bridgewater said: “This was not a minor disruption.” Ransomware-tracking sites list it as a ransomware attack, in which criminals lock company files and demand payment, and Fusion has also referred to ransomware.
Why Staff Were Paid Late
Employees are paid every two weeks, and complaints about late pay first surfaced in October 2026. Fusion has acknowledged delays in recent months and says it regrets the hardship for staff and their families.
Bridgewater said money owed to Fusion is a major factor in the payroll problems, and that the company has lost a number of team members. He added that September and October are normally the slowest months for the sector.
He expects attendance to rise in the final quarter of the year, helped by new film releases. That outlook is the company’s own, not an independent forecast.
What It Means for You
Visitors planning a cinema or arcade night in Nassau should check whether online ticketing is working, since the platform was still offline on 6 November. Business readers get a reminder that a cyber attack in March was still disrupting a business’s ticketing in November.
