context: However, even for the non-overlapping period, all plaintiffs and movants rely on a common pattern in their allegations: that defendants' statements to the investing public misrepresented or omitted to state material facts about the financial status of IMAX. Further, these matters share a common legal question: whether defendants' misrepresentations violated federal securities laws. In other words, the actions are all "securities fraud claims that arise from a common course of conduct. The dates on which the misrepresentations occurred do not change their nature."
