    Movie Theatre Chains Around Los Angeles Best answer on the web
    Filed under: tarareidtopless.com
  • I need help creating a list of movie theater chains with screens in OR
    near ANY of the following cities:
    Inglewood CA
    San Bernadino CA
    Riverside CA
    Here's what I need on each chain:
    # of screens near each of the above three cities
    contact info for company
    is it owned by a parent company?
    worldwide screens of company and (if applicable) parent company

    Please read the above carefully... the screens don't have to be in the
    above three cities, just near enough to go to the movies! They also
    DON'T have to be near all the cities... just any one of them!

    Go to it googlers!


  • Hello thinksmile -

    Questions of $100 or more are actually locked for 8 hours. A question can take a lot more time than that, so a researcher might relock it frequently. Also, at this time, this question is not locked, but that might not mean a researcher isn't working on it.
    If this particular question necessitates creating a manual list, it would be difficult for a researcher to justify doing it at $100. There are 445 theatres in Inglewood alone. Amassing a list of the theatres and their contact information is doable manually. But finding out if each is owned by a parent company as well as additional data on worldwide screens of each company and (if applicable) parent company is a different animal of a question.
    To tackle this by seeking out sources that have databases of theatres, it may require contacting companies that aren't open on a weekend .

  • Hi I am new to google answers... If my question is locked, is someone working on it? I thought it could only be locked for 4 hours?
    Anybody out there reading this? :)


  • Hello there

    Major theater chains doing business in Southern California are:
    AMC Theaters
    Century Theaters
    Cinemark
    CinemaStar Luxury Theaters
    Krikorian Theatres
    Laemmle Theatres
    Landmark Theaters
    Loews Cineplex Entertainment
    Magic Johnson Theatres
    Mann Theatres
    Regal Cinemas

    I will use the Los Angeles metro area as that is the way they are listed. Most anyplace in the city or nearby is fairly convenient for residents of Inglewood. For the other locations, you will find that many individual theaters are listed as part of a larger region but still fairly close. For example two of the cities you are asking about are part of the Inland Empire, so lists which include that section of Southern California will have what you are looking for. Some lists will include both regions. Number of screens is listed by theater. Some theaters have more than one screen but do not list the number. So, what we will be doing in some cases is getting a rough, but fairly close estimate and for others accurate totals, including national and world totals.
    AMC Theaters
    AMC South Bay Galleria 16 - Redondo Beach

    Loews - - - Here we will be getting into parent companies of parent companies and a jolly good spaghetti tangle of who owns what, and do they really?
    I am going to quote part of their history so you will have an idea of what I mean.
    "In 1985, Loews Corporation sold its 350 screen circuit to a privately held company. Soon after, the theatre chain was purchased by Tri-Star Pictures which in turn merged with the Entertainment Business Sector of Coca Cola, forming Columbia Pictures Entertainment. It was during this time that Loews Theatres experienced its greatest growth, acquiring four regional theatre circuits and building many new multiplexes, more than doubling in size to almost 1000 screens. In 1989, Coca Cola sold Columbia Pictures Entertainment to Sony Corporation of America.
    Cineplex Odeon Corporation was founded in 1979 with the opening of its first theatre complex, a 21 screen megaplex at Toronto's Eaton Centre. Throughout the 1980's, the company expanded through new construction and through acquisitions of regional theatre circuits in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Washington DC and Seattle.
    Cineplex Odeon Cineplex Odeon Corporation was merged with Loews Theatres in May 1998, creating Loews Cineplex Entertainment, one of the world's largest motion picture theatrical exhibition companies.
    In March 2002, a restructured Loews Cineplex Entertainment was acquired by Onex Corporation, Canada's fourth largest company with global operations in the service, manufacturing and technology industries, and Oaktree Capital Management, a premier institutional money management firm with over $20 billion in assets. In June 2002, Onex and Oaktree added Grupo Cinemex, S.A. de C.V., the largest exhbition company in the Mexico City metropolitan area, to the Loews Cineplex Entertainment group." - quote from Loews Corporate Information http://www.loewscineplex.com/corpinfo/aboutus.html

    In the US, Loews has 131 locations and 1,306 screens.
    In Canada 583 screens
    Mexico 371 screens
    Korea 48 screens
    Spain 263 screens

    Loews theaters are listed simply by country and state with no breakdown by city.
    Since you are interested in the number of screens a company owns worldwide, another chain owned by Loews, though not in the Southern California area, is Star Theaters in Michigan with a total of 156 screens. http://www.startheatres.com/theatres/star.cfm

    Not all information could be found for every chain due to corporate policy or family ownership. Yet other chains provide everything from online financial reports to current stock quotes for their companies.
    I'm also glad you didn't do your own research with the The National Association of Theatre Owners. Some theaters in some chains are also franchises and may be listed as individual theaters and individual owners rather than chain operations.

  • It looks like this question got locked up quick!

    For bonus points: Can you give me any information on the financial position of the companies you find?
    If anybody understands the economics of the movie theater business I'd be interested in their comments. I understand that when you buy a movie ticket, about 60-80% goes to the studio, and only 20% goes to the movie theatre chain company. If you happen to know a lot about the economics of this business, or can suggest a link that breaks it down, that would be great.
    There was a flurry of bankruptcies in the industry as it transitioned to new screen formats and overbuilt... But does that necessarily mean these companies aren't making money? Perhaps they just needed to get out of leases on outdated theaters... (sorry about the ruminating!)


  • We are a for-profit company, so the discounts would be based on bulk purchase more than "good cause."
    Also: I've noticed the movie theater corporations are kind of snotty... It surprised me that they aren't more interested in our business, as we may purchase $100,000 plus worth of movie tickets.
    This may be because, per the clarifier below, most of the

  • pretty amazing once you guys get going

    I want to make sure that this is a complete list of the chains, as I am most interested in the medium sized, perhaps even small, chains... I understand there may even be a franchisee that owns say a 10 theater franchise?
    Also, I am not totally clear why you don't think it would be helpful to contact NATO.
    Excellent job so far!


  • I will give it my best shot. How much in a hurry are you for this? To do this right, in the detail you want, will involve some emails and a wait for response as well as the online, and other research. I have a feeling we are going to find a lot of crossover ownership as we get into smaller theater units. Those will have to be untangled to find acceptable contacts. It may take a few days.
    I'm also finding it interesting. I used to be a patron of some of those theaters when I lived in LA.
    I will consider any business that owns two or more theaters a "chain." That should get us closer to what you are looking for.
    cheers

  • Hi there - it looks like somebody gave you a good comment about ticket prices and how they work.
    As for the company to contacted me, they asked not to have their name used and if already in a general list, not to have it pointed out. Under the rules we work with, I have to honor that. There have been other answers removed because a person or company did not want their name or contact information published in public format.
    As for the "tricks of the trade," there are non. So I'm not like a magician. - - I make use of websites, libraries, email and snailmail, and online databases that do not require a subscription fee.
    Now that you have told me why you are looking for the information, Maybe I could take off in a direction which would narrow that down and eliminate those chains which would not participate in such a program.
    I worked for the Los Angeles, Orange County chapter of the Easter Seal Society in the early 90s before I moved back east. One of my responsibilities was "in kind" donations. Some theater chains may be approached on that basis depending on what your organization is. There is a possibility of not only discounts, but perhaps even outright donations. Your organization would have to be one that the donations or discounts from the chains would be tax deductions for them as well as good publicity if you wanted to take it that direction.
    I will also jump back on some of the chains I already have information on above and ask about discount bulk ticket sales as student awards. I will do as much of it by email as possible. Since most theaters earn most of their profit from concession sales, it could be even put to them on that basis. That is, you can get the kids in the door and the theater can sell them the food. I've never met a kid yet that wasn't always hungry.
    Just an idea - - if your organization is one that is recognized and would be able to allow a theater chain to claim giving you freebies or discounts as a deduction, let me know what it is in here. A lot of people read these answers. Who knows, by this time some theater management types might even be following this question to see where it will all lead and be ready to jump on the bandwagon. Stranger things have happened in the past.

  • this response given to remove clarification wanted flag :)


  • I did find this:

    "Pacific Theatres operates 400 screens at locations in CA and HI. The theaters occupy spaces of 50,000 sq.ft. in freestanding locations, malls and tourist centers. Plans call 10 theater openings during the coming 18 months. Expansion will take place in the existing markets."
    For more information: Neil Haltrecht, Pacific Theatres, 120 N. Robertson Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90048; 310-855-8453, Fax 310-652-8538.
    In conjunction with the theater listing you have found, it might help. I would presume this is the list: http://www.pacifictheatres.com/


  • What company fedexed that letter?

    Sorry to post a clarify instead of a comment but my comments don't always get a response :)


  • Ok, I've come up with a couple of items:

    1) there is a previous question answer that was kind of interesting--it suggested a zapdata search
    2) The national association of theatre owners has a website... perhaps I could contact the california branch (contact # is listed) for more information
    Seems silly I am doing my own research though :)


  • Its good to know someone is out there!

    To clarify: There are no movie theaters in Inglewood. You say 445? Where did you get that?
    Also, I am interested in the chains, not the individual theatres anyway. For example, I need contact information for Pacific Theaters Corporation, not each of its 55 theaters (which are listed on its website.)
    If someone can give me even a partial answer for $100 that would be fine... just note which aspects of the question are too much work for $100.
    Someone must have locked it up and given up, eh?


  • Digs,

    I hope this is fair to ask, but can you tell which chains have theaters that are close to BOTH Inglewood AND San Bernardino? Not the same theater, any theater in the chain.
    Let me know if this is mission drift. :)

    Also, I am still nervous that we might be missing some of the smaller chains, which are the ones I am most interested in. Even if they are franchisees.


  • I'm working on as much of this as is possible. I'm just posting this to take down the clarification flag.
    If you would use the comments section for conversational exchange, I will check on it frequently.
    When the clarification flag does up, it often calls down the Great Goog, who is often seen vacationing with the Great Pumpkin in Great Falls.
    I just had to do that :)

  • First snailmail response arrived yesterday, by Fedex no less. They stated they are a family owned business and the only information they choose to release is that which is already public through NATO. If I need additional information, to contact the state of California. They also expressed displeasure at having their name "bandied about in some online forum." That seemed rather odd since I did not identify myself as being a Google researcher.
    digs


  • As you read through the above, I am still searching for information about Pacific Theaters Development Group. There are bits and pieces including the list of theaters you found. But what I'm running into is that the basic information about the company is locked behind subscription websites, including that of "Variety." I need to find the relationship between Pacific Theatres Development Group, Pacific Theatres Realty Group and Pacific Theatres' Consolidated Amusement Co. When I get that tangle unwound, we may get to the information about those particular theaters, screen numbers, finances, etc.
    I hate leaving gaps.
    digs


  • Alright, I will work on that overnight. The reason I mentioned NATO is that confusion may result from double listings. A theater may be listed as part of a chain then listed again under the franchisee owner, even as a secondary small chain. Unless we had fantastic memories or an instantly referable list, the count could be skewed far out of line.
    cheers

  • Apparently no one is reading my question so I am going to try raising the price!
    I am new so if anyone can advise me on how much I need to pay to get this question answered please do!
    (I have already read google guidelines.)


  • Yes, i'm just also interested in which theatres are public.


  • digs you da man (?) !


  • Thought you might be interested in a progress report.

    We will have to take this thing in stages. First of all here are all the theatre chains which have public information available. Many smaller chains not listed here are family owned and provide no information other than is what required by law to their various state regulatory agencies. While such information is available to the public, it would involve a trip to visit the agency in person or obtained through a paid subscription service. So regardless of how detailed we try to be, there will be gaps. Most of the subscription databases I have checked have subscription rates in the hundreds of dollars or higher.
    Here are the ones I have found information about. I have included them all as whatever project you are working on may expand in the future to where you might need the information. I figured since I had it available, you may want to put it away for future possible use. Basic contact information is provided for each plus total screen count and states where located. I have asterisked * those which have a California presence.
    Then I will continue the breakdown from there. You have asked an interesting question which is giving my researching capabilities a workout. I love it. - - - Also, do you read Spanish? Some chains are for Latino patronage and their website information is also in Spanish. I have no idea what is there. If you do, I will pass the links along to you.
    You will find research notes along with the listings.

    This brings some changes to the original answer. Mann theatres was listed as having a total of a 129 screens including California and Colorado. With the merger, there are now 371. But don't count on it. Just yesterday, Cinamerica Theatres announced that it is selling 16 theaters and 60 screens to Carmike. No announcement yet as to where the screens are located but the count will change soon. and of course, Carmike is one I will now have to chase down.

  • Digs how is it going?

    I have done a bit of fishing, and it seems only 3 movie theater chains are still publicly traded on the major exchanges... the rest of those edgar filings seem to be for bankruptcies, delistings, etc.


  • I'll see what I can find out. But it seems the theaters are mostly still open so they would still count as screens.
