The first megaplex cinema in the world is considered to be Kinepolis Brussels located near the Atomium in Brussels, Belgium, which opened in 1988 with 25 screens.[2] Kinepolis Madrid in Spain is the largest cinema in the world, with 25 screens and a seating capacity of 9,200.
In 2006, the Claeys family withdrew from the venture, selling most of its 25% stake of shares in the company[3] and transferring daily management to Joost Bert, who, since 2008, shares the position of CEO with Eddy Duquenne.[4]
In September 2017, Kinepolis announced its acquisition of the Canadian cinema chain Landmark Cinemas for CDN$123 million.[5]
Core businesses
The Kinepolis Group consists of seven core businesses; box office, in-theater sales (ITS), business-to-business (B2B), film distribution, screen advertising, real estate, and digital cinema services.[6]
