AMC Entertainment is a US holding company that operates the world’s largest cinema chain through its subsidiary, AMC Theatres. It was founded in 1920 in Kansas City, Missouri by Maurice, Edward, and Barney Dubinsky (as the Dubinsky Bros). The company changed its name several times throughout its development before being renamed American Multi-Cinema in 1961. It has headquarters in Leawood, Kansas. What started as a small, family-run business went on to become the world’s first multiplex cinema chain, serving over 200 million customers across 380 locations per year. Between 2012 and 2018, Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group owned a majority stake in AMC, although this has since been diluted due to fresh financing from the business itself and investment from other firms.
