Los Angeles ( February 11, 2019 ) -

Boxoffice, the world’s premier source for information about the global cinema industry and official publication of NATO (National Association of Theatre Owners), has revealed its annual rankings of theater exhibition in the U.S. and Canada, reflecting the impact of consolidation. The Giants of Exhibition is in its 31st year of publication and is available in its entirety at www.boxoffice.com.

Tracking the expansion and shifts in size of all of the theatre chains in the North American market (U.S. and Canada), The Giants of Exhibition reported the same top five as the previous year, with the largest growth among that group coming from Marcus Theatres Corp. The Milwaukee-headquartered circuit recently acquired Movie Tavern from VSS-Southern Theatres, boosting its portfolio by 23%, adding 208 screens and 22 locations. This puts Marcus Theatres over the 1,000-screen mark for the first time. Another mover in the list as a result of consolidation was CMX Cinemas, the Miami-based exhibitor originally from Mexico, which broke into the top ten at number nine. The organic growth comes one year after CMX debuted on the list by opening its first U.S. location and acquiring Cobb Theatres.

A full list of the 2019 Boxoffice Giants of Exhibition is as follows.
