Loews Theatres, founded in 1904 by Marcus Loew, is the oldest theatre chain still operating in North America today. Loews is noted for being the distribution arm and parent company for Hollywood giant Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), until, forced by a 1949 supreme court ruling, the two split in 1954.
Loews Cineplex Entertainment was formed in 1998 with the merger of two theatre circuits, LoewsTheatres and the Cineplex Odeon Corporation, to create one of the largest motion picture exhibition companies in the world.
LoewsTheatres, the oldest theatre circuit in North America, was founded in 1904 by Marcus Loew, whose first “nickelodeon” in a rented store evolved into the LoewsTheatres circuit.
Internationally, the theatre circuit is a partner in Yelmo Cineplex of Spain, De Laurentiis Cineplex of Italy, Odeon Cineplex of Turkey and Far East Cineplex of Vietnam.
