Cinemark operates theaters under several brands, including its flagship Cinemark, Century Theatres, Tinseltown USA, CinéArts, and Rave Cinemas. Cinemark was founded in 1984 by Lee Roy Mitchell as a chain of theatres in Texas, Utah, and California.

Cinemark purchased Century Theatres with a combination of cash and stock bonds. The acquisition added over 80 theaters and many more screens. Some of these theaters were subsequently shut down --either being phased out as under performing or replaced with new complexes.

Regal

Regal Entertainment Group is known as Regal Cinemas, locally, and was established in 1989 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Regal grew at a rapid pace, opening larger cinemas in suburban areas. Many of these contained a "premium" café (later called Cafe Del Moro) and a more upscale look than theaters of the time.

Regal Entertainment Group has three theater brands -- Regal Cinemas, Edwards Theatres, and United Artists Theatres.

IMAX

The IMAX Corporation is a Canadian theater company which designs and manufactures IMAX cameras and projection systems as well as performing film development, production, post production and distribution to IMAX affiliated theatres worldwide.

IMAX theatres are described as either "Classic Design" (purpose-built structures), or "Multiplex Design" (retrofitted auditoriums). Classic IMAX theatre construction differs significantly from conventional theatres. The increased resolution allows the audience to be much closer to the screen; typically all rows are within one screen height; conventional theatre seating runs 8 to 12 screen heights. Also, the rows of seats are set at a steep angle (up to 30° in some domed theatres) so that the audience is facing the screen directly
