Cinemark Holdings, Inc.

Cinemark is a major American movie theater chain based in Plano, Texas, running cinemas across dozens of countries. It screens Hollywood films and offers premium experiences like its own large-format Cinemark XD screens, D-BOX motion seats, and luxury reclining loungers. Founder Lee Roy Mitchell, who got his start running drive-in theaters with his father in Texas, launched the brand in the 1970s and incorporated the company in 1984. The name blends "cinema" and "mark," meant to signal a distinctive place to watch movies.
