## Company history

AMC traces its origins to 1920, when the Dubinsky brothers began operating a single-screen theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. The company later introduced multiplex theatres in the 1960s and stadium-seated megaplexes in the 1990s, helping shape the modern cinema-going format. [3](https://investor.amctheatres.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/320/amc-theatres-reopens-its-doors-on-august-20-by-celebrating-100-years-of-operations-with-movies-in-2020-at-1920-prices) [18](https://pendergastkc.org/articles/dubinsky-brothers) [19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P110106748)

A series of acquisitions expanded AMC’s circuit: it completed its merger with Loews Cineplex in 2006 and acquired Kerasotes in 2010. Wanda acquired AMC in 2012, and AMC completed its initial public offering in 2013. [20](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/722077/000110465906004454/a06-3716_3ex99d1.htm) [21](https://investor.amctheatres.com/sec-filings/all-sec-filings/content/0001047469-10-007715/a2199419zs-1a.htm) [22](https://www.wanda-group.com/2012/latest_0905/6871.html) [23](https://investor.amctheatres.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/314/amc-entertainment-holdings-inc-announces-closing-of-its-initial-public-offering-and-exercise-in-full-of-option-to-purchase-additional-shares)

AMC continued expanding in 2015–17 with the acquisitions of Starplex Cinemas, Europe’s Odeon & UCI circuit, Carmike Cinemas, and Nordic Cinema Group. Adam Aron became CEO and President in January 2016 and was appointed Chairman in 2021.
