The film distributor Constantin Film Holding GmbH was founded in Austria
in 1951. A second mainstay was created at the end of the 1960's in the segment
of cine operations. In this segment, 25 traditional cinemas and cinema centres
were operated until the beginning of the 1990's and, following a structural
change, the Cineplexx Cine Operations GmbH, a subsidiary company of the
Constantin Film Holding GmbH, was founded in 1993. The business developed
during a time when many traditional cinemas in Austria were disappearing and
multiplex movie theatres were conquering the market. Constantin Film reacted to
this trend by establishing a group of 19 cinemas and 153 screens in Austria.
Additionally, traditional movie theatres with up to 18 halls existed. In 2009, the Cineplexx INTERNATIONAL GmbH started expanding to Austria's
neighbouring countries and the first cinema outside Austria was opened in
Bolzano, South Tyrol. Cineplexx also took over a cinema in Zagreb’s city
centre, thus laying the foundation for expansion into Croatia. Further
Cineplexx cinemas followed since 2011 in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and
Macedonia. In 2013 Cineplexx established its first five multiplex movie
theatres in Slovenia and the first seven-hall cinema in Albania. In Spring 2014
Cineplexx opened the biggest cinema in Serbia (Usce Shopping Center, Belgrade,
with 11 halls and over 2.000 seats). The last expansion took place in March
2018 with the opening of Cineplexx Parndorf in Austria. Today, Cineplexx has a
strong market presence with 44 multiplexes and six traditional locations in
Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo,
Greece and Italy, offering more than 300 screens. In 2017, the company’s
working force included 1,500 employees, the overall turnover amounted to 140
million euros and the number of Cineplexx visitors reached 12,0 million. More
