Giants in Entertainment Larry H. Miller Megaplex Theatres W hat happens when 182 screens in 16 Megaplex locations deliver an epic experience for fi lm fans? It gets noticed. In its February issue, Boxoffi ce Pro Magazine ranked the Larry H. Miller Megaplex Th eatres chain as No. 29 among the top 50 “giants of fi lm exhibition.” How does Megaplex get in the running with competition like fi rst-place AMC Entertainment, which has over 8,000 screens in 634 locations? It’s all in the Miller magic touch. Megaplex was one of a select few movie theatre chains that hosted movie marathons to really build the experience when the Marvel, Toy Story, and Star Wars franchises featured their new releases. Considering the bottomless MegaTub refi lls, great food, luxury seating, and exclusive community events, entertainment seekers will get a “giant” experience at any Megaplex. Blake Andersen, Megaplex Th eatres president, said, “Considering that we compete with circuits that have hundreds of locations and thousands of screens, it’s nice for Megaplex to be acknowledged as a contender in the movie industry.” ◆ MARCH/APRIL 2020 Employee Anniversaries Miranda Higgins . . . . . . . . . . . .
