History

edit

As BlitzMegaplex

edit

BlitzMegaplex opened its first location in Paris Van Java, Bandung, Indonesia on 16 October 2006. Seven further locations have been built, including Bekasi Cyber Park, which was opened on 3 June 2011. In September 2012, BlitzMegaplex opened its first location outside Java in Plaza Balikpapan. It was also the first location which using brand Blitz Theater, follows with other locations such as Kepri Mall, Harbour Bay, and Grand Galaxy Park.[1]

CJ CGV's involvement

edit

Minority ownership

edit

In 2013, there was a rumor that Korean cinema chain, CJ CGV, supposedly bought BlitzMegaplex shares, something which was denied later on as it was illegal to do so under Indonesian law because the company was still on Indonesia's Daftar Negatif Investasi (DNI) or the negative investment list.[3][4] The evidence pointed on Koreans connected to CJ CGV being on the company's board before its IPO in since 2013.[5]

The company went public in the Indonesia Stock Exchange on 10 April 2014.[6] However, CJ CGV already owned several shares of the company a month before the IPO.[7] In August 2015, it was then rebranded all of its locations into CGV Cinemas.[8] Its first location with the brand CGV Blitz was Miko Mall, Bandung.

As of November 2015, CJ CGV owned about 14% of Blitz.[9]

Majority ownership

edit

In late 2016, CJ CGV increased its share to 51% of the company, thus CJ CGV becoming the majority shareholder of the company.[10] The company underwent another rebrand to its current name, CGV Cinemas, in 2017.[11]

Closed Sites

edit

In 2018, Blitz Theater Grand Galaxy Park was replaced by Flix Cinema, another cinema chain by Agung Sedayu Group.[12] In February 2020, its location in Mall of Indonesia was replaced too by Flix Cinema,[13] as both malls are owned by Agung Sedayu Group, the same company which owns Flix Cinema.[14] Due to COVID-19 pandemic, its location in Kepri Mall is closed until now.[15] And two other locations: Harbour Bay and Daya Grand Square is closed due to both malls have ceased.[16][17]
