Operations

edit

Showcase operates a total of 18 theaters in the United States: ten in the Greater Boston area within Massachusetts, and a further two in Rhode Island; five in the New York City suburbs;[2][3] and one in Springdale, Ohio. These theaters operate under the brands Showcase Cinemas, Cinema de Lux, and (in the sole case of Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts) Showcase SuperLux.[4] Several now-shuttered locations in New York City formerly operated under the name Multiplex Cinemas.[2] The Cinema de Lux brand was established in 2008 to denote locations that offered in-theater dining options and full bars with seat delivery service. All locations are wheelchair accessible and offer assistance devices for hearing- and sight-impaired customers.[1]

Internationally, Showcase operates 8 theaters in Argentina,[5] 29 in Brazil,[6] and 16 in the United Kingdom.[7][8]
