General DirectorRevenue Unknown Employees ~1000 Website www.multikino.pl Owned by ITI Cinema, Multikino is the second largest multiplex chain in Poland, and has the distinction of opening the nation's first multiplex, which was located in Poznań. Cinema City is Multikino's primary competitor.
The company started its operation in 1995 as joint venture betweet ITI Cinema and British UCI. In 2003 ITI bought UCI shares an is now the only owner of the chain.
As Multikino was the first company to run multiplex cinemas in Poland, the term multikino is often used as a description of multiplex cinema. The situation resembles the one with Sony's Walkman, when it is used as a description for portable MC player, despite it being a registered trademark.
In February 2008 it was announced that Multikino will merge with its second largest rival Silver Screen. Once the transaction is complete, Multikino will operate 19 cinemas with 174 screens in 13 Polish cities and will enter the Ukrainian market. [1]
