Finnkino

Finnkino Oy is a Finnish film distributor and the biggest movie theatre chain in Finland. It was established in 1986 as a union of 34 companies working in the film industry. In 1994 Finnkino was acquired by the Rautakirja Group, which became a division of the SanomaWSOY Group in 1999 [ [http://www.rautakirja.fi/index.cfm?pageid=223 History of the Rautakirja Group] ] . Finnkino operates a total of 18 movie theaters in ten cities. It also has subsidiaries in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

Finnkino's biggest movie theatre multiplex is Tennispalatsi in Helsinki and its headquarters are located in Vantaa.

In 2006, Finnkino took over Finnish theatrical distribution for films by United International Pictures' partner studios, Paramount Pictures (including films by DreamWorks) and Universal Pictures, after UIP decided to move its Finnish distribution base from Buena Vista International, which started distributing UIP's films in Finland in 2002 after UIP shut down its Finnish distribution offices. Finnkino had already distributed these studios' films on video for several years. Finnkino distributed Star Wars when the movie's special edition was released in theaters.
