Showcase Cinemas is a movie theater chain owned and operated by Harbor Lights Entertainment, a subsidiary of Paramount Skydance. It operates in the United States, Brazil (under the UCI Cinemas brand), the United Kingdom, and Argentina.[1]
Operations
[edit]Showcase operates a total of 13 theaters in the United States: seven in the Greater Boston area within Massachusetts; one in Rhode Island; four 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 eight theaters in Argentina,[5] 29 in Brazil,[6] and 16 in the United Kingdom.[7][8]
On June 11, 2026, Paramount Skydance announced it would be selling all American locations owned by Harbor Lights Entertainment (formerly National Amusements) to Belgian-based theater operator Kinepolis. The deal is expected to close by late summer 2026.[9] Paramount Skydance would retain ownership of Showcase internationally for the time being, but they expect to sell it.
