CMX Cinemas and Star Cinema Grill jointly announced a purchase agreement through which CMX will acquire all of Star Cinema Grill’s 10 existing locations, including two in the Spring and Klein area, according to a March 16 news release. CMX Cinemas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinemex, while Star Cinema Grill is an operator of upscale dine-in movie theaters, mostly in the Greater Houston area.
The acquisition will position CMX Cinemas to become the seventh-largest movie theater chain in the U.S., 51 theaters and 504 screens across 13 states.
