Muvico Theaters was a movie theater chain headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[1][2] Muvico had seven complexes in Florida, one in the Chicago metropolitan area (Rosemont), and one in Thousand Oaks, California.[3] Muvico's theaters were known for the use of decorative themes at several theaters, such as the Egyptian, 1950s drive-in, French opera house, Mediterranean palace, and 1920s grand movie palace themes.
Corporate history
Muvico Theaters started in 1984 by Hamid Hashemi, Iranian-born entrepreneur, with the acquisition of the Movie Center 3 theater in Coral Springs, Florida.[4] Between 1985 and 1995, Muvico bought or built eight theaters totaling 59 screens; the California Club Six in North Miami was among these eight theaters. However, in 1995, Muvico sold all of its theaters and three leases, except for the Palm Harbor 10 located in Palm Harbor, Florida
