Cinex
Venezuela's largest cinema exhibition chain.
Last updated August 24, 2026
History
Cinex was created in Venezuela in 1998 through the merger of three cinema businesses: Circuito Radonski, Venefilms, and Grupo Blanco. The merger brought the participating exhibition operations together under the Cinex identity, creating a larger national cinema chain at a time when the Venezuelan market was served by multiple established circuits. Its formation made Cinex a consolidation vehicle for theatrical exhibition rather than a film studio or production label. The company's activities have been focused on operating cinemas and showing films to the public. The available reference material identifies Cinex as Venezuela's largest cinema chain and describes a network of 24 locations in 13 Venezuelan cities. The sources supplied do not identify the individual cities or theaters, and they do not provide operational details such as screen numbers, seating capacity, formats, concession brands, or annual attendance. Accordingly, the documented history is primarily one of corporate formation and network development. A significant ownership and partnership change occurred at the end of 2011, when Circuito Radonski was sold. Following that transaction, Evenpro joined Cinex as a new partner. Evenpro later acquired the theaters belonging to Cinematográfica Blancica, the exhibition company associated with Grupo Blanco. This succession of transactions connected Cinex with additional theater assets and reflected the continuing reorganization of Venezuela's cinema-exhibition sector. The supplied sources do not establish the identity of Cinex's founder, current owner, board, chief executive, or other executives. They also do not provide a detailed chronology of venue openings, technology upgrades, programming initiatives, financial results, or international expansion. The available record nevertheless supports a clear account of Cinex as a Venezuelan cinema operator formed by merger in 1998, subsequently reshaped by the 2011 sale of Circuito Radonski and Evenpro's entrance, and operating a substantial multi-city theater network.
