United Cinemas has a history of being founded in the UK by Hollywood majors Paramount and Universal in 1985 and starting as a Japan branch of a chain store that has expanded around the world, including Europe. Currently, it is managed with the capital unique to each country.　The expansion in Japan has expanded every year from the first store that opened in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture in 1996.IMAX has 8 screens, ScreenX has 3 screens, 4DX has the largest number of 21 screens in Japan, 1 screen for the first dining cinema in Japan, and also operates art screens and animation screens. At our movie theaters, we think about the concept for each store and change the design. That is because there is an idea that a movie theater should be built that meets the needs of the local people and the concept of commercial facilities.
