Movie royalty: Cinema Expo crowns U.K.’s Odeon & UCI Cinemas

Like most royalty, Cinema Expo International Exhibitor of the Year Award honoree Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group-Europe’s leading circuit-has a fine pedigree and rich history. Founded in 1930 by Oscar Deutsch, then acquired by the J Arthur Rank film production and distribution entity in 1941, the original Odeon remained with The Rank Organisation for 58 years more.
