AMC, Loews finally merge

Your choices of theater chains just got a little more limited: AMC Entertainment has purchased Loews Cineplex Entertainment, bringing AMC’s total ownership to 415 theaters with 5,672 screens. The merge has been planned for some time: both chains sold a few theaters last year to avoid legal problems with the consolidation. Regal Cinemas is still the largest theater chain in the U.S. but AMC is right behind them.
