Edwards Theatres Circuit, Inc.
 PROFILE
Which company gives its customers the big picture by keeping them in the dark? Edwards Theatres Circuit. The company owns movie theaters in 90 locations (about 850 screens) across California, Idaho, and Texas, ranking it No. 11 among the nation's theatre chains. It also owns six Imax theaters. A pioneer in the movie industry, the company opened one of the nation's first multiplex theaters in 1939. The late William James Edwards Jr. founded the company in 1930 when he opened his first theater in Monterey Park, California. In the midst of hard times for US theater chains, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2000. The Edwards family still owns and runs the company. Billionaire Phillip Anschutz, who is slowly buying stakes in numerous theater chains, is investing in Edwards.
