Empire Cinemas Limited (commonly referred to as Empire Cinemas) began as a London cinema that was opened in 1884. Featuring variety shows on the west end the company became a cinema a larger chain in 2005. Their expansion was a direct result of the limiting of competitors when the United Kingdom Office of Fair Trading required two different chains were required to sell some of their locations. The acquisition led to Empire being renamed and rebranded Empire Cinemas and today they have 16 active theaters throughout the United Kingdoms with a total of 164 screens. Though most are attracted by the low Empire price, many still visit the original Empire location since it is often chosen to host film premiers.
