Cineplexx is a cinema company based in Vienna, Austria, owned by Constantin Film-Foundation. The company was founded in 1993, and operates mainly in Austria where it is the largest cinema chain with 28 locations, mostly multiplex cinemas under the Cineplexx brand. The company started international expansion in 2009 and operated 61 multiplexes in 12 countries as of 2021.

History Cineplexx Kinobetriebe GmbH was founded in 1993 as a joint venture between Constantin Film-Holding GmbH and Vienna's own cinema and event companies (KIBA / Wiener Stadthalle and Wiener Holding AG). The city of Vienna withdrew and sold its shares to Constantin Film-Holding GmbH in spring 1999. Constantin Film-Holding GmbH and Cineplexx Kinobetriebe GmbH are wholly owned by the Langhammer family.

The first Cineplexx cinema was opened on October 31, 1996 in Graz. It was after the Apollo Cinema reopened in December 1993 by Cineinvest, a subsidiary of Constantin Film Holding and Kiba. The largest Cineplexx which was built in November 1999 on the Danube plate, in Reichsbrücke, included 13 halls and 3,400 seats but was closed in 2011.

In March 2001 Cineplexx bought from Loews a cinema in Auhof and in December 2002 the cinema in the Vienna Twin Tower from the German Cinestar. In 2004, Constantin Film Group also took over the multiplex cinema in the Donauzentrum, the Donauplex.

Since 2009 Cineplexx has expanded in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.

On May 12, 2009, the first Cineplexx cinema outside Austria was opened in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy with 7 screens. Cineplexx acquired Ster Cinemas of Greece in 2011.

In January 2019, Cineplexx bought the three cinemas of the UCI chain in Austria from Odeon.

Cineplexx expanded in Romania in April 2019 after it bought one of the largest multiplexes in Bucharest, Grand Cinema, refurbishing it and changing the name into Cineplexx Baneasa. Three months later Cineplexx took over Cine Globe multiplex in Titan, also in Bucharest, and rebranded it as Cineplexx. In September 2019 a multiplex was opened in Satu Mare. Cineplexx continued to expand with a multiplex in Sibiu in February 2020, in Târgu Mureș in September 2020, and others planned in Craiova and Iași.

The latest addition is the new Cineplexx in Sarajevo with eight cinema halls totaling 1,400 seats, which opened in June 2021 and also serves as a major venue for the annual Sarajevo Film Festival.

Projects under construction were a 4-screen cinema in the ALGO Shopping Center in Algund, near Merano, which was to be opened in summer 2021. Furthermore, the 9-screen cinema at Belgrade Waterfront, which was already open to the public and hosted Serbia's first IMAX, was to be finished in September 2021. Cineplexx's first cinema in Slovenia's capital city Ljubljana with 7 halls and 1400 seats opened in spring 2022 at Supernova Shopping Center in Rudnik.
