Starplex Cinemas was a Dallas-based American movie theater chain which at one point had 34 locations across the United States.[1][2] Showbiz Cinemas acquired the Starplex location in Kingwood, Texas, in 2012. Later, Starplex merged with Showplex Cinemas.[3][4] Starplex was among the major theatres to pull The Interview after threats were made.[5] On July 14, 2015, it was announced that Starplex would be acquired by AMC Theatres[6] with many operating now as AMC Classic as of mid-2017.
