Santikos Companies Revenue and Competitors

SANTIKOS THEATRES-- A Texas Entertainment Legacy Greek entrepreneur Louis Santikos could not have known that when he founded a movie theatre in San Antonio in 1911, he was launching an entertainment legacy in Texas. More than ninety years later, the Santikos name is synonymous with the movie industry. From humble beginnings, to the celebrated opening of its $35 million Palladium IMAX Theatre built in honor of the family's Greek heritage, the Santikos family has earned a reputation as pioneers in the motion picture industry. Following in his father's footsteps, John Santikos joined the family movie business after graduating from St. Mary’s University. Under his leadership the company expanded considerably, adding eight new theatres to the Santikos roster, including the firm's first theatre built outside of San Antonio, the Silverado IMAX in Houston. John Santikos remains at the helm of the business today, heading up the largest family-owned theatre circuit in Texas. Over the years, Santikos Theatres has established a well-deserved reputation for bringing the “latest and greatest” in cinema technology to San Antonio. From the first drive-in theatres and multi-plex indoor theatres, to THX and digital sound technology, Santikos Theatres leads the way in innovation. More recent additions include 3D presentation, Hollywood IMAX films, HD digital projection, in-theatre dining and the city’s only art-house. Santikos theatre patrons enjoy Red Carpet premiers and exclusive showings of concerts and special attractions.
