AMC theatres have been providing moviegoers with relaxed and enjoyable moviegoing experiences for over a century. This firm built a reputation for itself in the industry, eventually becoming the world’s largest movie theater chain. Even though the letters stand for American Multi-Cinema, the fact is that from 2012 to 2018, the primary shareholder was a Chinese firm called Dalian Wanda Group. This changed in 2018 when Silver Lake Partners purchased a $600 million interest in the company. Despite this, Wanda Group continues to have the last say in executive-level decisions.

Some people believe that it doesn’t get any more American than this when it comes to beers. It may have been true in the past, but the fact is that, despite being found in Missouri and continuing to state “America” on the container, this is no longer an American corporation. This firm was purchased for $52 billion by InBev, a Belgian beer conglomerate, in 2008. We can claim it has an American past, but we can’t say the same about its future. In any case, we’re relieved that the parent firm didn’t make any changes to the formula. It tastes just as it did before!
