Why isnt Kinepolis Antwerpen on this list?? Second largest cinema in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:982:3678:1:9DA0:7838:F1DF:287C (talk) 20:58, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Largest?
The information about the "31-screens" theater in Brazil is incorrect, as it only has 18. I didn't edit because I am not sure the best approach on how to fix/update that information. 10:21 am, 4 September 2020

Are there any multiplexes with over 30 screens, or is the AMC Ontario Mills (and several other AMC 30s) still the largest? Jpatokal (talk) 03:00, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

30 screens seems to be the maximum number of screens needed to show most new films. many new cinemas are looking to increase the number of seats whilst keeping screen size low. http://cinematreasures.org/screens/ has a list of screen numbers and sizes. not sure how up to date the info is though Waynewol (talk) 00:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

--Milowent (talk) 17:51, 16 November 2009 (UTC) In the section about Canada's largest multiplex, the article mentions that the AMC Yonge & Dundas opened in 2002. It actually didn't open until 2008 - http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/showthread.php/6360-AMC-Yonge-amp-Dundas-opens-at-Toronto-Life-Square?s=976d9ddf3c2608a03aa9b5c2c1487e2f — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.23.68 (talk) 15:28, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
