}}SPI Cinemas is an Indian multiplex chain and film production company owned by the SPI Group, headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The company began operating multiplexes in Chennai, and eventually expanded to several states in India. SPI is often lauded for its premium quality and inexpensive pricing.[1][2] Its theatres, primarily Sathyam Cinemas, are often used by filmmakers for film premieres and audio launch events.[3] Popcorn served at SPI Cinemas has received considerable praise from film goers and the media.[4]

SPI is notable for being the first multiplex operator in India to equip its screens with the Dolby Atmos and Auro 11.1 sound systems.[5][6]

History

Sathyam Cinemas was originally named the "Royal Theatre Complex" and was built by Raja from Venkatagiri in April 1974.[7][8] With a capacity of 1,255 seats, it was the largest multiplex built in Chennai at the time.[9]

Kiran Reddy, the current CEO of SPI Group, revealed in a 2012 interview with The Hindu that Sathyam Cinemas was acquired by his family "from someone" in the 1980s. It was acquired for real estate purposes with no intention of continuing the theatre business. He claimed, "The intent was to demolish the Sathyam building. The theatre wasn't a viable business if you looked at the value of the land." However, when he got involved in the business, the family had made several improvements to the theatre.[10] Reddy had taken over the business in 1999 and continued developing the theatre, adding three more screens and refurbishing the existing three.[11]

In 2009, SPI Cinemas established itself as a film production company, producing its first film, Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru.[12] SPI Cinemas is one of the key movie distributors in Tamil Nadu and has forayed into the music business with Think Music to distribute Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam movie soundtracks via digital media and Purplenote to distribute non-movie contemporary music.[13]

Future

In June 2017, Swaroop Reddy, President, SPI Cinemas, said that the company is looking to strengthen its presence in the South with new launches planned in Puducherry, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Mumbai in the next 9-12 months. It is also looking to grow beyond metros and will look at tier-II cities in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. “We see strong movie-going population in these regions,” Reddy said. Places under consideration are Guntur, Tirupati, Nizamabad, Madurai, Salem, Tiruchi and Vellore. The company already has presence in Coimbatore and Warangal.[14][15]

Proposed acquisition

In August 2018, PVR Cinemas announced its intention to acquire SPI Cinemas for over {{INRConvert|850|c}} in a cash-and-stock deal.[15]
