Premiere Cinemas has been recognized by Boxoffice Magazine as the 25th-largest cinema circuit in North America in its publication of the fifty largest domestic exhibitors.

The magazine released its annual "GIANTS OF EXHIBITION" directory in January which includes theatre circuits operating in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Premiere has steadily moved up the list since first appearing on it in 2001.

"It's an honor to be recognized in this elite group," said Premiere's Vice President Joel Davis at a banquet held at Paris/Ballys in Las Vegas. "Our goal has been to grow selectively with quality projects in under-served markets where we feel we will have a niche. This reflects also a lot of great relationships we've established over the years with developers and Hollywood, and the studios have continued producing quality films driving box office to all-time highs."

Boxoffice Magazine is one of the cinema industry's oldest and most respected watchdog journals. Over 400 cinema companies operate domestically according to the NATO Encyclopedia of Exhibition.
