BTM Cinemas (formerly known as Bow Tie Cinemas) is an American movie theater chain, with eight locations in Colorado, New York, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.[1][2] It is the oldest surviving movie exhibition company in the United States, having been founded in 1900.[3] As of 2013, it was the eighth-largest movie theater chain in the United States, when it operated 63 multiplexes across the East Coast states. Since then, many former locations have been sold to AMC or other competitors, with only eight venues remaining as of September 2024.
BTM Cinemas has been family-owned for four generations. The company was established by Benjamin S. Moss (1878–1951) who opened nickelodeon venues, then shifted to Vaudeville venues, before settling on movie theaters.
