Alamo Drafthouse Cinema builds the ultimate movie-going experience by combining first-run films with chef-driven cuisine and craft beer, all served directly to theater seats. Founded in Austin, Texas in 1997 by Tim and Karrie League, the company pioneered the dine-in theater concept and has grown to 35+ locations across the United States. The chain is famous for its strict no-talking policy, zero-tolerance approach to disruptions, and curated programming that includes everything from blockbuster releases to obscure cult classics.
The company operates with a mission to ensure every guest and teammate has an awesome experience and is excited to come back. In 2024, Sony Pictures Entertainment acquired Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, making it the first major studio to own a cinema chain in over 75 years. Beyond exhibition, Alamo operates Drafthouse Films, a curated distribution brand for provocative and artfully unusual films from around the world.
