MJR Theatres was created in 1980 by Mike Mihalich with the acquisition of Main Theatre (sold in 1997 and now known as the Main Art Theatre) in Royal Oak, Michigan. The name MJR was taken from their original slogan Movies Just Right. During the 1980s and 1990s, the company purchased several theaters and drive-ins in Michigan. Following their acquisitions, the company started building their own multiplex cinemas, with the first opening in Adrian, Michigan in 1990. In order to finance the new cinemas, MJR sold some of its existing theaters and drive-ins.
During the 1990s, Luna Enterprises purchased an interest in the chain.
In 2014, MJR created its own PLF (Premium Large Format) named The EPIC Experience by combining Dolby Atmos and a 4K projector from Christie.[2]
In 2019, the chain was acquired for $152.25 million by the Belgium-based Kinepolis Group, a cinema chain with theaters in Europe and North America. With the acquisition, the group entered the US market.[3]
