Vieshow Cinemas is a Taiwanese cinema chain and the largest cinema chain in Taiwan. There are currently 19 locations in total: 4 in New Taipei City, 3 each in Taipei City, Taichung City, and Tainan City, 2 in Hsinchu City, and 1 each in Taoyuan City, Miaoli County, Kaohsiung City, and Hualien County, with a total of 201 screens.[1] [2]
The company was originally called Warner Village Roadshow Cinemas, which operated in Taiwan from 1998 to 2004. It was a joint venture between Warner Bros. from the United States and Village Roadshow from Australia. Later, due to the joint divestment of Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow, four Taiwanese and Hong Kong companies, including Hong Kong Orange Sky Golden Harvest and CMC Magnetics, took over the operation and changed the company to the current name.[3]
Vieshow Cinemas has 19 cinemas and 201 screens in Taiwan currently.[4]
