Entertainment Cinemas

Entertainment Cinemas is an independent movie theater operator serving communities across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Founded in 1986 by the Berenson family, who bring decades of experience in the cinema industry, the company has established itself as a steady presence in New England’s exhibition landscape. Over the years, Entertainment Cinemas expanded through both new builds and acquisitions, at one point running more than a dozen theaters throughout the region.

As of November 2025, the company maintains a portfolio of eight theaters. These locations include a mix of small-town multiplexes and larger suburban venues, offering first-run Hollywood films and a range of amenities such as digital projection, stadium seating, and expanded concessions. In response to evolving audience expectations and industry trends, Entertainment Cinemas has invested in upgrading its facilities and has introduced features like online ticketing and customer loyalty programs.

During the past five years, the company has focused on enhancing its existing sites and exploring selective redevelopment opportunities within its core markets, rather than pursuing aggressive expansion or new market entries. This measured approach has allowed Entertainment Cinemas to remain adaptable and relevant, while continuing to serve as a dependable anchor in secondary and tertiary retail centers. The company employs between 100 and 250 people across its theaters and corporate office, and remains privately held and family-operated.

Entertainment Cinemas’ long-standing regional focus, willingness to modernize, and flexible site formats make it a credible and stable tenant for landlords and developers seeking experienced partners in New England’s retail and mixed-use environments.
