Malco Theatres is one of the oldest and largest family-owned movie theater circuits in the United States, with a deep-rooted presence primarily in the Mid-South. The brand's most popular offerings are tickets to the latest blockbuster films, its classic popcorn and concessions, and its premium viewing formats. As of May 2025, the price for a standard adult evening ticket ranges between $12 and $15, with discounts for matinees, seniors, and children. Premium formats like IMAX have a higher ticket price. The company competes directly with national giants like AMC and Regal, as well as with the convenience of streaming platforms.
The Malco Theatres experience is centered on providing a classic and comfortable movie-going environment. This includes state-of-the-art digital projection and sound, a full-service concession stand offering popcorn, candy, and soft drinks. Many locations have been modernized to include premium amenities such as luxury recliner seating, expanded food menus (hot dogs, pretzels, etc.), and large-format screens like its own MXT 'Malco Xtreme Theatre' and IMAX. The company also offers a loyalty program, Malco Rewards, where members can earn points for free tickets and concessions, and runs promotional discount days.
The history of Malco Theatres dates back to 1915 when M.A. Lightman Sr. opened his first theatre in Newport, Arkansas. The company grew from that single location into a regional powerhouse, surviving the Great Depression, the advent of television, and numerous other industry challenges. Crucially, it has remained family-owned and operated for over a century, now in its fourth generation of leadership. This long history has made Malco a cultural institution in many of the towns it serves, particularly in its home base of Memphis, Tennessee.
With over 30 locations and more than 300 screens across states like Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Missouri, Malco Theatres continues to be a major player in its regional market.
