Finnkino Oy, Turku

Finnkino Oy is the largest cinema chain in Finland and a major film distributor in the region. Founded in 1986, Finnkino emerged as a union of 34 companies within the film industry. Over the years, it expanded its operations, becoming a key player in the Finnish cinema market. In 1994, the company was acquired by the Rautakirja Group, which later became part of the Sanoma Group in 1999.

Finnkino operates 16 cinemas across 11 cities in Finland and has extended its reach into Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia through subsidiaries operating under the name Forum Cinemas and Forum Distribution. The company's largest cinema complex is Tennispalatsi, located in Helsinki. Its headquarters are also based in the Finnish capital, specifically in Ruskeasuo.

In 2017, Finnkino, along with other cinema chains in Scandinavia and the Baltics, was acquired by AMC Theatres as part of the Nordic Cinema Group acquisition, broadening its international presence. In addition to running cinemas, Finnkino took over the Finnish theatrical distribution of films from United International Pictures’ partner studios, Paramount Pictures (including DreamWorks productions) and Universal Pictures, starting in 2006.

Today, Finnkino continues to be a dominant force in the Nordic cinema industry, offering both film distribution and a wide range of cinematic experiences to audiences across Finland and neighboring countries.
