Home Investment Approach

Megaplex Theatres

Our roots are based upon the fundamentals of quality real estate and its importance to the success of a movie theatre business. EPR has invested over $1.4 billion in 110 destination megaplex theatres. These theatres are operated by the world’s premier motion picture exhibition companies. All of our real estate financing is derived from this core of merging successful operators with quality real estate.

Put another way, we own more than 8.8 million square feet of buildings that house approximately 2,000 movie screens and over 400,000 theatre seats. Not just any seats. We have learned from our exhibition partners that if you give consumers the right experience, they’ll come back for more. When they come back, the value of the underlying real estate is sustained, and both the business and the real estate value are positioned to grow.

So our approach is to invest in theatre properties in convenient and ideal locations with a welcoming box office, attractive concession stands, state-of-the-art technology, and comfortable, clear-view, stadium-style seating. Liberated from the details of real estate financing, movie exhibition companies can focus on booking the right movies and events, training friendly staff and keeping the popcorn hot and the lobby clean.

With more than a decade of experience and success as a real estate company and partner to movie exhibition companies, EPR is on top of industry innovations like digital cinema and satellite delivery of live performances, business workshops and sporting events. EPR understands what brings people back again and again and how that keeps property values high.

In the megaplex business, we provide financial flexibility and thus support the strategy of our partners. We empower their success with real estate financing arrangements that make a capital difference.

EPR properties are consistent crowd-pleasers because we don’t run with the crowd. We’re selective about the partners we choose.
