Apple Cinemas

Apple Cinemas was founded in 2010 and named for Apple Valley Mall in Smithfield, Rhode Island, where the first location was planned but never opened.^[1] Its first theatre opened in 2013 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and eventually expanded to Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island, with a Pennsylvania location in Philadelphia planned.^[2][3]

In July 2025, the chain opened its first location outside of the Northeastern United States in San Francisco, California, taking over the 14-screen theatre at the 1000 Van Ness building formerly operated by AMC Theatres and CGV Cinemas.^[4][5] In August 2025, shortly after the location opened and its announcement of future Bay Area locations, Apple Inc. filed a lawsuit against the chain, claiming its name caused customer confusion and it was leveraging it to secure favorable leasing deals.^[1][6]
