Neighborhood Cinema Group


Neighborhood Cinema Group, branded as NCG Cinemas, is a chain of movie theaters headquartered in Owosso, Michigan. The chain consists at present of 20 theaters with 147 screens. Most of the theaters are located in Michigan, especially in the Flint and Great Lakes Bay region and the Greater Lansing area. In recent years the chain has expanded to include theaters in the Chattanooga, Tennessee, Metro Atlanta, Chicago areas, Indiana and South Carolina then built another building in North Carolina. On July 21, 2017, another location was opened in Kingsport, Tennessee.

Until 1985, Shiawassee County, Michigan had no multiplex cinema. This changed when Owosso's Capitol Theater (now Lebowsky Center) closed. When it was learned that the Capitol would close, Gary Geiger decided to build a multiplex theater in downtown Owosso which opened shortly thereafter. That first theater became, and remains, the headquarters of the NCG Cinema chain. In 1987, Geiger entered the Genesee County market by purchasing the Clio Cinemas, which had been built in 1974. The Alma Cinemas were built by Geiger in 1989, followed by the Greenville Cinemas the next year. The Neighborhood Cinema Group branding was first introduced in 1992, the year the chain's Midland, Michigan theater opened. By the end of the 20th century, two more theaters, located in Lapeer and Coldwater, Michigan, had opened.
