Santikos Theatres


Santikos Entertainment is a movie theater chain based in San Antonio, Texas, USA. The company was started by Louis Santikos, a Greek entrepreneur, who had moved to Texas and immediately opened nickelodeons in the city in the early 1900s. His son John Santikos eventually took over the company and continued to create various movie theaters, including indoor multi-screen theaters and local drive-ins.

In 1987, John Santikos sold the company to Act III Theatres. John Santikos was able to buy back the company in 2001 due to the recession of 2001 that had affected the industry. It has expanded to seven local theaters and two outside San Antonio in the greater Houston area. In 2014, ownership of the chain was passed to the San Antonio Area Foundation upon John Santikos' death. In 2017 the 2 Houston locations were taken over by Regal Theaters.
