Screenvision was a joint venture between ITV plc (LSE: ITV), the UK’s leading free to air commercial television broadcaster with divisions operating television and cinema advertising sales, and one of Europe’s largest commercial television production businesses, as well as a major distribution business exploiting an extensive film and program library; and Technicolor SA, the world’s leading provider of technology, services, and systems and equipment to the media and entertainment industries. On 28 September 2010, ITV plc sold their stake to Shamrock Capital Growth Fund II, in a deal worth a reported $80m. Later on, Carmike Cinemas acquired 20% of Screenvision; today, that 20% stake is owned by AMC Entertainment. AMC's acquisition of Carmike Cinemas resulted in the transfer of 384 AMC Theatre screens into the Screenvision Media exhibitor network.
