This year marks the 100th anniversary of B&B Theatres, the country’s fifth largest movie theatre chain (by screen count) after AMC, Regal, Cinemark and Marcus. From its headquarters in Liberty, Missouri, B&B operates 54 theatres across 14 U.S. states with more than 500 screens.
B&B is the most prominent example of a multi-generational family business, which the exhibition industry is famous for. BoxofficePro lays out the past, present and future of the company, through interviews with members of the Bagby family, including its President Bob Bagby and his three children Bobbie, Brittanie, and Brock. B&B’s remarkable longevity is a testament to the vision and commitment of four generations in this family business, having navigated successfully the many ups and downs that the industry has experience over the past century.
