	Movies - Mann Theatres

Mann Theatres is a movie theater chain that owns and operates 20 theatres with 122 screens in Southern California, including the world-famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The theaters are located in the Los Angeles area. Its motto is "Where Hollywood goes to the movies".

It is named after Ted Mann, the owner of the Mann's Theatre chain (and husband of Rhonda Fleming). Mann purchased Grauman's Chinese Theatre in 1973, and renamed it Mann's Chinese Theatre.

Mann used to be a dominant cinematic chain in Colorado and the Denver area, but were bought out over a period of time beginning in 2000 by Colorado Cinemas, a newly-founded theater chain that took over an operated several Mann theater locations in Denver. Carmike Cinemas bought and took over the Mann theater locations outside of the Denver area.

There is also a Mann Theatres chain in Minnesota with 11 theatres and 74 screens that was founded in 1935, around the same time that Ted Mann was getting into the business in St. Paul. However, that chain was started by Marvin Mann, and it is unclear if there was any relation between the two businessmen.
