Kinepolis announces that it has signed a lease contract for a cinema located in the shopping centre Polygone in Béziers, in the Hérault department in the south of France. The cinema, previously operated by MonCiné, has 9 screens and 1,462 seats. Kinepolis will start operating the cinema from 13 December 2023.

The takeover of the Béziers multiplex is part of Kinepolis' expansion strategy. It will be the third Kinepolis cinema in the south of France, and the Group's eighteenth nationwide, accounting for a total of 199 screens.
Eddy Duquenne, CEO of Kinepolis Group: "We are delighted to extent our brand presence in the south of France and to bring the Kinepolis moviegoing experience to the people of Béziers. We look forward to meeting our new colleagues and getting to know the movie lovers of Béziers.”
