In Europe it has cinemas in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia. In Poland, Cinema City has almost 40% of the multiplex market, with Multikino its major competitor. CCI also runs a chain of Israeli multiplexes under the name of Rav-Hen.

This was followed in 2003 by the takeover of Krewetka multiplex in Gdańsk, then owned by Superkino (part of Vision Film Distribution company).
