Everyman Media Group plc (known as Everyman Cinemas) is a cinema company based in London, England.[2]
History
The company was founded in 2000, when entrepreneur Daniel Broch bought the original Everyman Cinema in Hampstead, London, which dated to 1933, which before then was a theatre. Broch led the growth of the company with the acquisition in 2008 of Screen Cinemas to add more locations. This coincided with Broch selling a majority stake in the enlarged company, though he remains a shareholder.[3]
The group is extending its operating area and has opened cinemas in northern England. The first of these opened in
In August 2013, The Guardian reported that the entire non-management staff of about 100 was employed on zero-hour contracts, earning just above the minimum wage, and without any guaranteed set hours each week.[7]
Operations
Everyman Cinemas offer a programme of films and special events, including the Metropolitan Opera from New York and the National Theatre (in selected cinemas), live Q&As, film festivals and seasons.[8] The venues each feature a licensed bar, food, digital projection and surround sound technology.[9]
