iPic Entertainment (OTCMKTS: IPIC) is a U.S.-based operator of upscale movie theaters, specializing in a full-service dining and entertainment experience. The company’s venues, branded as iPic Theaters, combine first-run film screenings with gourmet food offerings, premium bar service and luxury seating. Each location features reserved recliner seats, soundproofed auditoriums and in-theater service delivered by staff trained in restaurant-style hospitality. iPic’s lineup of films ranges from major studio releases to select independent and art-house titles.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in New York City, iPic has focused its expansion on high-density metropolitan areas. The company currently operates theaters in key markets across the United States, including California, Florida, Texas and the Washington, D.C. suburbs. Its locations aim to differentiate through modern design elements—such as lounge-style lobbies and curated lighting schemes—and technology initiatives like mobile ticketing, online ordering and contactless check-in.
In April 2020, iPic Entertainment filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in response to the industry-wide shutdown prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. After restructuring its balance sheet, the company emerged in late 2020 with a leaner cost structure and renewed focus on core markets. Post-reorganization, iPic has continued to refine its premium cinema concept, investing in enhanced culinary menus and partnerships with local artisans to keep its food-and-beverage offerings fresh and regionally relevant.
Led by founder and Chief Executive Officer Hamid Hashemi, iPic Entertainment maintains a strategy centered on differentiated customer experiences and targeted growth. The company emphasizes membership-driven loyalty programs, such as the iPic® Select Membership, which provides priority access, waived fees and special pricing on food, beverage and film tickets. Through a combination of upscale service, curated programming and strategic location choices, iPic seeks to position itself at the forefront of the evolving cinema landscape.
