First National
The First National Exhibitors' Circuit was founded in 1917 by the merger of 26 of the biggest First Run cinema chains in the United States of America, eventually controlling over 600 cinemas, more than 200 of them so-called "first run" houses (as opposed to the "second run" neighborhood theaters to which films moved when their first run boxoffice receipts dwindled).
