Our local CBS affiliate (Omaha, at the time) bragged about it for years.

National Amusements, Inc. is an American privately owned theater company based in Dedham, Massachusetts, United States. The company was founded in 1936, as the Northeast Theatre Corporation by Michael Redstone.

National Amusements is now owned by Michael Redstone's son, Sumner Redstone, who holds 80% of the company, and Sumner's daughter, Shari Redstone, who owns the remaining 20%. Through National Amusements, the Redstones control both the CBS Corporation (owner of CBS) and Viacom (owner of Paramount Pictures) through supervoting shares.[2]

The company operates more than 1,500 movie screens across the United States, the United Kingdom, Latin America, and Russia under its Showcase Cinemas, Multiplex Cinemas, Cinema de Lux, and KinoStar brands.

National Amusements is equal partners in MovieTickets.com.

National Amusements' slogan, "Welcome to the Show", was coined by policy trailer producer Pike Productions, Inc., with which National Amusements had an exclusive contract until Filmack acquired Pike, in the late 2000s.

The name "National Amusements" should be a clue as to the seriousness of its nature. "Welcome to the Show"

That's the real story, and no one in msm got it.

The Boeing CEO criticized donny about his China policy, such as it is. Donny gets pissed, tweets that Boeing will lose govt. contracts worth $4 billion. DT hates the First Amendment. He's making it clear that business has to support him or he'll go after them using the office of the Presidency.
