Be the first person to write a business review for Troma Entertainment, Inc.

The company was founded in 1904 in New York City by William Fox, a 25 year-old Jewish Hungarian immigrant, who sold his cloth processing business and with the profits earned bought a lowly "common show." At that time, "common show" was the legal phrase for the exhibition of motion pictures in a store remodeled for that purpose and containing fewer than 299 seats. These primitive movie theaters charged five cents admission and therefore became known as "nickelodeons." Mr. Fox, a born showman, bolstered attendance by hiring a magician to perform in front of his store to attract customers. His growing number of patrons sat closely together on folding chairs (which were rented from a neighbourhood undertaker's parlour) and enjoyed simple short films. These early movie audiences viewed films that were hand-cranked through a lighted box which caused images to be magnified and projected against a white wall at the opposite end of the store. Along with partners B.S. Moss and Sol Brill, William Fox was able to plough profits from this first "common show" into a second and third, until the new exhibition firm of Fox, Moss and Sol Brill had 25 such establishments. As a next logical step, Mr. Fox and partners opened a film exchange - -one of the first in the nation. Named the Greater New York Film Rental Company, it provided their Nickelodeons with new movies and offered an ideal opportunity to trade films with other exhibitors and exchanges. By 1913, the rapid growth of the exhibition industry made it almost impossible to obtain new films. Mr. Fox quickly organized the Box Office Attraction Company and began producing movies of his own. Two years later, along with other motion picture pioneers such as Adolph Zukor (Paramount) and Carl Laemmle (Universal), Mr. Fox decided the temperate climate of California would more easily facilitate year-round productions. He moved his producing operations west and founded the Fox Film Corporation in 1915. Mr. Fox's business associate at the time was Winfield R. Sheehan, whom he named Vice President and General Manager of the new company.

Village Roadshow commenced operating in 1954, owning and managing one of the first drive-in cinemas in Australia in the Melbourne suburb of Croydon. From these modest beginnings, the Company gradually expanded its drive-in cinema circuit with the addition of more traditional or "hardtop" cinemas in major population centres. To strengthen its position through business diversification, Village Roadshow entered the vertically related businesses of film distribution in the 1960’s and film production in the 1970’s.In the eighties Village Roadshow was a pioneer in the development of state of the art multiplex cinema complexes. The Group’s developments raised cinema exhibition standards to new levels by utilising stadium seating, the latest sound systems and advanced projection technologies. These cinemas were the forerunners to the high quality multiplexes that operate in Village Roadshow’s cinemas today In the late eighties Village Roadshow’s growth strategy required greater access to capital. This was achieved through a "back door" stock market listing and additional capital raising through the takeover of De Laurentis Entertainment Limited in 1988, which then changed its name to Village Roadshow Limited, still under the majority ownership of the Kirby and Burke families' holding company, Village Roadshow Corporation. In the nineties, Village Roadshow sought to further strengthen its position by diversifying into complementary media and entertainment businesses. This included the purchase and development of theme parks: initially Wet’n’Wild (originally Cades County) in 1989, then Warner Bros. Movie World which opened in 1992, the acquisition of Sea World followed later in 1992 and then the more recent opening of Australian Outback Spectacular in 2006. Also in the nineties Village Roadshow purchased the Triple M radio network and subsequently integrated it to create the Austereo Group. This is a separately ASX listed company in which Village Roadshow has a majority shareholding. More recently Village Roadshow has scaled back its international cinema exhibition circuit whilst expanding its luxury premier cinema experience, Gold Class, into the United States market. In addition, the company has merged its Village Roadshow Pictures arm with Concord Music Group to form a new Los Angeles based diversified entertainment division, Village Roadshow Entertainment Group.
