AMC
AMC is proud to have provided its many audiences with around one hundred years of cinema pleasure, this business long ago established itself as a global leader in movie theater production and maintenance. Ironically, “AMC” stands for “American Multi-Cinema,” which is why it is rather amusing that Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese business, took over the majority stakeholder position between 2012 and 2018. After that, the power balance shifted slightly when Silver Lake Partners purchased a stake in AMC worth $600 million. Regardless, Wanda Group continues to be the main shot caller for AMC.
Budweiser
When it comes to brews, Americans are convinced that Budweiser is the face of their nation’s beer goodness. It could have been a legitimate source of pride once upon a time; however, the modern reality of the once Missouri-based company should not be taken from its containers’ “America” labels. A Belgium brewery behemoth captured Budweiser in 2008 for $52 billion. Regardless of its Missouri origins, this company has a Belgium base nowadays. At least we can be grateful for the new owners’ reluctance to mess with the formula. You can still enjoy that good old-fashioned American flavor!
