Starplex Cinemas

Starplex Cinemas sadly could never match AMC in its performance and popularity. With a comparatively humble 34 spots within America, its populations fail to even reach its cinemas due to its sparsely scattered venues. Speaking of AMC, the cinema empire would absorb Starplex for $175 million in 2015. Such outlets were transformed into AMC Classics venues. With Dalian Wanda Group having taken over AMC, it comes as no surprise if the Starplex Cinemas name was wiped off the face of the Earth in 2017. AMC has obviously been turned into quite an aggressive group by its new owner.

California Grapes International Inc

Another Californian legend comes in the form of the original California Grapes Inc. from San Jose. It would one day be acquired by China Food Services Corp. While it was fondly remembered for its wine distribution, its new owners locked it away in a deep and darkroom. Neither group ever revealed how much the purchase was valued at. Borne in 1992, China Food Services Corp. has retained a high level of secrecy. It did mention that it, “is engaged in marketing, distribution, and selling of food and beverages though-out Asia and the Middle East. It owns and operates Golden Dragon Food & Beverage Import & Export Company of Hong Kong, Ltd.”
