Constantin Film-Holding je osnovan 1951. godine u Austriji kao filmska distribucijska kuća. Drugo uporište je stvoreno krajem 1960-ih u kinoprikazivačkom segmentu, unutar kojeg je do početka '90-ih otvoreno 25 tradicionalnih kina i kino centara. Zatim je 1993. godine slijedio zaokret. Osnovan je Cineplexx Cine Operations GmbH, podružnica tvrtke Constantin Film-Holding. U to vrijeme je u Austriji zatvoren veliki broj tradicionalnih kina, zbog ulaska multipleksa na tržište kino industrije. Constantin Film je reagirao na ove promjene, te je u Austriji osnovana grupa od 19 kina i 153 filmskih platna. Osim njih, dio grupacije su i tradicionalna kina sa ukupno 16 dvorana. CINEPLEXX HRVATSKA U travnju 2011. je otvoreno kina u Splitu u City Centru One s kapacitetom od 1298 sjedala. U veljači 2012. godine je otvoreno novo kino u Zagrebu u City Centru One East s kapacitetom od 968 sjedala.

Cinema Europa is an iconic Zagreb cinema, protected cultural heritage and national treasure of the Republic of Croatia. It was commissioned by the wealthy Zagreb-based Müller family and built by architect Srećko Florshütz in 1924/25. The goal was to make the most beautiful, important and modern cinema in this region. These eventful seven decades have seen the changing of street names and political and economic systems but the cinema has maintained its original purpose. Film lovers, couples and chance guests come here to relax, get away from reality and enjoy in good films. The City of Zagreb bought the cinema after a successful campaign organised by Zagreb Film Festival and Croatian Film Association. Croatian filmmakers' and cultural communities and all film lovers made an appeal to the city authorities to buy the cinema so that it could be preserved for film-screening purposes. In the early 2008, Zagreb Film Festival was entrusted with the managing of the Cinema Europa in order to turn it into a regional centre of cinematic art. Ever since, Cinema Europa has nurtured a program that makes it the leading regional institution for screening of independent contemporary films and a venue for almost all festivals and events in Zagreb. Its year-round regular program includes some forty independent contemporary films from all over the world and of all categories – feature and short fiction films, animated films, documentary films, experimental films, children's films etc. As many as 17 Croatian film festivals and events found their home on Varšavska Street 3. Our screenings include some thirty premiers of all genres every year. Paying particular attention to children, we show high-quality films intended for pre-school and school-age kids.
