Sony Theatres
Background
Sony Theatres was a cinema chain operated by Sony Corporation of America, formed in 1994 as a rename of Loews Theatres (which was owned by Columbia Pictures Entertainment at the time). In 1996, the chain reverted back to the Loews name, and two years later, merged with Cineplex Odeon to form Loews Cineplex Entertainment.
(August 1994-1997)
Logo: On a gray background imprinted with "SONY THEATRES", "SONY THEATRES" scrolls past the screen, then a red "SONY THEATRES"-branded rectangle with a white outline moves up to the center, and the background shines diagonally to the right. A montage of clips from Sony Pictures movies throughout the years lasts throughout much of the trailer. Screens displaying "Hungry?", "Be Courteous", and "No Smoking" result in mentions of a concession stand, not talking during the movie, and not smoking. Near the end, Sony Theatres' gift certificates are promoted.
