Ster-Kinekor is a South African-based cinema company, and the country's largest movie exhibitor. It represents 60-65% of the market, having 32 cinema complexes consisting of 342 screens, 47 961 seats and 124 3D screens across the country (Commercial, 3D, IMAX, D-BOX, Kids’ Cinema, Nouveau and Cine Prestige). The company operates 6 cinema complexes in other regions of Africa with 33 screens and 4 077 seats.

Its head office is at the Ster-Kinekor Office Park in Sandton, Johannesburg.[1]

Ster-Kinekor holds the largest market share of cinemas in South Africa, followed by Nu Metro Cinemas. Smaller, independent operators, including CineCentre, Movies@, and Epic Cinemas, make up the rest of the market.[2]

In 2021, following losses attributed to the COVID 19 pandemic, the company filed for "business rescue" and was acquired by investment firms 'Blantyre Capital' and 'Green Point Capital'.[3]
