COLLEEN BARRETT


Lee Roy Mitchell opened his first theatre over 40 years ago. Growing up around thefamily’s theatre business, he worked in every facet of theatre exhibition from buying and booking film to popping corn.

Starting his theatre business in Ennis, Texas, Lee Roy built and expanded his circuit into the largest independent theatre exhibitor in the state of Texas. A pioneer in theatrepromotions and sensitive to the budgets of many families, Lee Roy developed theconcept of “reduced admission” nights that was emulated by the entire industry. This later proved to be the forerunner of Cinemark’s discount “Dollar Cinemas.”

Lee Roy Mitchell founded Cinemark USA, Inc. in 1987 and since its inception has served as ChiefExecutive Officer and Chairman of the Board and has grown Cinemark to the third largest theatreexhibitor in the United States with over 5,000 screens worldwide. Lee Roy Mitchell has also guidedCinemark USA, Inc. into the leading motion picture theatre company in 14 countries throughout LatinAmerica and Taiwan. Impressively, Cinemark is the number one attended theatre circuit in the world withover 241 million guests in 2010. While others may flinch at the challenge of building a global exhibitioncompany, Lee Roy perceives it as another opportunity to go after the fruit … out on the limb!

In 2004, Cinemark executed a merger agreement that valued the company at approximately $1.5 billion.In 2007, the company went public and is now traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

The success of Cinemark Holdings is largely attributable to the ability of Lee Roy to put his vision and his values at the forefront of the company’s business strategy. He prioritizes people over profit. He respectsand invests in the communities and countries in which the company operates. He leads a managementteam and employees who understand and act according to his vision and values, truly putting the customer first. The result is a company operating on a global scale that constantly leverages breakthroughtechnologies, introduces improved levels of comfort and maximizes the entertainment value of everyperson who walks through an entrance of a Cinemark property.

A number of other entertainment industry and community organizations have benefited greatly from Lee Roy’s perspective as well. He has served on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) for more than 20 years. In addition, NestEntertainment, Southern Methodist University Meadows School of the Arts, Bill Glass Ministries,National CineMedia, LLC and Texas Capital Bank are among businesses and organizations in which Lee Roy has played a leadership role.

Although Lee Roy may have lived his life “out on the limb,” he is deeply rooted in traditional values.From his humble beginnings in Ennis, Texas, Lee Roy has achieved remarkable success in his personal lifeand in the business world; achievements which surprise no one who knows him. His small-town values, hisdedication to his family and employees, and his trust in God, have guided Lee Roy’s life.

No story about Lee Roy would be complete without including his business partner and wife, Tandy. Their partnership of over 30 years has had a major impact on the success of Cinemark. They enjoytraveling and celebrating the success of the many charitable endeavors they support. Their personal strategy behind charitable giving is to empower people to better help themselves.

Lee Roy may have started from humble beginnings; however, he leveraged those values he learned, vision,passion and service to make a difference. His results are revolutionary.

“Eventually, you have to go out on the limb, because that’s where the fruit is.”

LEE ROY MITCHELL
