Magic Johnson Theatres is a part of Johnson Development Corporation. It joined Sony Pictures Entertainment in 1994 through a partnership with Sony-Loews Theatres. The focus of Magic Theatres was to build first-rate multiplexes in urban communities, bringing high quality facilities and technology, as well as job development, encouraging local economic growth.

A 1998 merger between Sony-Loews and Cineplex Odeon Corporation caused Magic Theatres to become part of the new Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corp, currently one of the largest theatrical film exhibition companies in the world. While Magic Theatres are patterned after the Loews Cineplex Entertainment model, they retain the Magic name and focus on urban markets. Currently the chain is owned by AMC Theatres after Loews was acquired by the cinema giant in 2005.

Each complex is around 60,000 square feet with multiple concession areas, 10 to 15 screens with SDDS stereo sound, stadium seating and a capacity of 3,200 to 5,000. After building the Magic Theatre in Harlem, multiple businesses followed suit including Old Navy, Disney, and HMV.

Earvin Magic Johnson is chairman of Magic Theatres and is actively involved in the management committee, strategic planning, operations and public relations.
