CJ CGV's involvement
Minority ownership
In 2013, there was a rumor that Korean cinema chain, CJ CGV, supposedly bought BlitzMegaplex shares, something which was denied later on as it was illegal to do so under Indonesian law because the company was still on Indonesia's Daftar Negatif Investasi (DNI) or the negative investment list.[3][4] The evidence pointed on Koreans connected to CJ CGV being on the company's board before its IPO in since 2013.[5]
The company went public in the Indonesia Stock Exchange on 10 April 2014.[6] However, CJ CGV already owned several shares of the company a month before the IPO.[7] In August 2015, it was then rebranded all of its locations into CGV Cinemas.[8] Its first location with the brand CGV Blitz was Miko Mall, Bandung.

In 2018, Blitz Theater Grand Galaxy Park was replaced by Flix Cinema, another cinema chain by Agung Sedayu Group.[12] In February 2020, its location in Mall of Indonesia was replaced too by Flix Cinema,[13] as both malls are owned by Agung Sedayu Group, the same company which owns Flix Cinema.[14] Due to COVID-19 pandemic, its location in Kepri Mall is closed until now.[15] And two other locations: Harbour Bay and Daya Grand Square is closed due to both malls have ceased.[16][17] In 2024, two other locations: Bandara City Mall and Grand Kawanua Manado is closed due to low occupancy.
