AMC

AMC theaters have provided wonderful and relaxed moviegoing experiences to moviegoers for almost a century. This company expanded to become the world’s largest movie chain as a result of its success. Despite popular belief that the initials AMC stood for American Multi-Cinema, the principal shareholder from 2012 to 2018 was a Chinese firm called Dalian Wanda Group. The company’s prospects improved slightly when Silver Lake Partners made a $600 million investment in it in 2018. This does not change the fact that Wanda Group retains ultimate authority over executive-level hires.

Budweiser

Some argue that when it comes to beer, you can’t get more American than this. Despite the fact that it was started in Missouri and that the container still says “America,” this company is no longer American. InBev, the Belgian beer behemoth, paid $52 billion for this company in 2008. While it once had a strong American identity, it is now and in the future a very different place. Whatever the case may be, we’re glad the parent firm kept control of the formula. It hasn’t lost any of its original flavors!
