The completely restored and renovated Massimo multiplex was inaugurated on January 24, 2001 and opened to the public the following day.

Two theatres, the 453-seat Massimo 1 and the 147-seat Massimo 2, showcase first releases and select, through the Circuito Cinema Company, the best quality films from the main Italian distributors (Bim, Mikado, Keyfilms, Lucky Red, Istituto Luce, 01 Distribuzione, Medusa). The Massimo multiplex is one of the very few Italian movie theatres equipped to project 70mm prints notable for the extraordinary image definition and the excellent sound of multi track recording. For its first anniversary in January 2002, the National Museum of Cinema has presented the 70mm version of "Alien" (1979) by Ridley Scott. The Massimo multiplex has also hosted the main film festivals in Torino: the Torino Film Festival, CinemAmbiente and Sottodiciotto.

The 147-seat Massimo 3 continues, after more than 12 years, its remarkable programming of significant films that have shaped the history of cinema together with retrospectives, special events, premières, discussions with scholars, filmmakers and other industry professionals, debates, conferences and first screenings of original versions with subtitles or simultaneous translation.
